Sony has officially confirmed two extra PlayStation Plus freebies for October 20. Both bonuses are trials rather than full games that PS Plus members can claim permanently.
Game trials are a benefit reserved for PS Plus Premium subscribers. While they typically remain available for years, few are truly permanent catalog additions, with Sony generally keeping them accessible until further notice rather than assigning fixed end dates. In this case, the company has not announced how long either of the new October 20 trials will remain available, which is consistent with its usual approach.
PlayStation Plus launches its complimentary games for October 2026, allowing subscribers to claim three very different titles worth $150 combined.
The October 20 additions are Mortal Shell 2 and Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. Both of them are fairly new releases, having originally launched in late summer 2026. Specifically, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy arrived on PC and consoles on August 27, while Mortal Shell 2 debuted seven days earlier. Both are also priced below the modern AAA average, at $49.99 for the Mortal Shell sequel and $59.99 for the latest A Plague Tale game. The latter currently has no free trial on any platform, whereas Mortal Shell 2 already offers one on PC and the Series X/S via Steam and the Xbox Store, respectively. Although technically marketed as an "open beta," it functions as a demo and has remained available since the game's launch.
Mortal Shell 2 is a standalone sequel to the 2020 soulslike from American studio Cold Symmetry.
