Every Game Coming to PlayStation in October 2025

October is always one of the busier months of the year for video game fans, as developers look to get big releases out ahead of the holiday season. That said, October 2025 is one of the stronger Octobers we’ve seen in the last few years, especially if you’re a PlayStation fan. While games like Ghost of Yōtei will get most of the shine, this month is filled with exciting games from nearly every genre. If you can’t find something to play on PS5 in October, that’s a you problem. There really does look to be something for everyone.

Here’s a look at every major PlayStation release in October 2025.

27) Ghost of Yōtei

• Release Date: October 2nd, 2025

Ghost of Yōtei is the big first-party game for PlayStation fans this fall. The sequel to Ghost of Tsushima puts players in the shoes of a new protagonist in a new region rife with places to explore. If you loved the first game, you’ll surely have a blast tracking down the Yōtei Six.

26) Digimon Story: Time Stranger

• Release Date: October 3rd, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Time Stranger is the seventh game in the long-running Digimon Story series. Early previews have claimed it’s focused on pleasing fans of the original Digimon Adventure anime and praised the more complicated battle system.

25) Finding Paradise

• Release Date: October 8, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Finding Paradise is the third game in the series that began with To the Moon, continuing the story of doctors Eva Rosalene and Neil Watts. Technically, Finding Paradise launched in 2017 on PC, but this port is finally coming to PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Hopefully, the Imposter Factory prequel will quickly follow it.

24) Absolum

• Release Date: October 9th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch

Absolum is a side-scrolling beat-em up from the publishers at Dotemu. It mixes in some roguelike elements to keep things fresh, but the real excitement comes from Dotemu being behind it. The publisher has a knack for finding solid, retro-style games with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. Hopefully, they can keep up that momentum.

23) Yooka-Replaylee

• Release Date: October 9, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Yooka-RePlaylee is a remaster of the original game, featuring several important tweaks and a host of quality-of-life improvements. If you’ve already played through the original, there might be too much for you with this one, but it’s going to be the best way to play Yooka-Laylee.

22) Battlefield 6

• Release Date: October 10th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Despite the numbering, Battlefield 6 is the eighteenth game in the long-running shooter series. It’s supposedly one of the most expensive games ever made, with the devs hoping upgrades like the new “Kinesthetic Combatt System” pay off. Unfortunately, the bad taste of Battlefield 2042 might keep some away, but EA is clearly banking on this being a return to form for the series.

21) Little Nightmares III

• Release Date: October 10th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Little Nightmares III is the first game in the series that isn’t being made by Tarsier Studios. Instead, Supermassive Games, the team behind Until Dawn and The Quarry, is taking over. It’s also the first time players can jump into online co-op, so expectations are high.

20) Just Dance 2026 Edition

• Release Date: October 14, 2025
• Other Platforms: Switch, Xbox

In 2025, the Just Dance series isn’t surprising anyone. Ubisoft has been making these games for more than a decade now, and fans know exactly what’s coming. If you’re into rhythm game dancing, this is the one for you.

19) NASCAR 25

• Release Date: October 14, 2025
• Other Platforms: Xbox

NASCAR 25 is the first game in the long-running series that’s being developed on the Unreal Engine. It’ll have a career mode that lets you work up through the ranks from a backyard garage to the pinnacle of the sport. Like Just Dance, if you pick this up, you know exactly what you’re getting into.

18) Ball x Pit

• Release Date: October 15th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Ball x Pit is best described as a roguelike version of Brick-Breaker. It’s a little more than that, as you have more control over your “paddle” than you do in the classic arcade game, but that’s the gist of it. Add in a dash of city-builder to help progression, and you have an exciting game that meshes genres in brand-new ways.

17) Overthrown

• Release Date; October 16th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Overthrown has been out in early access on PC since late 2024, but it’s finally getting its 1.0 and console launch in October. This 1-6 player city builder is kind of like a more chaotic version of Stardew Valley, but in 3D.

16) Jurassic World Evolution 3

• Release Date: October 21st, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Evolution 3 is another construction and management sim from the team at Frontier Developments. Jurassic Park fans will also appreciate Jeff Goldblum coming back as Dr. Ian Malcolm for the campaign mode.

15) Ninja Gaiden 4

• Release Date: October 21st, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Team Ninja and PlatinumGames’ Ninja Gaiden 4 puts players in the shoes of a new character named Yakumo, though the series’ lead Ryu Hayabusa is playable at times. Either way, Ninja Gaiden 4 looks like the classic action combat fans are used.

14) Painkiller

• Release Date: October 21st, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Painkiller is a reboot of the classic FPS from the developers at Anshar Studios and publishers at 3D Realms. The 2004 original was the first game from People Can Fly, solidifying itself as a team that could make solid FPS games. Anshar Studios is best known for the cyberpunk isometric RPG Gamedec, so it’ll be fun to see what wrinkles they add.

13) Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

• Release Date: October 21st, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

After years of rocky development, Bloodlines 2 is finally happening. Given all of the issues that have plagued Bloodlines 2, it’s worth having muted expectations, but if developer The Chinese Room can deliver, fans will have another great vampire RPG on their hands.

12) Dispatch

• Release Date: October 22, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC

Dispatch stars Aaron Paul as a former superhero who is now working for the Superhero Dispatch Network. Developer AdHoc Studio will release two episodes of the adventure game weekly, so you’ll be playing this one through November 12th, at least.

11) Double Dragon Revive

• Release Date: October 23rd, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Double Dragon Revive is developed by Yuke’s and hopes to bring the series back to its roots. You’ll dive into classic side-scrolling beat-’em up action, with a new coat of paint. There are over 50 mission types, giving you plenty of variety as you work your way through the story.

10) Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted

• Release Date: October 23rd, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

This is a full remaster of the original Plants vs. Zombies game. That means higher-definition graphics and full multiplayer compatibility. That said, it’s still that classic PvZ gameplay.

9) Once Upon a Katamari

• Release Date: October 24th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Once Upon a Katamari is the first original game in the Katamari series since 2011. It’s the same classic gameplay you’re used to. You’ll roll your sticky ball around the world, trying to make it as big as possible to please The King of All Cosmos.

8) Halls of Torment

• Release Date: October 28th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox, mobile

Halls of Torment has been out on PC and mobile since last year, but is finally coming to consoles. It’s an action RPG in the vein of Diablo, but mixes in the auto-attacking from Vampire Survivors. If you’re looking for something new to scratch that itch, Halls of Torment is worth checking out.

7) Wreakreation

• Release Date: October 28th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

Wreakreation is the next game from the team behind Dangerous Driving, which is a spiritual sequel to Burnout. With that in mind, Wreakreation is supposed to be a modern take on Burnout Paradise, featuring an open world for players to explore.

6) The Outer Worlds 2

• Release Date: October 29th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

The upcoming sequel to Obsidian’s “Fallout in space” looks to build on the original in nearly every way. This time, you’ll explore the wealthy colony of Arcadia and have to navigate the ongoing conflict between the totalitarian government and a megacorporation. So, pretty light fare.

5) ARC Raiders

• Release Date: October 30th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Xbox

ARC Raiders is an upcoming extraction shooter from the team at Embark Studios. It’s been in development since 2021, but has undergone several changes over the years. Still, early play tests have been promising, though the genre has only gotten more crowded over the last few years.

4) Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake

• Release Date: October 30th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

This is a combo package of two all-time great RPGs. They’ve been remade in HD-2D, giving them the Octopath Traveler look. It’ll be a great way to jump in at the beginning of the long-running series.

3) Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection

• Release Date: October 30th, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Developer Digital Eclipse’s next compilation takes on the legendary Mortal Kombat series. This collection puts together the first four MK games and several spin-offs through the PlayStation 1 era. In between gameplay sessions, you’ll also enjoy a ton of behind-the-scenes and interview material from NetherRealm Studios.

2) Mina the Hollower

• Release Date: October 31st, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

Yacht Club Games became a huge success thanks to its Shovel Knight series. With Mina the Hollower, it’s finally stepping away from its most successful property to try something new. This game plays similarly to The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Ages, but looks more like an anthropomorphic Castlevania.

1) Tales of Xillia Remastered

• Release Date: October 31st, 2025
• Other Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox

The Tales series has become a best-seller for Bandai Namco. The developer announced, as part of the series’ 30th anniversary, that it would be working on a new Tales Remaster Project, and Xillia is up next. At the time of its original release, it was the most pre-ordered Tales game of all time, so hopes are high that this will perform well too.
