PS Plus Catalog Adds Mafia: The Old Country on October 20

PlayStation has announced its Game Catalog lineup for Extra and Premium subscribers for October 2026. The lineup is headlined by Mafia: The Old Country, Horizon Forbidden West, and Mycopunk. Most of these games will be available starting October 20, as reported by GameSpot.

The key titles give this lineup some serious weight. Mafia: The Old Country marks Hangar 13’s return to the crime series, arriving as the “newest Mafia game,” according to Polygon. Meanwhile, Horizon Forbidden West, a sequel from Guerrilla Games released in 2022, adds a strong first-party title to the mix.

Additionally, Video Games Chronicle has confirmed that Tales of Arise will also join the October offerings. This 2021 JRPG from Bandai Namco rounds out a lineup that features a crime drama, an open-world action RPG, and a role-playing adventure. Mycopunk takes its place as the newer release alongside Mafia.

Kotaku has praised this month as “one of the service’s best months in a long time.” That’s a strong statement considering that previous Catalog updates often received complaints about filler content. The combination of a recent AAA release and a first-party title is likely the reason for this positive reception.

The Catalog is exclusive to Extra and Premium tiers. GameSpot points out that all PS Plus members, including Essential subscribers, can claim other games for the month separately. For more details, check out the PlayStation Blog for the complete list and full Catalog.

However, not everything is sticking around. Levelup reports that a “nearly perfect” AAA game will leave PS Plus in November 2026, as Sony encourages subscribers to look toward the sequel. Since Catalog access is temporary, players wanting specific titles should keep an eye on departure dates.

Community Pulse

Player reactions are still coming in, and no community quotes were available at the time of publication. However, the initial critical response appears positive. Kotaku’s description of October as “one of the service’s best months in a long time” sets a high expectation. The combination of a recent release and a major Sony sequel backs this up. Expect Mafia: The Old Country to attract the most attention at launch.
