While it’s impossible to consistently predict any month’s games, as some titles feel chosen at random based on behind-the-scenes publisher partnerships, there are a few reliable patterns that can make a wish list feel grounded in reality. Usually, when crafting monthly PlayStation Plus lineups, Sony makes sure that the Essential titles don’t overlap in their genres. Additionally, PS Plus drops can be used to promote new releases in the same franchise or capitalize on the success of external media. The following PS Plus wish list candidates would follow these patterns, as Sony could hype up an upcoming 2026 release, build off of a hit film’s hype, and work alongside a publisher for a mutually beneficial deal.
While Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most anticipated video game ever made as is, it wouldn’t hurt for PlayStation to double down on the association between this series and the PS5. In addition to all the “plays best on PlayStation” advertising, rolling out the red carpet for GTA 6 via a themed PS Plus addition seems like a real possibility. And given that GTA 4 is unplayable on PS5, and GTA 5 has been a part of the PS Plus service on multiple occasions, a trilogy of PS2 remasters is the next best thing.
While this Grand Theft Auto game collection was critically panned when it first released, as players took issue with lighting changes, visual bugs, and a lack of modern controls, a series of patches ensured that the Definitive Edition remasters eventually lived up to their name. If Rockstar wants to get players as excited as possible for GTA 6, letting them binge these remastered classics for free if they have PS Plus would be a brilliant way to help make that happen.

After an entire franchise of critical flops that made controversial decisions with existing characters, Resident Evil has finally managed to get glowing reviews and box office success with the same film. Zach Cregger’s latest horror gem captures the feel of traversing one of Capcom’s terrifying worlds, even if it takes place in its own timeline and introduces its own characters. And to celebrate that success, getting one of the modern Resident Evil games on PlayStation Plus would be ideal.
Not only is October the month of Halloween, which practically demands a horror headliner for PS Plus, but Resident Evil titles have also appeared on PS Plus multiple times. The original 3 games are part of the PS Plus Premium Classics Catalog, and RE Village is part of Extra’s catalog. With RE Requiem only just releasing in 2026, getting one of the remakes on the service would make more sense, like 2023’s exceptional revisit of Resident Evil 4.
Metaphor: ReFantazio would be a mutually beneficial addition to PlayStation Plus’ Essential games. Not only would a chunky JRPG differ from the fairly linear horror game and collection of remasters proposed above, but it’s also simply an excellent title that could be a headliner for any month. With Atlus cozying up to the competition and offering multiple Persona games via Xbox Game Pass, Sony offering one of the studio’s many gems for free could help convince JRPG lovers that there will still be great deals on both platforms regarding their genre of choice.
