PS Plus game catalog titles for October

Dead Island 2 is the headliner in this month’s Game Catalog offering. Dambuster Studios’ action RPG, released last year, tasks players with defeating as many zombies as possible and escaping LA –– or Hell-A –– as the game calls it. You crash into the city of dreams, which quickly turns into a city of nightmares after a zombie virus drives LA’s crazed residents into undead madness. Players must craft and upgrade a variety of melee weapons, from baseball bats to samurai swords, to break through the horde and find a way out of Hollywood. There are also guns in Dead Island 2, but punching zombies in the face is just more fun. The game will be available on both PS4 and PS5.
