Gram.pl reported additional details regarding Mycopunk, noting that players take on the role of a robot squad employed by the SAXON corporation to fight a fungal threat on an alien planet, utilizing hundreds of equipment upgrades and futuristically armed missions. Gram.pl also noted that for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition, players can create their own amusement park, design roller coasters, and manage the finances of the entire enterprise.
Sony Adds New Game Trials and Halloween Perks
Sony is introducing new game trials to the Premium tier. Gram.pl and ppe.pl stated that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and Mortal Shell II will be available to test starting October 20, 2026. Several other trials—including Valheim, The Sinking City 2, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, and Directive 8020—are already accessible for testing.
As part of the HorrorFest event, gram.pl noted that subscribers can obtain the World War Z: Vibrant Halloween Skin Pack featuring five weapon skins and Halloween cosmetics starting October 20, while an expansion for Back 4 Blood named Tunnels of Terror will be claimable without extra charges from October 21 to November 4. Gram.pl also noted that two other add-ons and the annual pass will receive a 95% discount. Furthermore, ppe.pl reported a community challenge in Dead By Daylight 2 running from October 20 to 26, where players reaching 10 million total matches will unlock the exclusive Buccaneer Buds cosmetic charm featuring survivor Jeff Johansen and his dog in pirate outfits. Additionally, subscribers can purchase the film Until Dawn at a discounted price via Sony Pictures Core starting October 28.
Grand Theft Auto V Departs Ahead of GTA 6
While new games enter the service, rtvmaniak.pl reported that Grand Theft Auto V will leave the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog on November 17, 2026. Gamegpu noted that Sony system notifications are informing PS5 owners of the impending removal, which occurs exactly two days before the scheduled November 19, 2026 release of Grand Theft Auto VI. Both rtvmaniak.pl and Gamegpu confirmed that the system prompts encourage users to replay the title or pre-order the upcoming sequel before the removal date. Furthermore, an official promotional message in PlayStation Plus directly links the fifth and sixth installments of Rockstar Games’ criminal game series, inviting players to experience or replay the stories of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor before Jason and Lucia’s criminal adventures begin in Vice City. Persons who want to replay the Rockstar game through the subscription before the debut of the next installment must therefore take the earlier deadline into account.
