It's very nearly October, and that means we're about to see a refresh of the free games offered through PlayStation Plus. Sony saved this month's reveal for the very last minute - while it usually reveals new PlayStation Plus games a few days before the end of the month, it's only now revealing October's games on the day before the new month begins. In any case, one of the free PS Plus games for October definitely fits the Halloween theme, and fans of vampires in particular will want to check it out.

While it will, of course, be possible to play the PS4 versions of these two games on the PS5, gamers might have to pay extra depending on what they're buying or have already bought.

Last week, Hello Games revealed that a new update was on the way for No Man's Sky. Dubbed Origins, Hello Games teased that this update would be "the beginning of something new" for No Man's Sky, at the same time indicating that it wouldn't be as big as some previous updates.
