Sony has revealed the games you'll be able to pick up as part of the October PlayStation Plus Monthly Games system, led by a couple of standout titles, with a third game you might not have ever played, but could get some serious value out of. Of all three only one is a PS5 and PS4 offering, with the other two being PS4-only.



Hot Wheels Unleashed leads the pack for October, a game we described in the above-linked review as "utterly gorgeous" and featuring an "excellent race feel and a high skill ceiling".

Collect, build and race in this fantastic arcade sim based on the Hot Wheels universe. Earn new vehicles then take them to the track to race side by side with friends in two-player split-screen, or face up to 12 opponents in online challenges. Create amazing layouts inside and outside the track editor. Players can add loops, special boosters, obstacles and special elements to make an incredible amusement park for their races, then share their creations online for other players to try.

This is followed by one of our favourites, Injustices 2:

The creators of Mortal Kombat return to the DC universe with the biggest superhuman roster. Select from twisted versions of iconic heroes and supervillains and bring epic-scale battles to awe-inspiring locations across the globe. Players can take on other players locally and online, or immerse themselves in the story-driven single player campaign as Batman struggles against Superman’s regime. Players will earn gear after every match to equip, customise and evolve their roster.

And finally Superhot -- a game that threw a couple of really fantastic ideas at the basics of the FPS to try turn the genre on its head:

Blurring the lines between cautious strategy and unbridled mayhem, Superhot is the FPS in which time moves only when players move. No generating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops/ It’s just players, outnumbered and outgunned, grabbing the weapons of fallen enemies to shoot, slice, and maneuver through a hurricane of slow-motion bullets. Superhot’s polished, minimalist visual language helps players concentrate on the most important - on the fluidity of gameplay and cinematic beauty of the fight.

Sony also reminds us to remind you that this current month's offerings are still available up until October 3, so get them now if you haven't.
