Spooky season is here, and it brings PlayStation Plus games for Extra and Premium subscribers! 7 games are being added to the Extra tier, with two more coming to Premium, with a good selection fit for the spooky season. There are also quite a few extra goodies for subscribers, detailed at the end of the article.
MPROTANT NOTE: Sony is testing the waters by staggering releases, meaning each game will be released on a different day, similar to how Game Pass handles things. We've noted the dates for each game under their title, and we moved the platforms there too. This only applies to the US, UK and Japan regions. Everyone else is getting the games on October 20th.
Descriptions (in italic) taken from the linked blog post. Let's get into it!

Games with only a PS4 version should also work on the PS5.
Mafia: The Old Country
PS5 - on October 20 worldwide
Uncover the origins of organized crime in this gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Family in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era. This thrilling narrative is brought to life by stunning visuals, cinematic storytelling and the authentic realism that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for. Enzo’s story unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara sawed-off shotgun was a go-to firearm, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars.
Horizon Forbidden West

Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West – a majestic but dangerous frontier that conceals mysterious new threats.

Reunite with old friends, forge alliances with warring new factions and unravel the legacy of the ancient past – all the while trying to stay one step ahead of a seemingly undefeatable new enemy.

They are the New Atlas Hazard Crew, a ramshackle squad of exterminators sent to uncover the mysteries behind a planet-wide fungal catastrophy. Embark on a series of dangerous planet-side missions to drive back the mycological menace. Could this be a simple natural disaster like they claim? And did SAXON really misfile your taxes? Or was that your own fault?
