Superhot and Injustice 2 on PS4 round out the PS Plus Essential lineup for October 2022

You can follow those links and claim the games starting on Tuesday, October 4.

Hot Wheels Unleashedhas some cool locations, complete with nostalgic plastic orange tracks, and the cars look authentic, too. The main hangup is the way they’re unlocked (through loads of DLC and loot boxes), and whilethose complaints still stand, getting access to the base game with your PlayStation Plus subscription eases the tension a bit.

PlayStation Plus Essential is giving out Hot Wheels Unleashed in October

I’m not sure where you’re at with general superhero fatigue in 2022, andInjustice 2feels like a short lifetime ago, but it’s the kind ofbroad-appeal fighterthat makes sense for the PS Plus audience. (There’s a story mode.) Been there, done that? I feel you.

As forSuperhot, it’s a game about looking cool with a novel time-moves-when-you-do mechanic powering cinematic shootouts and other crazed action scenes.A classic FPS, though I’m sure plenty of you would’ve preferred getting the VR edition instead.

Bullet time in Superhot

Obligatory reminder in case it slipped your mind: you have until October 3 to claimNeed for Speed Heat,Granblue Fantasy: Versus, andToem. If you’re a completionist — or could be, under the right circumstances — then I’d also suggest snagging the freeKeys to the MapforNeed for SpeedHeatwhile you’re at it. It’ll fill in the collectible locations.

According to Sony, the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game additions for October will be shared “later this month.” More classics this time, please! Like,a lot more.
