It’s finally here: 1999’s Dino Crisis is coming to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers for free on October 15.
This underrated Capcom classic helmed by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami involves some sort of … dinosaur crisis. It’s a survival horror action game (with guns for shooting dinosaurs and puzzles) that’ll feel familiar for retro Resident Evil fans. You will have to get the most expensive PS Plus tier to play it since it’ll be in the Classics catalog, but it’s a bit of a remaster, with up-rendering, custom video filters, rewind, and quick save.
There hasn’t been a Dino Crisis game since 2003, but it’s beloved for being just of the moment. It came on the heels of a decade full of Jurassic Park entries and knockoffs and multiple successful Resident Evil entries, so it’s very of that era. But with Resident Evil remakes doing well with both critics and players, and Capcom releasing Exoprimal, which is in many ways a Dino Crisis spiritual successor, maybe it’s time to give Dino Crisis a try.
Sony announced during its September State of Play that Dino Crisis, along with Blood Omen: Legacy Of Kain, would be launching to its subscription service. There is no date for this Legacy of Kain game addition just yet, although Sony said it would happen “soon”
There are even more horror games coming on October 15 that are perfect for the spooky season. Fans of Supermassive Games’ The Dark Pictures Anthology are getting another addition this month with The Devil in Me, while Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed from IllFonic, a studio known for licensed horror games, is set to possess the platform. And if you want something a more gory, Dead Island 2 brings you to Los Angeles to deal with a zombie outbreak.
However, if you’re here because you want to play Dino Crisis, PlayStation is also adding the PlayStation 2 survival horror game Siren to the Classics catalog. This game from the director of the original Silent Hill has gotten the same upgrades as Dino Crisis, so up-rendering, custom video filters, rewind, and quick save capabilities.
You can check out the full list of PS Plus additions below. They’ll all be on the service October 15. Subscribers can claim any game to keep.

The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
