What’s up, gaming community. Welcome back to another of these small glimmers of deals. Another month, another set of free games to get with those paid subscriptions or apps. This article will contain a list of free games for October 2022, varying by platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC).
As a reminder, Epic Games won’t announce which game is free until the week prior. So, I will be updating this article weekly. Without further ado, let’s begin.
PlayStation Plus Essential is a subscription that offers 2 PS4 games and a PS5 game. Disclaimer: If your subscription expires, the games are blocked without renewal or buying the game separately.
For October 2022, the PlayStation Plus player base will be able to download:
- Hot Wheels Unleashed (PS5/PS4) (October 4th until October 31st)
- Injustice™ 2 (PS4) (October 4th until October 31st)
- SUPERHOT (PS4) (October 4th until October 31st)
PlayStation doesn’t have a bad game for this month. NetherRealm’s Injustice and the indie SUPERHOT would have made it successful. But I can’t say anything terrible about Hot Wheels because I know how fun the game and community are with the entry. PS4 and PS5 free games have and still remain consistent with their quality.
Xbox Live Gold is a subscription that offers a combination of two Xbox Series/Xbox One games, one Xbox 360 game, and one original Xbox game. Disclaimer: Any Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One games thru Gold will not be accessible until the subscription is renewed. Any Xbox 360 games obtained thru Gold will be permanently added to the user’s library even after the subscription ends. All free Xbox 360 and original Xbox games will be automatically backward-compatible with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
For October 2022, the Xbox Live Gold players will be able to download:
- Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One:
- Windbound (October 1st until 31st)
- Bomber Crew Deluxe (October 16th until November 15th)
Prime Gaming (formerly Twitch Prime) is available to all Amazon Prime members, giving PC games and DLC to users each month. Disclaimer: Any games or DLC obtained will be permanently added to the user’s library even after the Prime subscription ends. Some games/DLC require connecting your amazon account with 3rd –party developer websites (will be identified).
To the PC master race for October 2022 (between October 1st and November 1st), you will receive:
- Free until October 31st:

- Hero’s Hour
- Glass Masquerade: Origins
- Horace
- Total War: WARHAMMER II
Finally, we got the Epic Games Store also for the PC. Disclaimer: Any games obtained will be added to the user’s library after the free period ends. Epic Games Store doesn’t require a paid subscription of any kind.
PC players for October 2022 will also be able to get:
- Runbow (September 29th until October 6th)

October is looking like a slow month this year. This month, there isn’t anything too horrible, but there are a few diamonds in the rough. Hopefully, some deals will come out during the month. Worst case, we’ll just wait until November.
If you still wish to look for more free games available, make sure to read September’s edition of the article. Depending on when you read this, there may be games that are still free. Other than this, that will do it for this month. Make sure you come back here for any updates. While you’re at it, make sure you subscribe to me or follow me on Twitter @_urgegaming. I hope you and your loved ones have a blessed day and a cultural month. Peace.
