The Last of Us Part 2

This award-winning action adventure game drops you right back into an apocalyptic world filled with cordyceps-infected zombies, violence and a whole lot of pain — so much pain. You play as both Ellie from the original game, as well as the person she’s hunting, Abby. You’ll see grief and trauma from both of their perspectives and how those things can heighten our emotions like a funhouse mirror. It’s a heavy game that forces the air from your lungs and won’t let you breathe until the credits roll.

Only PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play this game starting Sept. 26.

Alan Wake 2

This sequel picks up years after the first game but Alan Wake 2 drops us back into the haunted world of the original. An FBI agent has been murdered by a cult in the town of Bright Falls, the town from the original Alan Wake game. Agents Saga Anderson and Alex Casey are sent to investigate. As you help these characters in their investigation, you’ll also assist the titular Alan Wake as he tries to write his way out of an alternate dimension. You’ll have to explore your environments, solve puzzles and keep enemies at bay in this mind-bending survival horror game. 

All PS Plus subscribers can access this game in October starting Oct. 7.

Goat Simulator 3

Despite what Game of Thrones might have you think, chaos is not a ladder. Chaos is a goat and your goal in this game is to cause as much havoc as you can while on four hooves. For the first time in the series, this game features a story mode where you attempt to rise through the ranks of the Illuminati. Otherwise, this entry maintains the goofy and absurd humor as well as the sandbox setting of past games, giving you free rein to do whatever you want.

All PS Plus subscribers can access this game in October starting Oct. 7.

Cocoon

Get ready to go on an adventure across worlds within worlds in this puzzle game. You play as an insect-like creature who wakes up in a barren wasteland. You soon find an orb that contains an entire world within it that you can dive into, explore and solve puzzles in. As you progress, you’ll find more orbs, and each one will help you unravel a cosmic mystery.

All PS Plus subscribers can access this game in October starting Oct. 7.

For more on PlayStation Plus, here’s what to know about the service and a rundown of PS Plus Extra and Premium games added in September. You can also check out the latest and upcoming games on Xbox Game Pass and Apple Arcade.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Verum E-SIM — https://esim.verum.im
World E-SIM — https://worldesim.me
USA E-SIM — https://usa.esim.verum.im
Euro E-SIM — https://euro.esim.verum.im
Canada E-SIM — https://canada.esim.verum.im
Balkan E-SIM — https://balkan.esim.verum.im
Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
