The PlayStation Network’s Instant Game Collection has been updated with the free games for October 2015, which includes titles like Super Meat Boy, Broken Age, Unmechanical: Extended, Chariot, Kung Fu Rabbit and KickBeat. These titles are free to PlayStation Plus subscribers.

Broken Age and Super Meat Boy are available for both PS4 and PS Vita thanks to Cross Buy support while Unmechanical: Extended, Kickbeat and Kung Fu Rabbit are supported on the PS4 and PS3. Chariot is only available for PS3 players it seems.

The PS Plus Edition of DriveClub, which was free, has been removed this week after its introduction in June. It’s likely that it could return but one would think that Sony would keep it on PSN for a much longer period of time, especially given how long it’s been delayed.

They’ve also announced some of the songs appearing in the game from artists such as Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Pendulum. Considering it’s rhythm game button inputs meets FreeFlow Fighting System, it certainly appears as though some hard hitting tracks will be well suited to the game.

There’s also a music analyzer tool for generating new tracks from gamers’ existing libraries.

Kickbeat will launch this Fall.

“KickBeat follows in the tradition of this type of music game,” said Neil Sorens, Creative Director of Zen Studios on the PS Blog.

“Although its beat-matching mechanic is not complex and will be familiar to fans of the music game genre, KickBeat does a couple things that make it different from anything else you’ve played… and with publishers afraid to do anything except sequels to dance games, what better time than now to give the genre a kick in the pants?”

The game will release this year and is a PS Vita exclusive. Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
