Sony has confirmed October’s PlayStation Plus Essential games

Sony has announced October 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games.

Confirming a recent leak, next month’s PlayStation Plus titles will include The Callisto Protocol (PS5, PS4) and Farming Simulator 22 (PS5, PS4).

They’ll be joined by action RPG and immersive sim Weird West (PS5, PS4), the debut title from WolfEye Studios, which was formed in 2019 by the creative director and executive producer of Dishonored.

PlayStation Plus members will be able to claim the games from October 3 until November 6.

Essential is the entry-level PlayStation Plus membership tier, which offers subscribers access to a few ‘free’ games every month.

September’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles are Saints Row (PS5, PS4), Black Desert – Traveler Edition (PS4) and Generation Zero (PS4). They’re available for PlayStation Plus members to claim until October 2.

The service’s more expensive Extra and Premium tiers, which were introduced last summer, offer subscribers access to the Game Catalogue, a library of up to 400 downloadable PS4 and PS5 games, as well as Ubisoft+ Classics, a curated selection of titles from the Assassin’s Creed publisher.

Features reserved for Premium subscribers include game trials, cloud streaming, and access to the Classics Catalogue, which includes hundreds of games from the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and PSP.

Sony increased PlayStation Plus subscription prices by up to 35% earlier this month.

The move saw the cost of 12-month subscription plans for the service’s Essential, Extra and Premium tiers rise by $20-$40 / £10-£20 / €12-€32 depending on the chosen membership plan.

“This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service,” said Adam Michel, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s director of content acquisition and operations.

For existing 12-month members, the price increases won’t take effect until after their next renewal date that takes place on or after November 6, unless they make subscription changes like upgrades or downgrades in the meantime.
