Highlights
Free PlayStation Plus games for October 2023 include The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West, providing a variety of genres for subscribers to enjoy.
The Callisto Protocol, a survival-horror game, is a perfect pick for Halloween and a noteworthy inclusion in the collection of free games.
Subscribers are given until November 6th to acquire the October games, and they still have a chance to obtain the complimentary games from September, despite their mixed reviews.
Sony has officially announced the lineup of free PlayStation Plus games for October 2023. Each month, PlayStation Plus subscribers are eligible to acquire three free games on both PS4 and PS5. These games are accessible to all PS Plus subscribers, regardless of their membership tier. Whether subscribed to PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, or PS Plus Premium, users can claim these games and add them to their digital libraries.
Unlike the PS Plus Extra and Premium games, the monthly free PS Plus games remain accessible as long as they are claimed within the designated time frame and the user maintains an active subscription. This adds significant value to the offerings, in contrast to the rotating library of games available through PS Plus Extra and Premium.
As per the usual trend, the October 2023 free PS Plus games discreetly surfaced online earlier this week, revealing The Callisto Protocol and Farming Simulator 22 as part of the lineup. Although the leak did not mention the third free PS Plus game, it has now been unveiled as Weird West. Commencing on Tuesday, October 3, PS Plus subscribers can avail themselves of the opportunity to claim these complimentary games, with the deadline to add them to their library set for November 6. It's worth noting that all three games are accessible in both native PS4 and PS5 versions, ensuring that PS Plus subscribers can acquire them all, regardless of whether they have upgraded to Sony's latest console or not.

All three games are perfect for the fall season. The survival-horror game, The Callisto Protocol, is especially fitting to play on Halloween. Despite receiving mixed reviews upon its initial release, The Callisto Protocol will be joining the free PS Plus lineup less than a year later, making it a valuable addition to the service. Farming Simulator 22 aligns well with the fall harvest, and the supernatural themes in Weird West make it an excellent choice for Halloween. While waiting for the opportunity to claim The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West, PS Plus subscribers still have time to claim the free PS Plus games for September 2023 if they haven't already.
The free PS Plus games for September 2023 include Black Desert: Traveler Edition, Generation Zero, and the Saints Row reboot. Notably, many PS Plus subscribers expressed dissatisfaction with the September 2023 free games lineup. Fortunately, early feedback suggests a more positive reception to the free PS Plus games for October 2023.
