October is almost upon us, which means PS Plus Essential tier subscribers will have a new short-list of free games to try out, and as usual, some of the games have leaked ahead of time. These leaks come courtesy of Billbil-kun writing on Dealabs, who has a pretty much perfect record when it comes to revealing PS Plus titles. In October players can look forward sci-fi horror game The Callisto Protocol and the oddly-popular Farming Simulator 22. There should also be a third title, but our leaker has not revealed that, and it’s likely The Callisto Protocol is October’s highest-profile PS Plus Essential title.
Here’s a bit more detail on the upcoming PS Plus Essential titles…
The Callisto Protocol (PS4, PS5)
From Wccftech’s review – “While an incredible looker in screenshots and death scenes, The Callisto Protocol suffers from a lack of intriguing content. The horror elements stand out as reason alone to play Striking Distance’s debut horror game, but you might want to find yourself getting thrown back into Black Iron Prison rather than see the journey through to the end.”
Farming Simulator 22 (PS4, PS5)
“Take on the challenging role of a modern farmer! Agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry offer a huge variety of farming activities while you face the challenges of the four seasons, especially when the cold of winter sets in. Creatively build your own farm and extend your farming operations with complex production chains – forming an agricultural empire! Even run your farm together with friends and enjoy cross-platform multiplayer together.”
Sony now offers three tiers of PS Plus – Essential, Extra, and Premium. You can explore the games available via each tier and sign up here.
Assuming the leakers have come through again (and there’s no reason to think they haven’t) what do you think about October’s PS Plus Essential lineup?
