/
Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially revealed that the Monthly Games offering for PlayStation Plus subscribers on October 2023 will be 2022’s The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and 2022’s Weird West.
Leaker billbil-kun was right on the money once again with the leaked information as he reported a day before the official announcement of two of the three games for October — The Callisto Protocol and Farming Simulator 2022.
The game that wasn’t leaked, Weird West, is a great addition to an already enticing lineup for the service. The action RPG is a nice mix of Wild West and dark fantasy developed by WolfEye Studios.
Here’s a quick description of each game provided by PlayStation.
The Callisto Protocol | PS5, PS4
In this narrative-driven, third-person survival horror set 300 years in the future, take on the role of Jacob Lee – a victim of fate thrown into Black Iron Prison, a maximum-security penitentiary located on Jupiter’s moon, Callisto. When inmates begin to transform into monstrous creatures, the prison is thrown into chaos. To survive, Jacob must battle his way to safety to escape Black Iron Prison, while uncovering the dark and disturbing secrets buried beneath the surface of Callisto. Using a unique blend of shooting and close-quarters combat, Jacob will need to adapt his tactics to combat the rapidly evolving creatures while scavenging to unlock new weapons, gear, and abilities to outrun the growing threat and escape the horrors of Jupiter’s Dead Moon.
Farming Simulator 22 | PS5, PS4

Weird West | PS5, PS4
Discover a dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West where lawmen and gunslingers share the frontier with fantastical creatures, each playing with their own rules and their own peculiar motives in this isometric action RPG. The game supports different styles of play in a simulated sandbox world where characters, factions, and even places react to a player’s decisions, and players are faced with brutal choices and consequences that can’t be undone – including death. Discover the world through origin stories of different characters, moving from one character’s journey to the next until all converge in a final chapter.
All of these games will be available to Essential, Extra, and Premium/Deluxe PlayStation Plus subscribers starting October 3. This also means that subscribers have until October 2 to add September’s Monthly Games to their account.
The PlayStation Plus service has grown in size and in price since the start of September, the price for the 12-month subscription option was increased by roughly 35% for all tiers of the service. For those with an existing 12-month or more plan with the service, the price won’t take effect but expect a higher price once you renew.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.
