Sony has officially revealed the free PlayStation Plus games that subscribers can claim in October 2023. Each month, PlayStation Plus subscribers have three free games to claim across PS4 and PS5. The free games are available to all PS Plus subscribers regardless of tier, so anyone signed up for PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, or PS Plus Premium can claim the games for their digital libraries.
Unlike the PS Plus Extra and Premium games, the monthly free PS Plus games can be accessed as long as one claims them within their availability window and stay subscribed to the service. This gives them considerable value compared to the rotating library of games that are available through PS Plus Extra and Premium.
As has been consistently happening every month, the free PS Plus games for October 2023 leaked online earlier this week, revealing The Callisto Protocol and Farming Simulator 22 for the lineup. The third free PS Plus game was not mentioned in the leak, but it has now been revealed as Weird West. PS Plus subscribers can claim the free games beginning Tuesday, October 3, and they have until November 6 to add them to their library. All three games have native PS4 and PS5 versions available, so PS Plus subscribers can snag them all even if they haven't upgraded to Sony's newest console yet.

- Farming Simulator 22
- The Callisto Protocol\
- Weird West
All three games seem like appropriate titles for the fall season. The Callisto Protocol is a survival-horror game that should be perfect to play on Halloween. The Callisto Protocol will be joining the free PS Plus lineup not even a year after its initial release, so it's a big get for the service, even if it did earn somewhat mixed reviews at launch. Farming Simulator 22 will be available alongside the fall harvest, while Weird West's supernatural themes also make it a solid pick to play on Halloween. While PS Plus subscribers wait for the chance to claim The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West, they still have some time to claim the free PS Plus games for September 2023 if they haven't already.
The free PS Plus games for September 2023 are Black Desert: Traveler Edition, Generation Zero, and the Saints Row reboot. Notably, many PS Plus subscribers were not happy with the September 2023 free games lineup. Luckily, it seems PS Plus subscribers are more positive about the free PS Plus games for October 2023 so far.
