As we usher in October, PlayStation Plus is treating its members to another delectable assortment of games, available from Tuesday, October 3, until Monday, November 6.

This month, the titles on offer — The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West — promise a range of experiences, from nerve-wracking survival horror to the pastoral peace of digital farming.

Here, we take an in-depth look at each title to give you a clearer idea of what awaits you.

The Callisto Protocol: Survival Horror Reaches New Heights

Available on both PS5 and PS4, The Callisto Protocol takes players 300 years into the future to the moon of Jupiter, Callisto.

You assume the role of Jacob Lee, an unfortunate inmate in Black Iron Prison. When prisoners suddenly mutate into horrific creatures, the facility descends into chaos.

The game brilliantly marries third-person shooting with close-quarters combat.
Scavenging becomes just as important as fighting, as you must find new weapons, gear, and abilities to stand a chance against the ever-evolving threats.

With its compelling narrative and gruesome enemies, The Callisto Protocol promises a spine-chilling gaming experience that also delves deep into disturbing secrets hidden beneath Callisto’s icy surface.

Farming Simulator 22: Embrace the Agrarian Lifestyle

Farming Simulator 22, compatible with both PS5 and PS4, offers an expansive look into the life of a modern farmer.

The game features three rich, geographically distinct environments — from the United States to Europe.
Players have the liberty to explore various farming operations, focusing not just on agriculture but also on animal husbandry and forestry.

New to this edition are seasonal cycles, which bring an additional layer of realism to your farming activities.

Boasting over 400 machines and tools from real-life brands like John Deere and New Holland, the game offers an immersive and authentic farming experience.

The gameplay is further enriched by new categories of machines and crops, as well as the possibility of multiplayer farming, adding a social element to this robust simulator.

Weird West: A Gritty Fantasy Western Experience

Weird West is another gem available for both PS5 and PS4. The game is an isometric action RPG set in a Wild West landscape where the frontier isn’t just home to outlaws and gunslingers but also to fantastical creatures.
Developed as a “sandbox simulation,” Weird West reacts dynamically to player choices.

The game offers multiple origin stories for different characters, each contributing to the grand narrative.

Be prepared to face tough decisions, as the choices you make have irreversible consequences, including the ultimate price — death.

Last Call for September’s Offerings

Just a reminder: PlayStation Plus members have until October 2 to claim last month’s games, which include Saints Row, Black Desert – Traveler Edition, and Generation Zero.

So whether you’re into the horrors of space, the challenges of farming, or the fantasy of the Wild West, October’s PlayStation Plus lineup has something for everyone.

Make sure to mark your calendars and get ready for a month of incredible gaming.
