PlayStation announced which games are coming to PS Plus in October, and as one might expect, one of them is a horror game: The Callisto Protocol. The other two games, Farming Simulator 22 and Weird West, don’t necessarily fit the spooky times, but all three games launch on PlayStation Plus today. This is the second batch of games to be added to the service following last month’s price increase.

The world is a little borked in Wizard with a Gun, thanks to the forces of Chaos. Its remnants are known as The Shatter, and players must traverse it to survive. A new Gunmancer’s Diary video is available, showcasing some of the areas in The Shatter and the threats you’ll face. Check it out below.

Finally, Truck Driver: The American Dream is here to bring us the one thing that American Truck Simulator was missing: a robust story campaign filled with human drama.

PlayStation Plus' monthly free games for October 2023 have been announced. The three titles will be available to members of PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/ Premium plans, starting October 3. PS Plus members can sneak their way through the horrifying confines of a gory space prison in The Callisto Protocol, build out large-scale prosperous lands in Farming Simulator 22, and dive into the world of Weird West, which throws gunslingers on an unforgiving land teeming with dark fantastical creatures. These games can be added to your PS4 and PS5 games library until November 6, after which you'll need to hold on to your PS Plus subscription for continued access.
