November 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games have been confirmed

November 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games have seemingly been revealed ahead of an official announcement.

Dealabs user billbil-kun, who has been accurately leaking the PlayStation Plus line-ups almost every month since September 2021, has published what they claim to be the two headline additions to the subscription service next month.

October’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles are The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 2022 and Weird West.

Essential is the entry-level PlayStation Plus membership tier, which offers subscribers access to a few ‘free’ games every month.

The service’s more expensive Extra and Premium tiers, which were introduced last summer, offer subscribers access to the Game Catalogue, a library of up to 400 downloadable PS4 and PS5 games, as well as Ubisoft+ Classics, a curated selection of titles from the Assassin’s Creed publisher.

Features reserved for Premium subscribers include game trials, cloud streaming, and access to the Classics Catalogue, which includes hundreds of games from the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and PSP.

Sony increased PlayStation Plus subscription prices by up to 35% in August.

The move saw the cost of 12-month subscription plans for the service’s Essential, Extra and Premium tiers rise by $20-$40 / £10-£20 / €12-€32 depending on the chosen membership plan.
