The PS Plus Essential October 2023 games are set to be revealed later this week, with the games releasing the following Tuesday.
PS Plus Essential is the original and cheapest version of the PlayStation subscription, with three titles being added to your account each month, which you can keep as long as you're subscribed. Last month the PS Plus price increase was announced alongside the September 2023 free games which included Saints Row, Generation Zero, and Black Desert – Traveller Edition.
While the lineup is yet to be officially announced, just like clockwork, PS Plus October 2023 leaks arrived earlier today, with Twitter leaker @Billbil_kun claiming that The Callisto Protocol and Farming Simulator 22 will be joining the free games lineup alongside a third – yet unknown – title alongside it. Based on The Callisto Protocol being a AAA release that's less than a year old, we can't imagine a huge title will take the third spot, but stranger things have happened.
PS Plus Essential October 2023 reveal time
The PS Plus Essential titles for each month are typically revealed on the final Wednesday of the month prior over on the PlayStation Blog (unless the first day of the month lands on a Wednesday – it'll be revealed then in that case). Based on that knowledge, the PS Plus Essential October 2023 free games will be announced tomorrow, Wednesday, September 27 at 4.30pm BST / 11:30am EDT / 8:30am PDT.
PS Plus Essential games subsequently become available on the first Tuesday of every month, which means they'll be available to download on Tuesday, October 3 at 10am BST / 5am EDT / 2am PDT.

PS Plus Essential games are only available until the following month's lineup is drops, so you'll have until Tuesday, November 7 to redeem them. On that note, if you've yet to add the PS Plus Essential September 2023 games to your library, make sure you do so before Tuesday, October 3. You don't need to download them to your console either; just add them to your library and you can download them whenever you like, so long as your PS Plus subscription is active.
PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers who are keen to find out which games will be added this month will have to wait another couple of weeks, with the reveal coming after the release of the free PS Essential games. That means the Extra and Premium games will be announced on Wednesday, October 11, before releasing the following Tuesday, October 17..
