PlayStation Plus’ latest three free games aren’t a hit amongst fans, quickly seeing the second-lowest turnout of the year.

October has been a bit of a mixed bag for PlayStation fans. Sony made two big reveals last week with the first being a brand-new model for the PlayStation 5, with the downside of it not coming with a vertical stand. It also revealed that PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will soon be able to cloud-stream a select number of games as part of their membership.

As for PlayStation Plus Extra and Essential subscribers, they received their next three free monthly games, as well as some spooky additions to the Extra game catalogue.

The three monthly games were Weird West, Farming Simulator 22, and The Callisto Project, with the latter being the only one fans believe to be worth trying. That being said, none of this month’s offerings have really impressed fans, and it’s been reflected through the latest PlayStation gameplay data.

It’s reported that interest in the latest PlayStation Plus games has fallen by 9.44% since last month, which included titles like Black Desert – Traveler Edition, Generation Zero and Saints Row (2022) which was incredibly popular amongst subscribers despite its poor reviews and launch reception.

While The Callisto Project was a decent inclusion, especially for October which also increases player interest in horror games, it’s seemingly failed to pique fan interest, possibly due to the consensus it’s just an inferior version of Dead Space.

Luckily, this month’s Extra game catalogue line-up more than makes up for it in terms of quality and variety, and they’re all perfect choices to get into the Halloween spirit, consisting of titles like Alien Isolation, Dead Island Definitive Collection and Outlast 2.

So it’s swings and roundabouts I guess, hopefully, November’s PlayStation Plus line-up is better all-around so all subscribers have some good stuff to play.
