PlayStation Plus Essential: Is This The Great Quality Sony Promised?

After Sony’s rather cheeky announcement a month ago that it would be increasing the subscription price of all three PlayStation Plus tiers, it’s fair to ask: will we get better quality games for our money?

Sony hasn’t made a separate post about their charging more for PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium subscriptions from September 6. Instead, they quietly tucked this news under the announcement of the PlayStation Plus Essential games for September without any reference to it. Add to that the fact that Sony probably didn’t officially disclose how many subscribers they have in their last quarterly report (April-June) for this very reason, and seeing this move, it’s almost certain that they won’t disclose anything about it from now on…

Sony’s struggle with PlayStation Plus compounds this situation, leaks almost every other month. Still, this time, it’s a bit of a disaster because although we’ve already reported that on the French website Dealabs, billbil-kun has announced what’s included in the October games, instead of a complete list, we only got information on two games instead of three. Either Jim Ryan’s company was able to keep one of them secret, or Sony couldn’t decide until the last minute what to throw at all PlayStation Plus subscribers who haven’t decided to unsubscribe yet…

In any case, we summarize. October’s headline title is The Callisto Protocol (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4), and Sony seems to have a knack for idiotic timing. It dropped Saints Row after Volition closed in September, and now Glen Schofield (Dead Space) is leaving Striking Distance. The second game is a niche game, as Farming Simulator 22 (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4) does not appeal to a larger audience. The third non-leaked game is Weird West (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4).

They will be available from October 3 to November 6. In the meantime, there are still a few days to catch up on the September trio: the Saints Row reboot (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4), Black Desert – Traveler Edition (PlayStation 4), and Generation Zero (PlayStation 4).
