PlayStation Plus New Free Game Was Banned For Being Too Violent

PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting three free games for the month of October. No matter if you're subscribed to PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, or PS Plus Premium, you will be able to download these three games between October 3 and November 6. And once downloaded they are yours to keep as long as you maintain an active subscription to PlayStation Plus. If you missed the announcement, these three games are: The Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22, and Weird West.

For those that don't know: Japan is one of the stricter rating boards in the world when it comes to violence and gore. While they are more lenient on sexual content, when it comes to violent content Japan is fairly strict in comparison to other major markets like The United States and Europe. In other words, this isn't the first game to be prevented from releasing in Japan for over-the-top violent content.
