PlayStation Plus October Games
Sony has confirmed 3 games for the PlayStation Plus October games lineup. The monthly titles will become available on Tuesday, October 6, and members can add them to their libraries until Monday, November 2.

The October selection covers racing, extraction shooting, and co-op action. Sony has also reminded players that the monthly lineup may differ by region, so members should check their local PlayStation Store when the games go live.
F1 25 Comes to PlayStation Plus
F1 25 is the official game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship and is the first title in the October lineup.
The game includes single-player modes such as Career and My Team 2.0. My Team 2.0 allows players to take control of a Formula 1 team and build their own racing experience.
F1 25 also features multiplayer content through F1 World. Sony highlighted a new multiplayer mode where players can team up with friends and compete against AI drivers.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 Joins the Lineup
Hunt: Showdown 1896 brings an extraction-shooter experience to the PlayStation Plus October games lineup.
Players enter dangerous environments while hunting monsters and competing against other Hunters. The objective involves tracking down bosses, defeating them, collecting their bounty, and successfully extracting.
The game supports solo play as well as teams of up to 3 players, giving PlayStation Plus members different ways to approach each match.
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is the third October title and is available on both PS5 and PS4.
Players can create a team of 4 characters from the soldiers they collect throughout the game. The roster includes characters from the mainline Earth Defense Force series and its spin-offs.
The game features redesigned voxel versions of familiar enemies alongside new enemies created specifically for this release. It also supports 4-player online co-op and 2-player local split-screen on PS5 and PS4.
September PlayStation Plus Games Leaving Soon
Players who have not yet claimed the September monthly games still have time to add them to their libraries.
Sony says Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life, and Chained Echoes will remain available to PlayStation Plus members until October 5.
Once the September window closes, players will no longer be able to add those monthly games through the current promotion.
PlayStation Plus October Extras
The October lineup also comes with additional PlayStation Plus benefits. Sony has announced limited-edition Spider-Man: Brand New Day avatars, which PlayStation Plus members can claim at no extra cost through Sony Pictures Core for a limited time.
PlayStation Plus members can also access several Halloween-themed HorrorFest packs. These include the Call of Duty: Warzone Horror Bundle, Hunt: Showdown 1896 Starter Pack, and Overwatch 2 Dragur Reinhardt + 5 Tier Skips Pack. Availability begins on different dates in October.
PlayStation Plus October Games Release Date
The PlayStation Plus October games will be available from October 6 to November 2, 2026.
Players should check the PlayStation Store in their region on October 6, as Sony notes that the monthly games lineup can vary by region.
For now, PlayStation Plus members can claim the September lineup before the October games replace it on October 6.
