Sony announced three PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. Members can add them from October 6 through November 2, with availability varying by region.
Sony announced that F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 will be the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October. PlayStation Plus members can add the three titles to their libraries from Tuesday, October 6, through Monday, November 2, according to the PlayStation Blog announcement.
The lineup covers three different styles of play. F1 25, available for PS5, is the official game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. Its listed modes include Career and My Team 2.0, where players manage an F1 team, as well as online play and a new F1 World multiplayer mode in which friends race together as a squad against AI drivers.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is an extraction shooter set in a world of monsters and competing hunters. Players can go alone or bring up to two teammates while they pursue bosses, claim bounties and try to reach an extraction point. The PlayStation Blog describes the game as an unforgiving experience, but that characterization is promotional language from the publisher.
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 will be available on PS5 and PS4. Players assemble a team of four from collected characters and fight voxel-style enemies, including returning foes and enemies new to this release. The game supports online co-op for four players and local split-screen for two on PS5 and PS4, according to Sony’s announcement.
Three Genres in October’s Lineup
The monthly selection gives subscribers access to a racing game, an extraction shooter and a cooperative action game during the same claim window. The lineup also spans both current and previous PlayStation consoles: F1 25 is listed for PS5, while World Brothers 2 supports PS5 and PS4; the announcement does not specify a platform in the supplied details for Hunt: Showdown 1896.
For members, the practical deadline is November 2. Adding a monthly game during its availability period places it in the member’s library, subject to the PlayStation Plus terms and an active subscription. The announcement does not state that these games will remain accessible without an eligible membership.
October’s Claim Window and Extras
The October games replace the September monthly selection. Sony says members have until Monday, October 5, to add Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life and Chained Echoes to their libraries. That date is the final day for the September games, one day before the October lineup becomes available.
Sony also announced separate seasonal offers. PlayStation Plus members can claim limited-edition Spider-Man: Brand New Day avatars through Sony Pictures Core beginning October 6; the promotion ends October 20, 2026, and is available only in regions where the app is offered. The company listed horror-themed game packs too, including a Call of Duty: Warzone bundle on October 1, a Hunt: Showdown 1896 Starter Pack on October 6, and an Overwatch 2 pack on October 7. These are separate from the three monthly games, and the listed packs require ownership of the base game.
“Together, these three games form the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October.”
