The next batch of monthly PlayStation Plus games has been revealed. Sony has confirmed that subscribers will be able to add three titles to their library from Tuesday, October 6th to Monday, November 2nd , at no extra cost for those with an active subscription to any of the service's tiers. The selection has not been affected by previous leaks and comes after several days of rumors about potential horror titles.
The trio consists of F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. Two of them will be playable exclusively on PS5, while the third will also be available on PS4. The games blend speed, extraction shooting, and cooperative gameplay with a blocky aesthetic, so there are options for different types of players.
F1 25: the official steering wheel is coming to PS5
F1 25 is Codemasters and EA's installment based on the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship . The game includes single-player modes such as Career and My Team 2.0, designed to create your own Formula 1 career, as well as online options. In F1 World mode, users can compete as a team against AI-controlled drivers.
One recurring detail in various reports is that F1 26 has not yet been released . The season's updates have been incorporated into the 2025 title through updates and additional content, making it the primary source of information for racing fans. However, on PlayStation Plus, it will only be available on PS5.
Hunt: Showdown 1896: Monsters, Rivals, and Extraction
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a Crytek extraction shooter with a blend of PvE and PvP. Players accept contracts, track dangerous creatures, and try to escape with their loot while other hunters are after the same thing. It can be played solo or in groups of up to three people, and every match punishes mistakes with severe consequences.
Its dark setting fits perfectly with the Halloween season, something Sony has taken advantage of by including themed content. In addition to the monthly game, PlayStation Plus members will be able to claim a Hunt: Showdown 1896 starter pack starting October 6.
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2: Voxel Cooperative
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 challenges players to save a block-built Earth from giant enemies. Players must rescue companions scattered across the globe, select four of them, and form a squad with soldiers from both the main series and its spin-offs. Voxel versions of familiar creatures and exclusive new foes also appear.
The cooperative approach is one of its biggest selling points: it allows online play for up to four players and local co-op for two people with split-screen. It will be available on both PS5 and PS4, making it the most cross-platform title of the lineup.
Dates, claims and last days for September
The three monthly games can be added to your library from October 6th to November 2nd . Once claimed, they will remain linked to your account as long as your PlayStation Plus subscription is active. As usual, Sony reminds you that the selection may vary by region and that it's advisable to check the PlayStation Store on launch day.
Before the new batch arrives, subscribers still have until Monday, October 5, to claim last month's games: Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life, and Chained Echoes. These will then be replaced with October's titles.
HorrorFest and Spider-Man: Brand New Day avatars
PlayStation Plus is also celebrating the spooky season with several free bundles. The Call of Duty: Warzone Horror Pack is available starting October 1; the aforementioned Hunt: Showdown 1896 Starter Pack arrives on October 6; and the Overwatch 2 Draugr-themed bundle, which includes five tier skips, can be claimed starting October 7. The base game is required to use the content in all cases.
Additionally, subscribers can get limited-edition Spider-Man: Brand New Day avatars from Sony Pictures Core. The promotion starts on October 6th, and PlayStation Plus members can claim them at no extra cost from the app; non-subscribers will have to purchase or rent the movie to get them. The offer ends on October 20th, and availability depends on Sony Pictures Core operating in the user's region, so in Spain, it's advisable to check if the promotion is active before claiming it.
Extra and Premium transactions
Meanwhile, the Extra and Premium plans continue to be updated with regular additions. Among the titles mentioned in recent weeks is Ball x Pit , a roguelite that has garnered attention from some members of the community. Sony typically expands both catalogs mid-month, so more additions are likely soon.
The latest PlayStation Plus lineup offers a diverse month: F1 25 for racing fans , Hunt: Showdown 1896 for those seeking competitive tension, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 for straightforward cooperative gameplay. In addition, there are Halloween packs, Spider-Man avatars, and the final stretch to claim September's games. Everything will be available on the indicated dates, provided the subscription remains active and the region doesn't affect the catalog.
