PlayStation Plus October 2026: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and EDF World Brothers 2

The games will be available to PlayStation Plus members from October 6, 2026. The claim period runs through November 2, 2026.

PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Premium members can add the three titles to their library during that window. The line-up includes two PS5 games and one title that will launch on both PS4 and PS5.

What happened

Sony has revealed the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October 2026. The selection includes F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2, according to the September 30, 2026 announcement. That means Sony is once again lining up three games for subscribers to claim as part of their monthly selection.

The three titles will be added to the subscriber offering on October 6, 2026. According to the provided sources, PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Premium members can claim the games through November 2, 2026. That gives the October selection a claim window of nearly four weeks.

In terms of platforms, the line-up includes two PS5 titles and one game that will be available on both PS4 and PS5. F1 25 and Hunt: Showdown 1896 are PS5 games, while Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is playable on PS4 and PS5. That leaves the month’s selection split across three platform combinations, without a PS4-only title.

One of the sources also cites a combined retail value of $150 for the three games. It lists individual prices of $69.99 for F1 25, $29.99 for Hunt: Showdown 1896 and $49.99 for Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. Those figures are presented in the source as both individual prices and a total, but the supplied information does not make clear whether the $150 figure is an official Sony value or a redactional sum.

The October selection is therefore built around three specific releases that all become available on the same date. The sources do not mention regional differences in availability and do not indicate that the line-up varies by country.

Background

PlayStation Plus offers a fixed set of games each month that subscribers can add to their library within a limited period. For October 2026, that means three titles, with a mix of PS5-only releases and one game that also appears on PS4. The selection follows Sony’s usual monthly rhythm, with the new line-up going live at the start of the month.

This month’s line-up includes F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. The sources also mention the listed prices of $69.99, $29.99 and $49.99, which adds up to $150. In the supplied information, that total is explicitly attributed to one source, so it should be treated as a source-specific figure rather than a separately confirmed Sony statement.

F1 25 and Hunt: Showdown 1896 are both described in the sources as PS5 games. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is the only title in this selection that also appears on PS4. That means the October line-up consists of two games available only on the current-generation PlayStation console and one game with support for both PS4 and PS5.

The claim period runs from October 6, 2026, through November 2, 2026. That gives PlayStation Plus members a fixed window to add the games before the monthly selection is replaced by the next batch of titles. The sources provided for fact-checking do not mention extra content, regional exceptions or additional conditions beyond the listed subscription tiers.
