PlayStation Plus Monthly Games For October 2026 Revealed

PlayStation Plus adds F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 as its Monthly Games for October 2026

Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup for October 2026, with subscribers able to race for the podium in F1 25, hunt monsters in Hunt: Showdown 1896, and battle through an invasion in Earth Defence Force: World Brothers 2.

All three games will be available for PlayStation Plus members from October 6 until November 2.


F1 25 (PS5)

Leave your mark on the world of racing in F1 25, the official video game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Players can jump into single-player experiences including Career and My Team 2.0, taking control as the owner of a Formula 1 team and creating their own F1 story. Online multiplayer also returns, including a mode in F1 World where players can team up with friends and race as a squad against AI drivers.

Hunt: Showdown 1896 (PS5)

Hunt: Showdown 1896 is an unforgiving extraction shooter where twisted monsters aren’t the only threat standing between you and your bounty.

Players can venture into its corrupted world alone or alongside up to two teammates, hunting down terrifying bosses while competing against other Hunters attempting to do exactly the same. Track your target, eliminate it, claim the bounty and survive long enough to successfully extract.

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 (PS5, PS4)

The square Earth is once again under attack in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2, bringing together soldiers and enemies from throughout the EDF franchise in voxel form.

Rescue teammates scattered around the world and build a squad of four characters suited to your preferred playstyle before heading into battle against enormous waves of enemies. The game includes soldiers from both the mainline EDF games and spin-offs, alongside returning and new enemies.

Four-player online co-op is supported, alongside two-player local split-screen on PS5 and PS4.

PlayStation Plus HorrorFest Packs

PlayStation Plus members can also claim several horror-themed in-game packs throughout October as part of PlayStation’s Halloween celebrations. These include the Call of Duty: Warzone Horror Bundle, the Hunt: Showdown 1896Starter Pack and the Overwatch 2 Dragur Reinhardt + 5 Tier Skips Pack.
