PS Plus October 2026 brings three games into PlayStation Plus Monthly Games: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. The lineup runs from Tuesday October 6 through Monday November 2, while members still have until Monday October 5 to add Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life, and Chained Echoes to their libraries.
F1 25 and F1 World
F1 25 is the official video game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship, and it arrives with single-player modes such as Career and My Team 2.0. It also includes a brand new multiplayer mode in F1 World, which gives the month’s racing pick a broader range than a straight single-player add-on.
That spread matters because it makes the three-game lineup less repetitive for members who claim every monthly drop. A racing game built around Career and My Team sits in a different lane from the other two picks, which helps the month cover solo play, competition, and co-op without leaning on one format.
Hunt: Showdown 1896
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is described as a new era of the extraction shooter, and it lets players fight alone or with friends. The game supports up to two teammates, so the October set gives members a smaller-team option rather than only a large-scale multiplayer release.
The practical detail for members is simple: this is the month’s most flexible pickup if you want to play in a duo or go solo. The Hunt: Showdown 1896 Starter Pack also becomes available on October 6, which adds a separate purchase option on the same day the monthly game enters the lineup.
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 rounds out the month with four-player online co-op on PS5 and PS4, plus two-player local split screen on PS5 and PS4. That makes it the most social of the three October titles, especially for households that still use one console and one screen.
PlayStation Plus members have until Monday October 5 to add Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life, and Chained Echoes before they drop out of the prior Monthly Games window. The overlap gives the October claim period a short transition, not a clean handoff, so anyone who wants both lineups needs to act before the earlier set disappears.
October 6 is the date that matters here: the new trio goes live, the Spider-Man: Brand New Day avatars land on Sony Pictures Core, and the month’s PlayStation Plus Exclusive Packs begin to roll in around the same window. For members, the move is straightforward — claim the September slate before Monday October 5, then switch to F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 as soon as Tuesday October 6 opens the new month.
