AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Sony announced the PS Plus free games for October 2026, featuring F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 available from October 6 to November 2.
Sony has officially pulled back the curtain on the PlayStation Plus monthly games for October 2026. As reported by Game Rant, subscribers across the Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers can claim three distinct titles starting October 6. The heavy hitter of the month is F1 25, delivering high-speed racing and career mode challenges for PS5 owners. Joining the lineup is Crytek's intense PvPvE extraction shooter Hunt: Showdown 1896, which arrives right as its Blood Testament Chapter 2 event kicks off. Rounding out the trio is Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2, offering chaotic voxel-based alien battles for both PS4 and PS5 players.
Altogether, this month brings a combined retail value of $150 in games to the subscription tier. The seasonal timing for Hunt: Showdown 1896 fits right into the October horror vibe, while the inclusion of multiplayer and co-op options gives friend groups plenty of weekend content. Alongside the games, subscribers can grab exclusive extras like Spider-Man: Brand New Day avatars and themed HorrorFest packs for titles like Overwatch and Call of Duty: Warzone.
Players have until November 2 to add these three titles to their digital library and keep them active as long as their subscription remains live. Anyone still hoping to claim the September 2026 offerings needs to act fast before they rotate out on October 5. It is also a good reminder to check which titles are leaving the catalog this month, balancing out the fresh additions coming to the platform.
