Sony announced three PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. Members can add them from October 6 through November 2, with platform availability varying by game.
Sony announced that F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 will be the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October. Subscribers can add the three games to their libraries from October 6 through November 2, though Sony says the lineup may differ by region.
F1 25, the official game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship, will be available for PS5. Its modes include Career and My Team 2.0, in which players run a Formula One team. Sony also highlighted a multiplayer mode in F1 World where players can race together as a squad against AI drivers.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 puts players in matches against monsters and rival Hunters as they pursue bosses, claim bounties and try to reach an extraction point. It can be played alone or with up to two teammates. Sony’s announcement did not specify a PlayStation platform for the game in the October lineup.
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 will be available on PS5 and PS4. Players build a team of four from collected characters and battle enemies in a voxel-style world. Sony says the game supports four-player online co-op and two-player local split-screen on both listed consoles.
Three Games Across Racing and Combat
The lineup gives PlayStation Plus members three different kinds of play: Formula One racing, an extraction shooter and cooperative action against giant enemies. F1 25 brings a current officially licensed championship game into the monthly selection, while the other two games emphasize team play and combat.
The platform split also matters to subscribers choosing where to play. Sony lists F1 25 for PS5 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 for both PS5 and PS4. Members should check their regional PlayStation Store listing for the full lineup and availability details, particularly for Hunt: Showdown 1896.
October Offer and September Deadline
The announcement was published on September 30. The October games become available on Tuesday, October 6, and remain claimable through Monday, November 2. Sony advises members to check the PlayStation Store on release day because monthly game lineups may vary by region.
Members also have until October 5 to add September’s games: Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life and Chained Echoes. Sony separately announced a limited-time set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day avatars through Sony Pictures Core, available to PlayStation Plus members at no extra cost in participating regions. That promotion is separate from the October Monthly Games.
Regional Listings and Game Access
Sony’s post says the monthly lineup may differ by region, so the exact titles or terms available to each subscriber should be checked in the local PlayStation Store. The announcement does not state Hunt: Showdown 1896’s platform in the lineup text. It also does not give additional details about any platform-specific restrictions or technical versions beyond the platforms explicitly listed for F1 25 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2.
The games are available to PlayStation Plus members during the stated window; Sony’s subscription terms include recurring fees until cancellation, with age restrictions and other terms applying. The announcement does not say whether a game added during the window remains playable after a membership ends.
Claim the Games by November 2
Subscribers can check their regional PlayStation Store on October 6 and add the October games before the offer closes on November 2. Those who still want September’s titles have until October 5 to add them. Sony has not announced the next monthly lineup in this post; a later PlayStation announcement would be needed for details about November’s games.
