PlayStation Plus October 2026 Free Games Lineup Officially Revealed
Sony's free PlayStation Plus Essential games for October 2026 have been announced, and include three wildly different games.
Sony has revealed the PlayStation Plus monthly games lineup for October 2026. This month's selection features three games: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2.
F1 25 is the latest installment in Codemasters' Formula 1 racing series. It has received positive reviews, with IGN awarding it an 8/10. The game is described as a broader and better package compared to the previous year's release, and it's considered the strongest in the series since F1 2020.
Next up is Hunt: Showdown 1896, a first-person extraction shooter developed by Crytek. Originally released as early access in 2018, the PS5 version includes a battle royale mode. The game involves fighting mythological monsters and, thankfully, players with no prior experience with the series can easily pick it up.
Lastly, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is available for both PS4 and PS5. This third-person shooter with local and online co-op puts players in the role of brothers from around the world who must unite to defend Earth against a new, unprecedented threat.
