  "account": "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.\n\nF1 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.\n\nNext 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.\n\nLastly, 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.",
