Sony’s October PlayStation Plus Monthly Games became available on October 6. The lineup pairs F1 25 and Hunt: Showdown 1896 on PS5 with Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 on both PS4 and PS5.

The claim window runs through November 2, according to Sony’s September 30 announcement. The selection can vary by region. Claimed monthly games require an active PlayStation Plus membership to play.

F1 25 includes career and team-management options. Hunt combines monster hunting with the risk of encounters against other players, while World Brothers 2 offers four-player online co-op and two-player local split-screen.

Subscribers should check the platform shown on each listing; only World Brothers 2 includes a PS4 version in this announced lineup.
