PlayStation Plus has become one of the biggest perks of owning a PlayStation console, giving subscribers a rotating selection of games to claim each month alongside online multiplayer, cloud saves, discounts, and other benefits. While the service has expanded considerably through its Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers, the monthly games offered to all subscribers remain one of its best features, especially when Sony uses the lineup to spotlight major releases, acclaimed indies, or overlooked titles worth revisiting.

That also means every new month brings plenty of speculation over what PlayStation owners will be able to add to their libraries next. With September drawing to a close, Sony has now officially revealed the next wave of PlayStation Plus monthly games arriving in October 2026. The new slate brings another varied selection for subscribers, giving players several fresh options to keep them busy throughout the month and heading into Halloween season.

PS Plus' October lineup is officially here, with the following games coming to the service on October 6:

• F1 25
• Hunt: Showdown 1896
• Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2

More to come.
