PlayStation has revealed this month’s batch of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. All PS Plus members will be able to claim a trio of freebies starting October 6–F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. If you haven’t claimed September’s PlayStation Plus free games yet, make sure to do so before next Tuesday.
The Formula One games from Codemasters have been an annual treat for racing game fans, and F1 25 is no different. Building on previous releases, the game includes all the official teams and drivers from the 2025 F1 season, a robust career mode, My Team 2.0 in single-player, and the multiplayer mode, F1 World, which pits players against a squad of AI drivers.
If you haven’t played it yet, Hunt: Showdown 1896 is an unforgiving extraction shooter in which players must track down bloodthirsty monsters. You’re not only racing against the clock, but also your fellow hunters as you track down dangerous prey, fight to survive, and use every tool at your disposal to successfully escape the deadly swamps.
Finally, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 once again sees the planet under attack by gigantic, blocky enemies. A crossover featuring heroes from across the EDF franchise, you’ll have to assemble a team to take down new threats and save the day.
With Halloween a few weeks away, PlayStation Plus subscribers can also claim free horror-themed in-game item bundles for a variety of games, like Call of Duty: Warzone and Overwatch. These will roll out throughout the month.
