The latest PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for October 2026 are F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. Resident Evil 3, Marvel’s Midnight Suns and NBA 2K24 were March 2024 Game Catalog additions—not the current monthly lineup.
What are the latest PS Plus free games?
Sony’s October 2026 Monthly Games announcement names three games, available to PlayStation Plus members from October 6 through November 2, 2026. Sony says the lineup may differ by region, so check the PlayStation Store for your region to confirm availability.
| Game | What to expect |
|---|---|
| F1 25 | Racing; Sony describes it as the official game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. |
| Hunt: Showdown 1896 | A game built around fighting monsters and other players. |
| Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 | An EDF action game featuring voxel-style enemies. |
The descriptions above follow Sony’s October announcement; they are not a ranking or a review.
Why are Resident Evil 3, Midnight Suns and NBA 2K24 being mentioned?
Those three titles were part of Sony’s March 2024 Game Catalog additions, which began arriving on March 19, 2024. That announcement also said the catalog lineup could vary by region.

“Monthly Games” and “Game Catalog” are distinct parts of the PS Plus offering. The March 2024 announcement establishes that those games joined the catalog then; it does not establish that they remain available in October 2026. Catalog availability changes, so check the current PlayStation Store listing rather than treating an old addition as a current offer.
How to check which games you can access
- Open the PlayStation Store for your region and look for the October 2026 PS Plus Monthly Games.
- Check each game’s listing for platform and availability details, and confirm that the offer is active within the October 6–November 2 window.
- Make sure your PlayStation Plus membership is active. Sony describes the Monthly Games as a member benefit.
“Free” in this context means access through an eligible PlayStation Plus membership, not an unrestricted giveaway. The membership and regional Store listing determine whether a particular game is available to you.
