According to TheGamer, Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus content for October. In addition to the regular monthly free game updates, the company has prepared several horror-themed game DLC bundles for subscribers to coincide with the Halloween season, available for claim in staggered releases.
On October 1, you can claim the horror-themed bundle for "Call of Duty: Warzone." On October 6, the starter pack for "Hunt: Showdown 1896"—one of October's free games—will go live. On October 7, an exclusive bundle for "Overwatch 2" will be released, featuring Reinhardt's Dracul skin and five Battle Pass tier skips. All PlayStation Plus subscribers can access these limited-time benefits without any additional cost.
This October's free game lineup includes "F1 25," "Hunt: Showdown 1896," and "Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2." Subscribers can add these titles to their game libraries during the corresponding periods.
"F1 25," set against the backdrop of the 2025 Formula One World Championship, expands its Career Mode with My Team 2.0 and introduces squad-based multiplayer in F1 World. "Hunt: Showdown 1896" embraces the Halloween spirit, with its zombie-infested scenes, monsters, and rival hunters creating a core horror experience. Upon joining the membership lineup, subscribers can also claim a starter pack containing in-game items. "Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2" presents the series' enemies and chaotic battles in a blocky art style, supporting four-player squads and cooperative play.
Beyond the monthly games, members can claim the horror-themed bundle for "Call of Duty: Warzone" starting October 1, and obtain the "Overwatch 2" bundle featuring Reinhardt's Draugr skin and a five-tier Battle Pass skip on October 7. Sony Pictures Core will offer a limited-edition "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" avatar on October 6, free for PlayStation Plus members; non-members must purchase the film through the app to unlock it. Members who have not yet claimed September's monthly games must add them to their libraries by October 5. This card provides practical information on claim dates, applicable platforms, and conditions for accessing additional content.
