Snackgirls react
Red: I want a turn in the F1 team owner’s seat. Running my own team sounds like a fun way to let my competitive streak loose.
Nea: I’d like to try Hunt solo. I’m curious how it feels to carry a bounty when other hunters are still out there.
Check your local Store before planning your downloads
The announced claim window runs through November 2, 2026. Regional lineups may differ, so check your local PlayStation Store on October 6 to see which games are available to you.
These games are included for members of PlayStation Plus, a paid, recurring subscription subject to terms and age restrictions.
From the F1 owner’s seat to a bounty extraction
F1 25 includes Career mode and My Team 2.0, which puts you in the role of an F1 team owner. F1 World also offers squad racing against AI drivers.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 lets you play solo or with up to two teammates. You track bosses and extract with a bounty while competing with other hunters, making the journey out part of the challenge.
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 lets you assemble a squad of four collected teammates. On both PS5 and PS4, it supports four-player online co-op and two-player local split screen.
Add September’s games by October 5
Before the October claim window opens, members can still add September’s Sniper Elite: Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Wobbly Life and Chained Echoes. October 5 is the last day to add those four games.
