F1 25 on October PS Plus: claim the game, then check the season pack
The PS5 monthly listing is F1 25. A newer season pack is separate content unless your exact store entitlement explicitly includes it.
In brief
Sony’s October 2026 monthly lineup lists F1 25 for PS5, with the announced claim period from October 6 to November 2. Before downloading, distinguish the base game from the separately offered 2026 Season Pack.
A subscription entitlement should be checked against the actual product, not the latest season’s promotional page.
Check what you just claimed
Read the product name and library entitlement after adding the monthly game. If the store offers the 2026 Season Pack nearby, do not treat its presence as proof that it was included. Compare the contents and price of that exact add-on.
Why a season-specific guide may differ
EA states that the 2026 Season Pack requires the base game and updates, and its season content requires a new save. A guide for its new car systems can therefore describe features absent from a base-game-only installation. Match the guide to the content you actually own.
Begin with a manageable setup
Use supported controller settings and assists appropriate to your experience. Change one setting at a time so you can tell whether control improved. Do not buy a wheel or an add-on solely because a setup guide assumes it; first identify the problem in your current play session.
Before you act
Regional lineups can differ and access depends on the relevant subscription. Do not assume the monthly claim includes separately sold season content or that a subscription unlocks every DLC.
What to do next
- Open the monthly-game product in the account’s PlayStation Store region.
- Confirm the included edition and complete the eligible library claim.
- Check any season pack separately before following its setup guide or buying it.
