Humble Choice October 2025: Worth It or Skip It? Full Lineup and Final Verdict
Humble Choice is lining up a curated October 2025 bundle packed with blockbuster AAA hits and standout indies—here’s what to know before you subscribe and what to expect in the lineup.
Quick heads-up for deal hunters: Humble Choice is stacking its October 2025 lineup with a mix of big swings and left-field picks. If you dabble in PC games between shows, this month is one of those why-not moments.
What Humble Choice is offering this month
Humble Choice is the monthly subscription where Humble hands you a curated set of PC games and you keep the keys forever. October 2025 leans hard on variety: a couple of splashy titles, a few indies, and a couple of oddballs that might be your new favorite time sink.
The lineup and current Steam prices
- Atomic Heart (Focus Entertainment) - listed at $59.99 on Steam, though the bundle post also cites a $17.99 Steam price - Alternate-history FPS set in a retro-future Soviet setting. You play Major Sergey, whose missing memories are part of the mystery. If you skipped it at launch, this is probably the moment.
- V Rising (Stunlock Studios) - $34.99 - Action RPG where you wake up as a very hungry vampire and grind your way back to power, building, crafting, and raiding as you go.
- System Shock (Nightdive Studios) - $36.38 - Slick remake of the classic cyberpunk immersive sim. You are a hacker stuck on a space station in 2072, and SHODAN is not your friend.
- Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town (XSEED Games) - $39.99 - Cozy-life farming sim comfort food. Build up your homestead, befriend the locals, and fall into the loop in the best way.
- Cryptmaster (Akupara Games) - $24.99 - Strange, word-driven dungeon crawler where your vocabulary is basically your moveset. Weird in a good way.
- Shogun Showdown (Goblinz Publishing) - $14.99 - Turn-based tactics with roguelike and deck-building DNA. Tight, snappy, repeatable runs.
- Hotel Renovator (Focus Entertainment) - $24.99 - First-person sim about gutting and glam-ing hotel rooms until they look five-star. Yes, there is power-washing energy here.
- Caravan SandWitch (Dear Villagers) - $24.99 - Narrative exploration with a slower pulse, built around a personal journey and a world worth poking at.
Price, math, and one eyebrow-raiser
The Humble Choice subscription is $14.99 for the month. If you bought these eight games individually at the prices listed above, the total would be $261.31. So you are looking at roughly a massive discount by bundling them through Humble this month. The original pitch calls it about 90 percent off; if you want to be fussy about numbers, $14.99 vs $261.31 is even steeper than that.
One thing to flag: the post touts Atomic Heart at $17.99 on Steam, but also lists it at $59.99 in the price breakdown. That smells like sale price versus standard list price. The same post also claims Atomic Heart + V Rising + System Shock would run you $47.86 together. Using the listed prices, that trio is $131.36, and even swapping in the $17.99 sale for Atomic Heart gets you $89.36. So, expect some fuzzy math in the promo copy, but the overall value case still stands.
So, is October worth it?
Short answer: yeah. Even if only two or three of these stick for you, $14.99 for Atomic Heart, V Rising, and System Shock alone is a strong pull, and the rest ranges from cozy to quirky to dangerously time-consuming. If any one game on that list was already in your cart, the bundle is the better play this month.
