PS Plus November 2026 games: the full lineup

The announcement came in a PlayStation Blog post published on October 28, 2026 and written by Adam Michel, Senior Director of Content Acquisition & Operations at Sony Interactive Entertainment. The post describes all three titles as "playable from November 3." The same lineup and dates were reported by eXputer and Nerd's Chalk, which both list identical platforms and deadlines.

What each game offers

Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4)

Dead Island 2 is set in a zombie-overrun Los Angeles that the game calls "HELL-A." According to the PlayStation Blog, it is a role-playing game built around quests, eccentric survivors and close-quarters melee combat with a wide range of weapons. It can be played alone or in online co-op with up to three players.

Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered (PS5, PS4)

This collection bundles the so-called Darkness Trilogy: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. The blog post says players can use the original polygonal models or switch to the remastered graphics at any time, a feature that lets longtime fans compare the two looks mid-game.

Monster Train 2 (PS5)

Monster Train 2 is a single-player deckbuilding roguelite. Players lead clans of former angels and demons in a campaign to retake Heaven from the Titans, moving through Hell, Heaven and the Abyss. Sony highlights five new clans, each with its own strengths, plus three vertical levels with new enemies to defend. It is the only one of the three listed for PS5 alone.

Deadline for October's PS Plus games

Members who have not yet claimed October's games need to act before the switchover. The PlayStation Blog says members "have until Monday November 2" to add F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. eXputer reported the same cut-off date.

How to claim the November games

Monthly games must be added to an account library while the claim window is open. Nerd's Chalk notes that the games remain playable while a PlayStation Plus membership is active. In practice:

1. Make sure your PS Plus Essential, Extra or Premium membership is active on or after November 3.
2. Open the PlayStation Plus section or the PlayStation Store on your console, the PlayStation App or the web store.
3. Select each monthly game and add it to your library before November 30, even if you do not plan to download it straight away.
4. Claim October's three games before November 2 if you have not already done so.

Claimed games are tied to the membership rather than owned outright, a distinction that has drawn wider debate about digital game ownership, as covered in our explainer on the Power to the Players Act.

What we know and what we don't know yet

Confirmed: the three titles, their platforms, the November 3 to November 30 window, and the November 2 deadline for October's games, all from Sony's own blog post. Not covered in that post: the November additions to the Game Catalog for Extra and Premium members. Regional availability can also vary, and readers should check the store listing in their own country.

Background

PS Plus Monthly Games are the titles included with every membership tier, including the entry-level Essential plan, and they rotate each month. The November lineup mixes a co-op action game, a nostalgia-driven remaster and a strategy title, which gives the month a broader spread than a single blockbuster. The same PlayStation Blog round-up also listed other upcoming PlayStation news, including Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 on November 6; our guide to Modern Warfare 4 launch times and platforms covers the base game.

Subscription value has become a talking point across consoles. Microsoft's recent changes to cloud play outside Game Pass are covered in our report on Xbox Cloud playtime prices, and PS5 hardware news, such as the Japan-only Midnight Black PS5, continues to shape what console owners pay for.

What it means

For PS4 owners, two of the three November games are playable on their console, while Monster Train 2 requires a PS5. For anyone with a lapsed or paused membership, the practical deadline that matters most is November 2, the last day to keep October's games, followed by November 30 for this month's set. Adding all three titles to a library during the window costs nothing extra for active members and keeps them available for as long as the membership continues.
