Sony has announced the three games coming to PlayStation Plus members in November 2026 for all tiers.


All three titles will be available to add to your library from November 3 until November 30. Once claimed, they remain playable for as long as you hold an active PlayStation Plus subscription at any tier.


October’s lineup of F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is available to claim until November 2, so do not let those go if you have not grabbed them yet.


Here is the full list of November’s PlayStation Plus monthly games:

  • Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4)

  • Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered (PS5, PS4)

  • Monster Train 2 (PS5)


A solid spread across genres, with something for action RPG fans, classic adventure enthusiasts, and strategy roguelite players alike.


A Closer Look at the Games

Dead Island 2 is the biggest name in this month’s lineup. Developed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver, it launched in April 2023 after one of gaming’s longest and most turbulent development histories. The game is set in a zombie-ravaged Los Angeles, cheekily rebranded as HELL-A, and puts you in the shoes of one of several customizable Slayers navigating iconic LA locations while carving through hordes of the undead. The combat is the clear standout, powered by the FLESH system that enables detailed dismemberment and a genuinely satisfying sense of physicality to every encounter. Skill cards, a Fury Mode, and a campy, humor-laced story round out the package, and up to three players can tackle it together in online co-op. Reception landed the game around 73 on Metacritic and 75 on OpenCritic, with critics and players largely agreeing that the combat and visual presentation are excellent while the story and structural repetition hold it back. On Steam it carries a Mostly Positive rating of around 77 percent. It sold well beyond publisher expectations and has since received story expansions. For anyone who enjoys visceral melee action with a pulpy B-movie tone, Dead Island 2 is a genuinely fun time.


Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is the nostalgia pick of the month. Developed by Aspyr and released in February 2025, this remastered collection brings together the so-called Darkness Trilogy: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles, and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. All three are classic third-person action-adventure games built around platforming, environmental puzzle solving, and combat as Lara Croft exploring tombs and ruins across the globe. The collection includes modernized controls alongside the original tank controls for purists, updated graphics and lighting that can be toggled against the original visuals at any time, a photo mode, and quality-of-life additions like quick saves. Reception was mixed, sitting around 70 on Metacritic and 69 on OpenCritic, though user scores were considerably more favorable at around 7.8. Critics appreciated the faithful preservation and visual upgrades while noting that the source games, particularly The Angel of Darkness, carry their age more visibly than others. The Last Revelation tends to draw the most praise of the three. For fans of classic Tomb Raider or those who never experienced this era of the series, it is a worthwhile collection.


Monster Train 2 is the critical darling of this month’s lineup, and arguably one of the best PS Plus additions of the year. Developed by Shiny Shoe and published under the Devolver Digital label by Big Fan Games, the game launched in May 2025 as the sequel to the beloved original Monster Train. The concept puts you in command of clans made up of an uneasy alliance between former angels and demons, defending a multi-tiered train as it travels through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss to take on powerful beings called Titans who have seized control of Heaven. Each run sees you building a deck, placing units across three vertical floors of the train, casting spells, and managing resources against increasingly dangerous enemy waves. Five new clans each bring their own mechanics and strategic identity, and the depth of possible builds and synergies gives it exceptional replay value. As per critical reception, Monster Train 2 sits at 87 on Metacritic and 88 on OpenCritic, with an outstanding 93 percent of critics recommending it. On Steam it holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating of 95 percent from around ten thousand reviews. It is widely regarded as a deeper and more polished sequel to one of the genre’s best, and with over one million players already, it has clearly found its audience. Worth noting as well, an expansion called The Punished is due on November 10, which lands right in the middle of this PS Plus window and gives subscribers even more reason to dive in.
