The PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for November 2026 are Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered and Monster Train 2, and every PS Plus member can add them to their library from Tuesday, November 3 until Monday, November 30. Sony has not announced November’s Game Catalog lineup for PS Plus Extra and Premium yet, so as of Thursday, November 5, no new catalog games are confirmed for the month.
Below we cover each Monthly Game, the claim window, where the Extra and Premium catalog stands and when Sony has announced it in recent months, the Premium trials and Helldivers 2 avatars on Sony’s PS Plus page right now, and the 12 games in the PlayStation Store’s “Last chance to play” collection. Everything here comes from the PlayStation Blog’s November announcement, Sony’s What’s new on PS Plus page and the PlayStation Store. Our news report on the lineup covered the reveal on October 28.
Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4)
Available: November 3 to November 30. Tiers: Essential, Extra and Premium.
Dead Island 2 sends you into “HELL-A,” a Los Angeles overrun by mutated zombies, in what Sony calls an “extensive, visceral RPG experience.” You take on quests across famous LA locations, meet eccentric survivors, and fight with brutal melee combat and a wide range of improvised weapons. You can play alone or in online three-player co-op, which makes it the pick of the month for a group. For more games to play together, see our best co-op PS5 games and our best PS5 co-op games of 2026.
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered (PS5, PS4)
Available: November 3 to November 30. Tiers: Essential, Extra and Premium.
This collection remasters what Sony calls the Darkness Trilogy: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. You can play with the original polygonal models or switch to the remastered graphics at any time. The Last Revelation and Chronicles were original PlayStation games, and the series’ first game is on our list of the best PS1 games of all time. For where Lara is heading next, our report on how long Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis runs has the developer’s own word.
Monster Train 2 (PS5)
Available: November 3 to November 30. Tiers: Essential, Extra and Premium.
Monster Train 2 is a single-player deckbuilding roguelite. Clans of former angels and demons join forces to oust the Titans, who have seized control of Heaven, and you command them aboard newly forged trains through Hell, Heaven and the Abyss. Sony’s post highlights five new clans, each with its own strengths, and three vertical levels of the train to defend while you recruit units and upgrade cards. It is the only one of the three that is PS5 only. If deckbuilders are your thing, read our Slay the Spire 2 review too.
How and When to Claim the Monthly Games
- When: from Tuesday, November 3 to Monday, November 30, 2026. Sony gives the dates but not a time of day, so add them before November 30 rather than on it.
- Who: every PS Plus tier. Sony’s PS Plus page says the Monthly Games are “available to download with any PlayStation Plus plan, and yours to keep for as long as you’re a member.”
- How: open each game’s page on the PlayStation Store while signed in to your PS Plus account and add it to your library. You do not have to download it straight away; once it is in your library, you can download it later as long as your membership is active.
- October’s games are gone: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 could be added until Monday, November 2, as our October Monthly Games report noted. That window has closed.
Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered both come in PS5 and PS4 versions, so PS4 owners get two of the three games this month.
The Game Catalog: Not Announced Yet
The Game Catalog is the larger library that comes with PS Plus Extra and Premium, and Sony announces its additions in a separate PlayStation Blog post. As of Thursday, November 5, there is no November catalog post on the PlayStation Blog, and Sony’s What’s new on PS Plus page, though headed “What’s new in November,” still lists October’s additions, led by Mafia: The Old Country, Horizon Forbidden West and Mycopunk from October 20. Our October catalog report has that full lineup.
So no Extra or Premium games are confirmed for November, and anything you see listed elsewhere is a guess until Sony posts. Here is the pattern from Sony’s own announcements, as context only:
| Month | Catalog announced on the PlayStation Blog |
|---|---|
| May 2026 | Wednesday, May 13 |
| June 2026 | Wednesday, June 10 |
| July 2026 | Wednesday, July 15 |
| August 2026 | Wednesday, August 12 |
| September 2026 | Wednesday, September 9 |
| October 2026 | Wednesday, October 14 |
Every one of those posts went up on a Wednesday between the 9th and the 15th of the month. Sony has not said when November’s will appear, and we will not guess a day. We will add the lineup here when it is announced.
Premium Extras on Sony’s Page Now
- Game Trials (Premium): Sony’s PS Plus page lists 007 First Light as its latest Game Trial. Premium members can try select games for a limited time, and Sony says “all your progress and trophies will carry over if you decide to buy.” John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is among the other trials listed. Separately, IO Interactive is making 007 First Light’s opening mission free on PS5 from November 10, as our report on the free Starter Pack explains.
- Classics Catalog (Premium): the page still features Dino Crisis 2, which Sony describes as “now enhanced with rewind, quick save and video filters.”
- Helldivers 2 avatars (every tier): after the community eliminated over 500 million enemies in six days, Sony is giving all PS Plus members four Helldivers 2 avatars. The voucher code is on Sony’s What’s new on PS Plus page; redeem it from Redeem codes on PlayStation.com, in the PS App, or in the PlayStation Store on your console. Our Helldivers guides cover the game itself.
Leaving the Game Catalog Soon
The PlayStation Store’s “Last chance to play” collection for PS Plus currently lists these 12 games, Sony’s signal that they are leaving the Extra and Premium catalog soon:
- Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)
- Football Manager 26 Console (PS5)
- Grand Theft Auto V (PS4 and PS5)
- Thank Goodness You’re Here! (PS4 and PS5)
- The Talos Principle 2 (PS5)
- Cricket 24 (PS4 and PS5)

Sony has not put a removal date on the PlayStation Blog, and the store’s web listing does not show one, so treat these as leaving at any time and finish what you are playing first. Our Red Dead guides and GTA guides can help you wrap up a save, and Football Manager 26 players heading to FM27 on November 10 will find what they need in every Football Manager guide. If you want to keep The Talos Principle 2, our report on its price increase covers what it costs now.
What Is on Game Pass This Month
If you also play on Xbox or PC, our list of every game coming to Xbox Game Pass in November 2026 has the full lineup with tiers and dates. And if GTA V’s exit has you looking ahead, our guide to whether GTA 6 is on PS Plus or Game Pass covers where Rockstar’s next game stands.
