PlayStation Plus subscribers can add three games to their libraries in November 2026: Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, and Monster Train 2. The lineup becomes available on Tuesday, November 3, and the claim window closes on Monday, November 30.
What are the PS Plus games for November 2026?
Sony confirmed the lineup through the official PlayStation Blog announcement. All three are Monthly Games, which means they are available to Essential, Extra, and Premium members. They are not the same as titles added to the rotating Game Catalog.
- Dead Island 2: PS5 and PS4
- Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered: PS5 and PS4
- Monster Train 2: PS5 only
You do not have to download the games during November. Adding them to your library before the deadline is enough. They remain playable after November 30 as long as your PlayStation Plus membership is active. Our guide to keeping PS Plus Monthly Games explains exactly what happens if a subscription expires and is later renewed.
Dead Island 2 is the biggest game in the lineup
Dead Island 2 is the obvious headline pick. It is a first-person action RPG set in a zombie-filled version of Los Angeles, with six playable characters, weapon crafting, skill cards, and co-op support. The tone is deliberately pulpy rather than bleak, so expect exaggerated gore and dark comedy.
The PS5 version is the better choice when you own both consoles because it benefits from faster loading and current-generation presentation. The PS4 version keeps the game accessible to players who have not upgraded. This is also the selection most likely to justify a long download, so add it to your library first and install only when you have enough storage.
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is three games, not one
This collection includes Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles, and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. It follows the earlier remastered trilogy and gives players the option to switch between updated graphics and the classic presentation.
It is the best November pick for players who want exploration, puzzles, and a historical look at the series. The controls and level design still reflect their original eras, even with modern improvements. If you expect the movement style of the newest Lara Croft trilogy, the transition may feel demanding.
Monster Train 2 is the sleeper recommendation
Monster Train 2 is a deckbuilding roguelike built around defending a train across several vertical floors. You combine clans, build a deck, place units, and adapt to randomized rewards and enemy waves. Runs are designed for experimentation, making it easy to play in shorter sessions while still offering deep strategy.
This is the strongest choice for players who value replayability over cinematic scale. It is also the only PS5-exclusive game in the lineup, so PS4 owners cannot claim a playable PS4 version.
Which November game should you play first?
Start with Dead Island 2 if you want action, co-op, and a substantial campaign. Pick Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered if you enjoy methodical puzzles or want to revisit Lara Croft’s more experimental era. Choose Monster Train 2 if you prefer strategy, quick runs, and systems that remain interesting after dozens of hours.
The practical move is to claim all three on November 3, even if you are unsure which one to install. Claiming costs nothing beyond the membership and preserves access while your subscription remains active.
Do not forget October’s games
October’s Monthly Games remain available only until Monday, November 2. The selection includes F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. If you have not claimed them, do that before the November lineup replaces them.
For comparison, our PS Plus October 2026 guide breaks down those three games. The key deadline is simple: claim October by November 2, then add the November games from November 3 through November 30.
