PlayStation Plus subscribers have three new games to look forward to in November. Sony has confirmed that Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered, and Monster Train 2 will join the monthly PS Plus games lineup, giving players a mix of zombie action, classic adventures, and strategic deck-building.
The PS Plus November 2026 games become available on November 3 and can be claimed through November 30. Two titles support both PS4 and PS5, while Monster Train 2 is available on PS5 only. Sony confirmed the lineup in its official PlayStation Blog announcement.
There’s a good variety here, especially for players who enjoy trying games outside their usual genres. Here’s a closer look at all three titles, their platforms, and what subscribers should know before the new lineup arrives.
PS Plus November 2026 Games List
Sony has confirmed the following games for November’s PlayStation Plus Monthly Games selection.
| Game | Platforms | Genre |
|---|---|---|
| Dead Island 2 | PS5, PS4 | Action RPG, zombie combat |
| Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered | PS5, PS4 | Action-adventure |
| Monster Train 2 | PS5 | Deck-building roguelite |
All three games will be available to eligible PlayStation Plus subscribers from November 3 through November 30.
The selection covers three different styles of gameplay. Dead Island 2 focuses on brutal combat against zombies, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered brings back three of Lara Croft’s older adventures, and Monster Train 2 challenges players to build effective decks and defend against enemy attacks.
1. Dead Island 2
Platforms: PS5 and PS4
If you enjoy zombie games with plenty of close-range combat, Dead Island 2 is the main attraction in November’s lineup.
The action RPG takes place in HELL-A, a zombie-infested version of Los Angeles. Players explore the city, complete quests, meet survivors, and fight through groups of infected using an assortment of weapons.
What sets the game apart is its focus on melee combat. Instead of relying entirely on firearms, players can experiment with different weapons and fighting styles to deal with the undead. The combat is designed around the physical impact of attacks, making each encounter feel brutal.
Can you play Dead Island 2 with friends?
Yes. Dead Island 2 supports online co-op for up to three players, so you can team up with friends instead of fighting through the outbreak alone.
The game also lets players explore its world solo. That makes it a reasonable choice whether you prefer a single-player campaign or want to experience the chaos with a group.
For subscribers who missed the game when it launched, November’s selection offers an opportunity to try its version of Los Angeles without purchasing a separate copy, provided they claim it during the promotional period and maintain the required membership.
Why it stands out: Dead Island 2 is the pick for players who want action, weapon variety, and a zombie-filled setting rather than a slower, more tactical survival experience.
2. Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered
Platforms: PS5 and PS4
Lara Croft is returning with three classic adventures in Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered. The collection brings together games from the series’ earlier years, giving players another way to experience some of the franchise’s older entries.
The package includes:
- Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
- Tomb Raider: Chronicles
- Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
Each game follows Lara through dangerous locations filled with puzzles, enemies, hidden paths, and ancient secrets. The collection is particularly relevant for longtime fans who want to revisit these adventures on modern PlayStation consoles.
What’s included in Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered?
Beyond combining three games, the collection allows players to switch between the original polygonal character models and the remastered graphics. You can change the visual presentation as you play rather than committing to one style for the entire adventure.
That option gives returning players a chance to compare the updated visuals with the originals. Newcomers can also use the collection to explore a part of the franchise they may have missed.
It’s worth remembering that these are older games at their core. Players who enjoy classic exploration and puzzle-solving may appreciate the experience more than those expecting a modern action game.
Why it stands out: Three adventures in one collection make this the most substantial choice for players who enjoy revisiting older games or catching up on gaming history.
3. Monster Train 2
Platform: PS5
Monster Train 2 is the most different game in November’s selection. It swaps third-person action and traditional adventure gameplay for a strategy-focused experience built around cards, units, and carefully planned battles.
This single-player deck-building roguelite follows an alliance of former angels and demons as they attempt to defeat powerful Titans that have seized control of Heaven. Players travel through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss aboard newly forged trains.
What makes Monster Train 2 different?
The game’s battles involve defending three vertical levels against incoming enemies. Players recruit units, upgrade cards, and build combinations that can survive increasingly difficult encounters.
One of the main attractions is the choice of five new clans, each with its own strengths. Different combinations encourage players to experiment with their decks and develop strategies that suit their preferred playstyle.
As a roguelite, the game also rewards experimentation. A deck that performs well in one run may not be the best choice in another, so players have reasons to try new combinations instead of sticking to a single strategy.
If you enjoy games that reward planning and learning from failed attempts, Monster Train 2 could become the most replayable title in this month’s selection.
One important limitation: The game is listed for PS5 only. PS4 owners can still claim the other two November games.
When Can You Claim the PS Plus November 2026 Games?
The November games are available to claim from Tuesday, November 3, through Monday, November 30, 2026.
Here’s the schedule:
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| October 28, 2026 | Sony announces the November lineup |
| November 2, 2026 | Final day to claim October’s monthly games |
| November 3, 2026 | November’s games become available |
| November 30, 2026 | Last day to claim November’s games |
You don’t need to download all three games immediately. The important step is to add them to your library while they’re available through the monthly games promotion.
How to claim the November PS Plus games
Follow these steps:
- Sign in to your PlayStation Network account.
- Open the PlayStation Store on your PS5 or PS4.
- Find the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games section.
- Select each November game.
- Choose the option to add it to your library.
You can also check the PlayStation Store through a web browser. Make sure you’re signed in to the correct account before claiming the titles.
Once you’ve claimed a monthly game, you can generally continue playing it after the promotional window closes, provided your PlayStation Plus membership remains active and the game is still covered by your membership entitlement.
Do You Need PS Plus Essential to Play These Games?
The three titles are part of the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games program. Eligible subscribers can claim them during the announced period without purchasing each game separately.
Monthly games are different from the games offered through the PS Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog. The Monthly Games program provides a selection to claim, while the Game Catalog offers a changing library of games that members can download while the titles remain available and their subscription includes the relevant benefit.
If you’re already subscribed, check your membership benefits and the PlayStation Store to confirm that you can claim each game.
It’s also worth remembering that a claimed monthly game isn’t the same as a game you own outright. Access to monthly games generally depends on maintaining an active PlayStation Plus membership.
Last Chance to Claim October 2026’s PS Plus Games
Before downloading November’s selection, check whether you’ve claimed October’s games.
Sony has confirmed that subscribers have until Monday, November 2, 2026, to add these titles to their libraries:
- F1 25
- Hunt: Showdown 1896
- Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2
After the claim window closes, these games will no longer be available to claim as October’s Monthly Games.
If any of the three interests you, add it to your library before the deadline. You don’t have to download it immediately, and claiming it now means you won’t miss the monthly offer.
Is the PS Plus November 2026 Lineup Worth It?
November’s lineup is appealing because the three games offer very different experiences. Rather than giving subscribers three similar action games, Sony has included a zombie-focused RPG, a collection of classic adventures, and a strategy game built around replayable runs.
Here’s how I’d approach the selection based on your gaming preferences:
| If you enjoy | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Zombie combat and co-op | Dead Island 2 | Focuses on melee combat and fighting infected enemies |
| Classic adventures and puzzles | Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered | Includes three Lara Croft games |
| Strategy and deck-building | Monster Train 2 | Rewards planning, card combinations, and experimentation |
The platform split is another consideration. PS5 owners can claim all three games, while PS4 players have access to Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered.
For subscribers who enjoy trying different genres, this is a useful month to explore something new. Players who already own one or more of the games may find the lineup less exciting, but the variety gives the selection broader appeal.
