Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for November 2026: Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2. The announced window runs from November 3 through November 30. As of October 30, these are next month’s selections; the announcement does not mean you can already claim them today.
PS Plus November games revealed: zombies, Lara Croft and a monster train
November’s lineup switches between zombie combat, classic exploration and tactical cards. Here are the dates and console versions to check before planning your next download.
Which games are on PS5 and PS4?
Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered are listed for PS5 and PS4, while Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5. The choices cover zombie action with three-player online co-op, a collection of Lara Croft adventures, and single-player deckbuilding. Check the console label attached to each game rather than assuming every monthly selection has the same versions.
Our suggestion is to choose your first download around how you want to spend the evening. For a planned group session, agree on a game and time with your friends before everyone installs something different. For a quieter evening, ask whether you want direct exploration or a game built around choosing cards and responding to changing encounters. You do not need to start all three to make use of the month.
How to access the monthly games
PlayStation’s support page describes monthly games as playable at no additional game charge during your membership. Use the Monthly Games section on your console, or the PlayStation App or website, to manage access and downloads. Check that the account you are using has the relevant membership before treating a store listing as part of your subscription.
Before downloading, check free storage and the edition shown in your library. If you intend to play with someone else, compare the actual multiplayer details for your versions. A familiar title, a similar cover or a shared subscription label should not be your only check when coordinating a session.
Do not miss October’s November 2 deadline
There is also a nearer deadline: Sony says October’s monthly games can be added until November 2. If you are catching up, review that selection before waiting for November’s changeover. Keep the two windows separate when making your list.
The useful plan is to review the outgoing month now, return for the new lineup on November 3 and install the game you actually intend to try first. This is a guide to the announced selection and access dates, rather than a hands-on review of the included games.
