PS Plus November 2026 games: the full lineup
The PS Plus November 2026 games are Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered and Monster Train 2. PlayStation announced the trio on its official blog on October 28, 2026, and all three can be added to a library from Tuesday, November 3 through Monday, November 30. If you are a PlayStation Plus member, that is the whole answer: three games, one calendar month, no extra cost beyond your subscription.
The announcement is a first-party post, so the dates and platforms below come straight from Sony Interactive Entertainment rather than from a leak or a retailer listing. That matters in a month where plenty of rumours circulate before the official Wednesday reveal. Nothing here is speculative: the lineup, the window and the platform tags are all as PlayStation published them.
The mix is deliberately varied. One is a gory open-ended action RPG with co-op, one is a remastered compilation of three classic adventures, and one is a deckbuilding roguelite. Whatever your taste, the month is built so that at least one game should appeal, which is the point of a rotating Monthly Games line-up.
Dead Island 2: what PlayStation says you are getting
Dead Island 2 is listed for both PS5 and PS4. PlayStation's description sets it in a mutated Los Angeles it calls 'HELL-A', where the population has turned into zombies. It frames the game as an extensive, visceral RPG experience with quests, eccentric survivors and a pulpy narrative, and says the melee combat gives access to an expansive array of inventive weapons.
The practical detail for friends is co-op. The blog says you can explore alone or play in online three-player co-op. That is worth knowing because online play on PS5 and PS4 requires an active PlayStation Plus membership anyway, so the free copy and the multiplayer access come from the same subscription. PlayStation did not publish a file size or a version number in the announcement, so check the store page when the game goes live on November 3.
“Play with the original polygonal models or swap to the remastered graphics at any time.”
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered: three games, one choice of graphics
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is also tagged PS5 and PS4. PlayStation describes it as a remastered collection of the Darkness Trilogy, covering Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. That is three separate adventures in one claim, which makes it the best value-per-click item of the month for anyone who has never played them.
The standout feature in PlayStation's text is the graphics toggle: you can play with the original polygonal models or swap to the remastered graphics at any time. For returning fans that is the reason to try it, because you can compare the two looks mid-game rather than committing to one. The blog does not list a runtime or any control changes, so treat anything beyond the three titles and the graphics switch as unconfirmed until you open the game.
Monster Train 2 is the PS5-only pick
Monster Train 2 is the only one of the three tagged for PS5 alone, so PS4-only households will miss it. PlayStation describes it as a single-player deckbuilding roguelite in which you command clans formed from a makeshift alliance of former angels and demons, working together to oust powerful beings called Titans who have seized control of Heaven.
The blog adds that you choose from five brand-new clans, each with its own strengths and gameplay, and that the journey runs through Hell, Heaven and the Abyss on newly forged trains. It also notes three vertical levels to defend against dangerous new enemies, with new units to recruit and cards to upgrade. Those are the publisher's own claims, and they describe structure rather than quality, so read player reviews on the store before deciding whether the deckbuilder format suits you.
How the claim window works, and what leaves first
The key date is Tuesday, November 3, when the new games become claimable, and the key deadline is Monday, November 30, when the window closes. PlayStation's wording is that the games are available to play within that span. As with previous months, the safe habit is to add all three to your library during the window rather than waiting, because anything not added by the end of the month is no longer free to claim.
Before that, there is a deadline on the old lineup. PlayStation reminds members they have until Monday, November 2 to add October's Monthly Games: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. That overlap is a one-day gap in which October's titles are still claimable and November's are not yet, so if you have not claimed F1 25 or the other two, do it before the weekend ends.
What the lineup tells us about the month
This is a lineup of three established games rather than a headline new release, which is typical of the Monthly Games model: older titles, fresh to subscribers. It also shows PlayStation leaning on variety, with one big action game, one retro compilation and one strategy game. None of the three is a day-one launch, so there is no sign of a surprise major release hiding in November's catalogue.
For readers deciding whether to subscribe, the useful frame is cost per month against how many of the three you would actually play. If only one appeals, the Monthly Games are still free once you are a member, but they are a bonus, not the main case for the subscription. We will update this page if PlayStation changes the dates or adds anything to the window before November 3.
Frequently asked
What are the PS Plus November 2026 games?
The PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for November 2026 are Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered and Monster Train 2, announced on the official PlayStation Blog on October 28, 2026. Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered are listed for PS5 and PS4, while Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5 only. All three are available to add from Tuesday, November 3 to Monday, November 30.
When can I claim the November 2026 PS Plus Monthly Games?
You can claim them from Tuesday, November 3 to Monday, November 30, 2026, according to the PlayStation Blog. The games are not available before November 3, so there is nothing to claim yet. Add all three to your library during the window, because anything you do not add by the end of November is no longer a free Monthly Game for that month.
Which October PS Plus games do I need to claim before they leave?
October's Monthly Games are F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. PlayStation says members have until Monday, November 2, 2026 to add them to their library. That is one day before the November games arrive on November 3, so there is a short window where only October's lineup can be claimed. Add them now if you have not.
Is Monster Train 2 available on PS4 with PS Plus?
No, according to PlayStation's announcement. Monster Train 2 is tagged PS5 only, whereas Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered are tagged PS5 and PS4. If you only own a PS4, two of the three November games are claimable and playable for you, but the deckbuilding roguelite is not listed for your console.
Does Dead Island 2 have co-op in the PS Plus version?
PlayStation's description says you can explore the world alone or play in online three-player co-op. The announcement does not list any restriction on co-op for the PS Plus copy. Online play on PlayStation consoles requires an active PlayStation Plus membership, so the same subscription that gives you the free game also covers the online co-op you would use with friends.
What does Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered include?
PlayStation describes it as a remastered collection of 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. It is listed for PS5 and PS4 and arrives as part of the November window starting November 3.
