PS Plus November 2026 Games: Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI and Monster Train 2

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 ^[1]. Sony announced the lineup on the PlayStation Blog on October 28, 2026 ^[1].

Game	Platforms	Typical PS Store price
Dead Island 2	PS5, PS4	$41.99
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered	PS5, PS4	$29.99
Monster Train 2	PS5	$24.99

Platforms come from Sony and GameRant, and the prices are GameRant's typical PlayStation Store figures ^{[1] [2]}. Added up, the three games come to $96.97 at those prices.

When can you claim the November games?

All three games are available from Tuesday, November 3 to Monday, November 30, 2026 ^[1]. GameRant also lists November 3 as the first day to claim them ^[2].

You do not have to play them in November. What matters is adding them to your library before the window closes on November 30.

Which PS Plus tier do you need?

Any of the three PS Plus tiers works. Sony's PS Plus page lists monthly games as a benefit of Essential, Extra and Premium alike ^[3]. GameRant describes the monthly games as part of the Essential tier, which the higher tiers include ^[2].

Extra adds the Game Catalog, a library of hundreds of games, and Premium adds the Classics Catalog, game trials and PS5 cloud streaming ^[3]. You do not need either of those for this month's three games.

How long do you keep PS Plus monthly games?

You keep them as long as you stay subscribed. Sony's PS Plus games page says: "You can add the monthly games to your game library to download and play at any time as long as you have an active membership plan." ^[4]

That has two practical effects. First, a game you add in November stays in your library after November ends, so you can download it in January or next summer ^[4]. Second, if your membership lapses, you lose the ability to play it until you are a member again ^[4]. GameRant's word "free" is shorthand: the games cost nothing extra, but they need an active subscription ^{[2] [4]}.

What is Dead Island 2 like?

Dead Island 2 is a zombie action game set in a ruined Los Angeles, which Sony's blog post nicknames "HELL-A" ^[1]. You can explore its world alone, or team up with two friends in online three-player co-op ^[1].

It is the biggest name of the month. GameRant lists its typical store price at $41.99 and its Metacritic PlayStation score at 73, which Metacritic labels "Mixed or Average" ^[2]. If you like loud, gory co-op games with friends, start here.

What is in Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered?

This collection bundles three Lara Croft games known as the Darkness Trilogy: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness ^[1]. You can switch between the original polygon models and the remastered graphics at any time ^[1].

GameRant puts its typical price at $29.99 and its Metacritic PlayStation score at 65 ^[2]. It suits players who grew up with the original games, or anyone curious about where the series came from. The graphics toggle makes it easy to compare old and new with one button.

What is Monster Train 2?

Monster Train 2 is a single-player deckbuilding roguelite, available only on PS5 ^[1]. You lead clans of former angels and demons on trains through Hell, Heaven and the Abyss, fighting powerful beings called Titans who have taken over Heaven ^[1].

The sequel offers five new clans, each with its own strengths, and three vertical levels of the train to defend ^[1]. GameRant notes it has no PlayStation Metacritic score yet, but the PC version scores 87, labeled "Generally Favorable" ^[2]. If you enjoy deckbuilding card games, this is the pick of the month.

What if you only own a PS4?

PS4 owners get two of the three games this month: Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered ^{[1] [2]}. Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5 only ^[1].

Sony's PS Plus pages also note that from January 2026, PS4 games are added only intermittently ^[4]. If you are still on a PS4, expect more months where part of the lineup is PS5-only.

What happens to the October 2026 games?

The October 2026 monthly games were F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 ^[2]. GameRant says they can be claimed until November 3, when the November games rotate in ^[2].

If you have not added them yet, do it before Tuesday. After the switch, they are no longer offered as monthly games.

What about the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for November?

The three games above are the monthly games, which every tier gets. Extra and Premium members also get new Game Catalog titles, and Sony says the games on PlayStation Plus are updated monthly across all three tiers ^[3].

As of October 29, 2026, Sony had not yet announced the November Game Catalog additions. Watch the PlayStation Blog in the first half of November for that list.

Which November game should you play first?

It depends on how you play. For co-op nights with friends, Dead Island 2 is the obvious start ^[1]. For a solo game you can dip into for 30 minutes at a time, Monster Train 2 fits better, though only on PS5 ^[1].

Claim Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered even if you will not touch it this month, since it adds three games to your library at no extra cost ^{[1] [4]}. Mark November 30 in your calendar and add all three before then.
