Summary:

PlayStation Plus November Monthly Games arrive November 3–30, 2026. This guide separates subscription access from free-to-keep ownership, lists the supported consoles and flags October's November 2 claim deadline.

PlayStation Plus has announced its November Monthly Games, but they are not claimable yet. The October 28 announcement sets the window for November 3–30, 2026. These are paid-membership benefits, not free-to-keep giveaways that remain playable without a subscription.

The November lineup

  • Dead Island 2 — PS5 and PS4. A zombie action RPG with solo play and three-player online co-op.
  • Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered — PS5 and PS4. The collection includes The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness, with original and remastered visual options.
  • Monster Train 2 — PS5. A single-player roguelite deckbuilder. No PS4 version is listed in this lineup.

These platforms and dates come from the official PlayStation Blog announcement. Sony gives calendar dates rather than an exact activation or cutoff time and timezone, so check your account’s store before relying on a last-minute claim.

Essential is enough; continued play needs membership

Monthly Games are included in Essential, Extra and Premium. You do not need to upgrade solely to access this monthly selection. The subscription itself is paid; this is not a $0 standalone purchase offer.

Adding a game during its monthly window does not turn it into an unrestricted permanent purchase. Sony’s subscription support guidance says monthly-game access ends when membership expires. Canceling renewal leaves benefits available until the already-paid period finishes. Separately purchased discounted games are different: Sony says those purchases remain yours.

How to find the correct claim

From November 3, sign into the PlayStation account with your eligible membership and open the Monthly Games section. On PS5, Sony directs users to PlayStation Plus, then Benefits and Monthly Games. On PS4, open PlayStation Plus and select Monthly Games, then Add to Library. See Sony’s download instructions.

Confirm the game’s title, supported console and membership entitlement before accepting anything. Do not buy a full-price edition or DLC pack by mistake. This guide uses US PlayStation sources; verify the offer shown for your account region. It does not claim PC licenses, cloud access or every expansion is included.

Check October’s selection first

Sony says October’s Monthly Games—F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2—can be added until November 2. Existing members should check those before the November lineup arrives. This is a monthly entitlement window, not a claim that the games stop working for every member that day.
