PS Plus Essential games for November 2026

You can claim Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered and Monster Train 2 with PS Plus from 3 to 30 November 2026. Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider support PS5 and PS4; Monster Train 2 is on PS5. This November edition reflects Sony's announcement of 28 October. Until the new selection arrives, you can still add October's games through 2 November.

Choose Dead Island 2 for zombie fighting in Los Angeles, Tomb Raider for three Lara Croft adventures, or Monster Train 2 for a single-player deckbuilding roguelite. Your Tomb Raider collection includes The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness, with original and remastered graphics you can switch between. Match the platform column to your console before choosing your download.

Claim November's games with any PS Plus plan

You need an active PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra or Premium membership. Monthly Games are included in all three plans, so Essential covers this selection. Sign in with the account that holds your membership and add each game during 3-30 November. The deadline is your window to claim; you can return to your claimed games afterwards while your membership stays active.

Check your local PlayStation Store for the selection available to your account: content can vary with territory, age and account settings. For the separate library included with the higher plans, see the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalogue games. Use Monthly Games for the three November titles above. Your membership renews automatically until cancelled, and you can use its benefits until your paid period expires.

Download on PS5 or add to your PS4 library

On PS5, start from the Games home screen and scroll right to PlayStation Plus. Open the Benefits tab, select Monthly Games, highlight your chosen title and select Download. You can choose all three November games on PS5. If the new selection is missing on 3 November, check again after the store update and confirm that you are using your subscribed account.

On PS4, open PlayStation Plus from the function screen and scroll down to Monthly Games. Highlight Dead Island 2 or Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, then select Add to Library followed by Download. Repeat for the other PS4 game you want. Monster Train 2 requires PS5 for the console download covered here, so use the two PS4 entries when choosing something to install on PS4.

Find your claimed games and install them later

On PS5, open Games home > Game Library > Your Collection, choose your claimed game and select Download. On PS4, open Library > Purchased, select the title and choose Download. These routes also let you return to an earlier monthly game you added during its claim window. Find the title in the library of the account you used to claim it; installation follows the download automatically.

For a browser download, sign in to PlayStation, select your avatar and open Game Library > Purchased. Select the game, then Download; on mobile, use the download icon. Your PS5 must be logged in with that account, or your PS4 activated as its primary PS4. Set up automatic downloads for remote installation; otherwise, downloading starts when you next turn on the console.

In PlayStation App, use Settings > Pair Console to App and follow the prompts to link your console. Then open Game Library, choose Purchased, select your game and use Download to Console. Keep the paired console in rest mode with Stay Connected to the Internet enabled for remote downloading. If a claimed title is missing, check your account's transaction history before trying to obtain it again.

Last month's games: October 2026

You can still claim F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 until Monday 2 November. October's window opened on 6 October. F1 25 and Hunt are PS5 games; World Brothers 2 supports PS5 and PS4. Add them before the window ends, then return through your library with an active membership when you want to play.
