Sony Interactive Entertainment’s November 2026 PlayStation Plus Monthly Games are Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2. Subscribers can add all three from Tuesday, November 3 through Monday, November 30, 2026. The first two support both PS5 and PS4, while Monster Train 2 is available only on PS5.
What are the PS Plus games for November 2026?
The lineup covers three very different types of play: a cooperative zombie action-RPG, a three-game classic-adventure collection and a strategy-heavy deckbuilding roguelite.
| Game | Platforms | Genre and play style | What stands out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dead Island 2 | PS5, PS4 | Action RPG; solo and online three-player co-op | Melee combat, weapon crafting and a zombie-overrun Los Angeles |
| Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered | PS5, PS4 | Classic action-adventure collection | Three remastered games with an on-demand original-graphics toggle |
| Monster Train 2 | PS5 | Single-player deckbuilding roguelite | Five clans, three vertical levels and build experimentation against the Titans |
When can I claim the November PS Plus games?
The claim period runs from November 3 to November 30, 2026. Add each title to your PlayStation Plus game library during that window; the announcement does not give a separate release time, so the games may appear according to the PlayStation Store’s regional schedule.
Adam Michel, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s senior director of content acquisition and operations, described the selection as: “Tackle the sun-kissed undead, uncover ancient relics, and jump aboard a train for a deckbuilding journey through Heaven, Hell and beyond.”
Is Dead Island 2 on PS4 and PS5?
Yes. The November 2026 PlayStation Plus version of Dead Island 2 is listed for both PS5 and PS4. It is an action RPG set in a zombie-overrun Los Angeles, called “HELL-A,” where players take on quests, meet eccentric survivors and fight through hordes with brutal melee weapons.
What kind of multiplayer does Dead Island 2 have?
The game supports solo play and online co-op for up to three players. That makes it the lineup’s multiplayer-focused choice, unlike the single-player Monster Train 2 and the primarily solo classic-adventure collection.
Why choose it from this month’s lineup?
Choose Dead Island 2 if you want immediate, combat-led action and the option to bring friends into the campaign. Its Los Angeles setting, improvised weapons and survivor-driven quests provide a more physical, reactive experience than the other two November games.
What games are in Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered?
Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered bundles three adventures: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. It is available on both PS5 and PS4.
Can I switch between original and remastered graphics?
Yes. The collection lets you switch between the original polygonal character and environment models and the remastered presentation at any time. That option is useful for players who want to compare the updated look with the visual style of the original releases without leaving the game.
Who is this collection for?
It is the month’s broadest package for classic exploration, platforming and puzzle-led adventure. The three included games cover a substantial stretch of Lara Croft’s late-1990s and early-2000s era rather than offering a modern open-world reboot.
Can I play Monster Train 2 on PS4?
No. Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5 only. It is a single-player deckbuilding roguelite in which you command five new clans, defend three vertical levels, recruit units, upgrade cards and test different combinations against the Titans.
What makes its structure different?
The vertical battlefield and clan-based deck construction make each run a strategic exercise in positioning, upgrades and synergy. Its replay value comes from experimenting with builds and adapting to the challenges of each run, rather than from co-op or a conventional story campaign.
Do I need to claim the October PS Plus games before November?
If you want October’s games, claim them by Monday, November 2, 2026. The outgoing titles are F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2; they are separate from the November selection and have that last-chance deadline in Sony’s announcement.
How should I handle the changeover?
- Open the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games section before November 2 and add any October title you want.
- From November 3, return to the same section and add Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2.
- Check the platform listing before downloading: the first two games support PS4 and PS5, while Monster Train 2 requires PS5.
Which November game should I choose first?
Start with Dead Island 2 for melee-focused action or three-player co-op, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered for three linked classic adventures and a graphics comparison toggle, or Monster Train 2 for a PS5-only solo strategy game built around repeatable deck and unit combinations. Since all three can be added during the same November 3–30 window, your choice can follow the platform and play style you actually use rather than a single overall ranking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the November 2026 games available in every country at the same time?
Sony gives the global claim dates as November 3–30, 2026, but PlayStation Store release timing can vary by region. Check your local store’s Monthly Games page if a title does not appear immediately.
Does the announcement list prices or review scores for these games?
No. Sony’s announcement provides the titles, platforms and feature descriptions but does not publish prices, review scores, sales figures or player counts. Those details must be checked separately on the relevant store or review pages.
Can I add the games without downloading them right away?
The important deadline is adding each game to your PlayStation Plus library during its claim window. Download timing is a separate decision, subject to the storage and platform requirements shown by the PlayStation Store.
Which November title is the PS5-only option?
Monster Train 2 is the only PS5-exclusive game in the lineup. Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered are listed for both PS5 and PS4.
