With Grand Theft Auto 6 only a few weeks away, it may dominate players’ attention. Before then, PlayStation Plus subscribers have three different games to add during November, including a remastered Tomb Raider collection and a highly regarded deckbuilding roguelike.
On October 28, PlayStation revealed November’s monthly games for subscribers across the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers. Add them to your PlayStation library from November 3 and you can install and play them while maintaining an active PS Plus subscription.

PlayStation Plus free games for November 2026
- Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered — PS5 and PS4
- Dead Island 2 — PS5 and PS4
- Monster Train 2 — PS5
These games can be claimed at no additional cost until November 30. A new, currently unannounced selection will replace them after that date, so subscribers should add any titles they want before the monthly offer ends.
Three very different games
Dead Island 2 is a survival-horror role-playing game that took nine years to make and went on to become very successful. Its name and genre make its appeal fairly clear, just as the classic adventure branding of Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered will be familiar to many players.
The less immediately recognisable choice is Monster Train 2. This sequel follows the 2020 deckbuilder roguelike, using cards in 2D, turn-based battles. Monsters attack your train, and letting them pass the third level ends the run, adding a tower-defence-style layer to the card combat.
The train travels from node to node across a map, with encounters spread through its carriages. Its blend of deckbuilding, tactical battles and route planning has been likened to a combination of Slay the Spire and SteamWorld Heist. The sequel has received a less enthusiastic response than the original, but it offers greater depth and more room for experimentation.

Last chance for October’s games
October’s PS Plus monthly games remain available until November 2. Subscribers can still add F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 to their library before the offer closes.
