Sony has revealed the November PlayStation Plus monthly games: Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered, and Monster Train 2. The lineup goes live November 3, and eligible members can add the games to their libraries through November 30.

Sony's November selection mixes three very different games

Sony's November 2026 PlayStation Plus monthly games are Dead Island 2 for PS5 and PS4, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered for PS5 and PS4, and Monster Train 2 for PS5. The titles become available on November 3 and remain claimable through November 30. This is the monthly-game offer, so it is separate from the rotating Extra and Premium catalog announcements.

The lineup jumps between a first-person zombie action game, a collection of classic adventure games, and a deck-building roguelike. That variety gives subscribers a few very different ways to spend the month, whether they want a cinematic campaign, older games with modern presentation options, or runs built around tactical card choices.

Sony's post is the source for the dates and platform details. It does not provide review scores or say that every title will remain in the monthly lineup after November. Add the games to your library during the stated window if you want to keep access while your subscription is active; do not assume a later catalog refresh will include them.

Dead Island 2 is the action pick for players who want a campaign

Dead Island 2 takes the series' zombie outbreak into a fictional version of Los Angeles. The official PlayStation announcement describes a first-person action RPG built around its setting and combat, and lists the game for both PS5 and PS4 in this offer. If you have not tried it, the monthly claim window is a convenient way to add it without purchasing the game separately that month.

This is a full game rather than a short trial, but that does not mean every player will want to start it immediately. Check the store page for edition information, language options, download size, and any local availability notes. If you play with friends, confirm the current multiplayer and platform details before planning a co-op session; platform support can matter when your group is split between generations.

The useful thing about a month-long claim window is that it lets you make a deliberate library decision. You do not need to download all three games on day one. Claim the offer through the PlayStation Store or console interface, then install Dead Island 2 when you have the storage and time for an action campaign. The claim and the download are separate steps.

Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered brings three older adventures together

The second game is Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered, a collection covering The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and The Angel of Darkness. Sony lists the collection for PS5 and PS4. These are older entries from a very different era of the franchise, so the remastered package is aimed at players who want to revisit Lara Croft's earlier adventures or see how the series changed across those releases.

A collection like this can be a good fit for short sessions as well as longer story play. Still, expectations matter: remastering does not automatically make an older design feel like a brand-new game. If you are new to these titles, look at the official store description and any available control or visual options before beginning. That gives you a better idea of how the package handles the original games.

For longtime fans, the appeal is having three related games in one place. For newcomers, the value is being able to sample several periods of the series without hunting down separate legacy releases. The announcement confirms the games included and the eligible consoles; it does not make a claim that these versions change the original story or add a new Lara Croft campaign.

Monster Train 2 adds a strategy option to the monthly mix

Monster Train 2 is the most systems-focused pick in the November offer. Sony describes it as a deck-building roguelike and lists it for PS5. That means the basic appeal is building a strategy over a run, then adapting when encounters and available choices do not line up perfectly with your first plan.

Players who enjoy card games often like the way a run can change from one attempt to the next. A deck builder asks you to weigh immediate power against future flexibility, and a roguelike structure gives those choices a clear consequence. The official announcement confirms the genre and platform, but it does not promise a particular amount of content or make a statement about balance, difficulty, or long-term replay value.

If you are unsure whether this style suits you, try a few runs before judging the whole game. Early decisions can feel unfamiliar while you learn the cards and systems. The PS Plus claim gives subscribers a low-friction way to test that style, and the PS5 listing means PS4 owners should not assume this particular selection will appear on their console.

How to claim the games and make room in your library

The official dates are straightforward: the three November monthly games are available from November 3 until November 30. Open the PlayStation Store from a console or browser, sign in to the account with the active membership, and add each eligible title to the library while the offer is live. Store interfaces can vary slightly by region, so use the platform's own listing if a tile does not appear in a featured row.

Claiming does not require downloading every game immediately. This is useful if your console storage is tight or your internet connection makes large downloads inconvenient. Save the titles to your library first, then manage installs around the games you are actively playing. Before removing a game, remember that deleting local files is different from removing the license from your account.

As with other monthly offers, access is connected to an eligible PlayStation Plus membership. Sony's announcement is the authority for the November dates and included titles; check the store in your country for final availability and subscription terms. A sensible plan is to claim all three, install the one you are most curious about, and keep the other two ready for a quieter week.

A practical take: claim all three, then start with your mood

There is no single best game in this trio because the genres are so different. Dead Island 2 fits an action-focused evening, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered is the nostalgia and exploration choice, and Monster Train 2 is built for strategic runs. That range is a strength: subscribers can choose based on what they feel like playing instead of forcing one style for the whole month.

If you are new to PlayStation Plus, keep the claim dates in your calendar and read the current membership terms in your region. The monthly lineup is not a permanent ownership purchase in the ordinary sense; access depends on the rules of the service and a qualifying subscription. It is also worth checking whether you already own a title before claiming another edition.

The November selection is confirmed, but future monthly games are not part of this announcement. Avoid posts that present guesses as a leaked December lineup. For the actual November offer, Sony has already given the names, platforms, and dates. Add them before November 30, then pick whichever game sounds fun when you are ready to play.
