PS Plus Essential Spel for November 2026 Announced

Sony has today confirmed the lineup of PS5 games PS Plus Essential subscribers can look forward to for the month of November 2026. All available from Tuesday, 3rd November 2026, the selection looks like this:

• Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4) | Review
• Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered (PS5, PS4) | Review
• Monster Train 2 (PS5)

As a reminder, you must redeem these titles to your PSN account to ensure you have access to them beyond the point at which they’re rotated out for the following month’s lineup, which will take place on 1st December. As long as you do redeem these games, you can access and play them for as long as you maintain a PS Plus membership.

Sony is pitching Dead Island 2 as its headliner for the month, which is a really strong leader in the form of a first-person zombie game. Los Angeles has been taken over by the undead, and you’ve got to venture out and survive it.

In our Dead Island 2 PS5 review, we awarded a 7/10 score and said: “It’s a fun and simple zombie-slasher experience that may be let down by its uninspiring RPG elements and boring loot-cycle, but more than makes up for it with its killer setting, brutal melee combat, and stunning graphics.”

Then there’s the remastered collection of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (PS1), Tomb Raider Chronicles (PS1), and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness (PS2). All these classics have been remastered, and are now included in your PS Plus subscription.

“The ports aren’t perfect, but a generous selection of modern options balance out the imperfections of Tomb Raider: Last Revelation and its sequel Chronicles”, is how we concluded our 7/10-rated PS5 verdict. “Having The Angel of Darkness in a good enough state to revisit might be worth the price alone.”

Finally, Monster Train 2 is a roguelike deckbuilder based around cards. It’s supposed to be really good, with a Metacritic rating of 87 for the PC version.
