PS Plus Monthly Games for November 2026: What to Claim on PS4 and PS5
The PlayStation Plus monthly games for November 2026 are Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2. Sony lists November 3 to November 30 as the claim window. The first two are available for PS4 and PS5, while Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5. Open your own console store to confirm availability before the month ends, especially if your account region differs from where you live.
The three games make for an unusually varied library update. One is an action game built around fights with zombies, another collects three older adventures, and the third is a strategy game in which a single bad decision can unravel an otherwise promising run. If your free time this month amounts to a couple of evenings, choosing one to install makes more sense than downloading everything at once.
Dead Island 2 is the co-op pick
Dead Island 2 takes place in a fictional version of Los Angeles overrun by zombies. The action puts melee combat front and centre. Sony highlights online co-op for up to three players, so it is the obvious game in this month’s lineup if you already have friends who want to play together. Agree on an evening, check everyone has the right version, and give the group time to download it before the session.
It also works as a solo action game. The decision is mostly one of taste. If your idea of unwinding after work is a game where the next objective is obvious and the combat is messy, this one fits. If you share a TV with younger family members, check the store rating and content descriptions first. The combat is a large part of the experience.
Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered is three games in one
The collection contains The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness. The versions include a switch between original and remastered graphics. That makes it easy to see what changed in a room or scene without watching a separate comparison video. Longtime fans can start with the one they remember best. New players can begin with The Last Revelation, the first entry in this particular collection.
These are older adventures with a different pace from a modern action game. Give yourself time to study a room, work out where the next ledge is and try an approach twice. If you’d rather move through a story quickly, Dead Island 2 may be the better first installation. The Tomb Raider collection suits a player who enjoys making progress one puzzle at a time.
Monster Train 2 is for short sessions that turn into long ones
Monster Train 2 is a deckbuilding game about defending a train across three levels. Each run asks you to combine units, card effects and upgrades into a plan, then adapt when the next fight exposes a weakness. Sony lists it for PS5. If you’re choosing for a PS4-only household, the other two games are the options to look at this month.
The appeal is how many decisions fit in a short stretch of play. You can try a run, lose, and come back with one idea to test next time. If you like strategy but rarely have time to finish a long campaign, put this one at the top of your queue.
How to claim the November games
Sign in with your subscribed account, open the PlayStation Plus section and add the monthly games to your library during the window. Check that each listing shows it as added before leaving. Installation can wait. Sony’s November announcement lists the games and dates. If you’re claiming them close to the cutoff, follow the timing shown by your local PlayStation Store.
