PlayStation has revealed its free game lineup for PlayStation Plus members in November 2026, and subscribers can start claiming three titles on November 3. Two of the picks carry a history that makes this batch worth a closer look.

The window is wide open. Every game in the set is available from November 3 through November 30, which gives members a full month to decide. The clock on October’s offerings is ticking faster. Anyone who has not claimed those yet needs to do it before next Tuesday.

The zombie game that finally arrived

The first pick spent a long time as a rumor. Dead Island 2 was revealed in 2014, and for years it was considered vaporware. It was eventually released in 2023, and it has been worth the wait for players who like their horror loud and messy.

The game is a first-person zombie slayer with a few surprises under the hood. Its RPG system goes deeper than most fans expect, the gore is heavy, and there is at least one undead clown boss fight that is, in the words of the description, incredibly creepy.

It’s a first-person zombie-slaying game with a surprisingly deep RPG system, impressive amounts of gore, and at least one incredibly creepy undead clown boss fight.

Dead Island 2 was previously available through the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in 2024, but it was removed earlier this year. Its return to the free lineup gives anyone who missed it the first time a second chance. It is available on PS5 and PS4.

A Lara Croft collection with a retro switch

The second pick is for fans who want to revisit Lara Croft’s past. Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered bundles three classic entries: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles, and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.

All three have been remastered with updated graphics. Nostalgia has a built-in option here, too. Players who miss the old look can switch back to the original polygonal visuals of these games, which makes the collection feel like two experiences in one. It is available on PS5 and PS4.

A sequel that sharpens a good idea

The third pick is Monster Train 2, a deckbuilding roguelite. The original was considered pretty good, but the sequel is described as an upgrade in several areas. It adds new gameplay features, a rich art direction, and deep build variety. The soundtrack also gets a shout-out for being pretty rad.

Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5 only, so PS4 owners should check their hardware before planning their month around it.

What else is moving on PlayStation

The free games are only part of the story this month. New games were also added to the PlayStation Game Catalog, which gives subscribers another reason to log in.

There is a catch on the other side of the ledger. More games are leaving the subscription service soon. The source specifically points to Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5, and several other titles, meaning members who want to play them have a limited window to do so.

The full November lineup

The complete list for PlayStation Plus November 2026 monthly free games is available November 3 through November 30:

Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4)

Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered (PS5, PS4)

Monster Train 2 (PS5)

Three games, three very different reasons to fire up the console. One is a long-awaited zombie slasher that finally escaped vaporware status. Another is a nostalgic trip through three Tomb Raider adventures with a modern coat of paint. The third is a roguelite that rewards tinkering with builds. Each one is free for members, and each one is available for a limited time. The smartest move is to pick a favorite, claim it early, and get started before the deadline on October’s games arrives.
