PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive three monthly games in November, with Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2 joining the service on Nov. 3. Members can add the games to their libraries through Nov. 30 and continue playing them while they maintain an active PlayStation Plus subscription.

The lineup applies to PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Deluxe/Premium members. Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered will be available on both PS5 and PS4, while Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5. The October monthly games — F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 — remain available through Nov. 2.

November’s monthly games

  • Dead Island 2 — PS5 and PS4
  • Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered — PS5 and PS4
  • Monster Train 2 — PS5

Dead Island 2, developed by Dambuster Studios, is set in a zombie-infested version of Los Angeles. Its setting is divided into smaller areas that players can explore while completing quests, finding recognizable landmarks and helping survivors. The game combines firearms with melee weapons and supports online co-op for up to three players.

The survival horror game previously appeared in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue in 2024. Its November inclusion moves it into the monthly games lineup, allowing members to add it to their libraries during the claim window. The game follows a group of survivors, including Hollywood celebrities, as they try to escape the outbreak across Los Angeles.

Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered collects three games from the older adventure series: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Aspyr developed and published the collection, which includes updated visuals and gameplay changes. Players can also switch between the remastered presentation and the original look.

The collection follows the addition of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered to PlayStation Plus in April. Together, the two packages cover six classic Tomb Raider games through their respective remastered releases, with the November collection focused on Lara Croft’s fourth, fifth and sixth mainline adventures.

Monster Train 2 rounds out the selection with a strategy roguelite built around defending a train traveling between Heaven and Hell. Its PS5-only availability gives the November lineup a current-generation-exclusive title alongside the two games that support both PlayStation consoles.

PlayStation Plus members can claim the November games beginning Tuesday, Nov. 3. The October selection will leave the monthly games window after Monday, Nov. 2.
