The slate pairs a recent AAA zombie shooter with a remastered Tomb Raider collection and a praised deckbuilder that players can claim from Nov. 3 through Nov. 30.

Overview

  • Sony announced the November PS Plus Essential lineup on Wednesday, Oct. 28, confirming Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2.
  • All three games will be free for PS Plus Essential subscribers to claim from Nov. 3 until Nov. 30 and remain playable only while the user keeps an active PS Plus subscription.
  • Dead Island 2 is the marquee pick and is a first‑person zombie action RPG set in a zombified Los Angeles available on PS5 and PS4.
  • Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered bundles three earlier mainline entries updated for modern consoles on PS5 and PS4, and Monster Train 2 is a single‑player roguelike deckbuilder that earned strong critical praise.
  • This monthly drop continues PlayStation’s rotating free‑games program and subscribers should note regional store timing can change when related Extra and Premium catalog updates appear in some territories.
