PlayStation Plus Essential Adds Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider Remastered for November

PlayStation has officially pulled the curtain back on its November lineup for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers. According to a report from VGC, members will be able to add three new titles to their digital libraries starting early next month. These monthly additions provide a fresh rotation of content for subscribers across the PlayStation ecosystem.

The November Lineup

The headliner for the month is the open-world horror action RPG Dead Island 2. This title will be available for both PS4 and PS5 users to claim. Joining it is the newly released Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered, a collection that brings visual upgrades to three classic entries: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: Chronicles, and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Like the headliner, this collection is available for both current and last-gen PlayStation consoles.

The final game arriving on the service is the single-player roguelike deckbuilder Monster Train 2, which is available exclusively for PS5 owners. These three titles will rotate into the service on November 3 and remain available for members to claim through November 30. Once this period ends, the collection will be replaced by a new selection of titles.

What players can do next

If you haven’t grabbed the October offerings yet, you have until November 3 to claim F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. After that date, the current slate will be cycled out to make room for the new additions. It is recommended that users check their console’s store page once the transition goes live to secure their copies of the new arrivals. Once these games are added to your library, they remain available to play as long as your PlayStation Plus subscription remains active.

Why it matters

For subscribers, this monthly update represents a significant opportunity to acquire high-profile action and strategy titles at no additional cost beyond the standard monthly subscription fee. By bundling a mix of horror, classic adventure remasters, and strategic deckbuilding titles, the service continues to offer a diverse range of genres for players on both PS4 and PS5. Because these games remain accessible in your library throughout the duration of your membership, this benefit provides ongoing value for those looking to expand their gaming collection without additional individual purchases.
