PlayStation Plus in November: Dead Island 2 Leads the New Games

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents PlayStation Plus in November: Dead Island 2 Leads the New Games.

November is just around the corner, and Sony has revealed the first part of its PlayStation Plus announcement. According to Gamekult, it will – as usual – kick off with three games for all subscribers. The first title on the list is Dead Island 2; Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered and Monster Train 2 are also part of the launch lineup.

This is a fairly clear start to the November catalog for you: The three games are not available only to individual Premium members, but to all PlayStation Plus subscribers. It starts on November 3, 2026. If you add a title to your library by November 30, according to the announcement, you can keep it for the entire duration of your subscription.

November 3 Brings Three Titles for PS5 and PS4

The platforms

Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered will be available for download on PS5 and PS4 on November 3. For Monster Train 2, the report lists PS5 only. This means that even before the month officially gets underway, it is clear which games will be available for your console.

The three releases also share the same launch date. In other words, there are no titles in this first announcement that will join the lineup later in November. The full lineup is: November 3: Dead Island 2 on PS5 and PS4, November 3: Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered on PS5 and PS4 and November 3: Monster Train 2 on PS5.

Access does not end after a single moment

November 3 is the date from which the games can be downloaded. You have until November 30 to add the respective titles to your library. Only by adding them at that point do you ensure that you can keep them for the entire duration of your subscription. For planning purposes, this means that the first part of the November offer does not begin right at the turn of the month or last for just one day.

Gamekult's full report lists the three games along with their platforms and launch dates.

Dead Island 2 Rises from Doomsday to Success

An action-survival title with strong reviews

Dead Island 2 is not the first title on the list by accident. According to Gamekult, the game made the transition from an initially derided project to a critical and commercial success. At the center of the experience are action-packed, graphic zombie violence and a solid range of gameplay mechanics. Cael already examined the title in detail in a review.

Dead Island 2 is therefore the most striking addition to the November lineup: not an exotic side release, but a game whose success Gamekult explicitly highlights. If you sort PlayStation Plus offers by familiarity, this title has a special role to play in November. However, the report does not mention a price or any specific technical details; its reliable information is the November 3 download launch, the PS5 and PS4 platforms, and the November 30 deadline for adding the game to your library.

Lara Croft Turns 30 and Monster Train 2 Builds Decks Again

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered

The second re-release has a clear reason: Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is releasing for Lara Croft's 30th birthday. This remaster focuses less on the individual adventure than on the updated trilogy. According to Gamekult, Kyujilo gave the remastered collection a balanced review, referring both to the tiring effect of the three older games and to the quality of the remaster.

Monster Train 2

The third title is a roguelite card game. Gamekult does not yet have a review or an in-depth retrospective of the game, but points to the series' previous achievements: Monster Train 2 continues to be regarded as a benchmark for deck building. Unlike Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, Monster Train 2 is listed as launching on PS5 only, according to the report.

What the First November Block Concretely Offers

Three different types of games on the same launch date

The appeal of this first block lies in its selection: Dead Island 2 delivers the action battle, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered renews an older trilogy for Lara Croft's 30th birthday, and Monster Train 2 focuses on roguelite-style deck building. All three launch on November 3, 2026 and are intended for Essential, Extra and Premium subscribers.

The announcement thus provides a clear answer to the practical question: You do not need a particular Premium subscription to play these three games. The only important point is the November 30 deadline. Anyone who adds a title to their library by then will keep it for the entire duration of their subscription.
