The PS Plus Extra and Premium games for November 2026 are official, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is the headliner. Sony is adding 10 games to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in three waves: Hell Let Loose on Nov. 11, the bulk of the lineup on Nov. 17, and four more on Nov. 24. The same Nov. 17 update also removes GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 from the catalog, two days before GTA 6 launches. Here’s the full list with dates, what you need to play each game, and what you should finish before it leaves.
Sony announced the lineup on Nov. 10 on the PlayStation Blog. It says the full lineup is playable from Nov. 17 unless a different date is given. Here is how the dates break down in the US and UK, based on that post:
The Blog lists the Nov. 24 dates for Trepang2, MotoGP 26 and Cricket 26 as US and UK dates only, so availability in other regions can differ. Push Square lays out the same three-wave schedule. Game Rant puts the combined retail value at $484.21, though that is its own estimate, not a Sony figure.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is Hideo Kojima’s sequel, and it puts Sam on a mission to connect Australia to the Chiral Network. Sony’s description mentions day and night cycles, earthquakes, sandstorms, forest fires and Timefall, the rain that instantly ages whatever it touches. Game Rant notes it is joining PS Plus less than 17 months after its original release and is the highest-rated game in this month’s batch. It’s PS5 only, so PS4 owners on Extra won’t be able to play it.
GameSpot framed it as an alternative for anyone who doesn’t want to spend the month in GTA 6’s city: a slower, stranger game about delivering cargo across a hostile landscape.
Goro Majima, with no memory of his past, becomes a pirate captain and fights on land and sea while hunting for treasure. It’s on both PS5 and PS4 and arrives Nov. 24, a week after most of the lineup.
Rebellion’s survival-action game is set five years after the real Windscale nuclear disaster in northern England. You explore a quarantine zone full of cults, rogue government agents and odd characters, and you can fight, trade or talk your way through it.
Square Enix’s remake of the classic RPG is the start of the Erdrick Trilogy story. It’s a good pick for a long, low-stress game during a busy month, and it’s PS5 only.
Premium members also get Soul Reaver 2, the sequel to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and Freedom Wars Remastered, the prison-sentence action game. These two need the Premium tier, not Extra.
The Nov. 17 update also removes games. According to Push Square’s list from the Last Chance to Play section, these 11 games leave PS Plus Extra and Premium on Nov. 17:
The exact list differs by region, and some outlets also list Thank Goodness You’re Here!, so check the Last Chance to Play section on your own console. Extra catalog games stop working for subscribers once they leave, and you’ll have to buy them to keep playing.
The timing is not subtle. GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leave two days before Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Nov. 19. If you’re getting ready for that, our guide to the GTA 6 pre-load times and 212GB file size covers what to download and when.
Essential members still have this month’s monthly games: Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2. They can be claimed until Nov. 30, according to the PlayStation Blog. Polygon reports Essential costs $10.99 a month or $79.99 a year after the price rise in May.
The same Blog post says Sony will retire the PlayStation Plus app on PC on Dec. 10. Sony says fewer than 0.4% of eligible Premium members used it, and the PC cloud streaming app won’t be available after that date. Memberships and benefits on PS5 and PS4 are not affected, and Sony says it will notify affected users directly. If you stream PlayStation games to other screens, Sony’s handheld is still an option. See our look at the new PlayStation Portal model with internal storage, and our explainer on how cloud gaming is changing entertainment.
Xbox has also had a busy November, with a 25th anniversary week of Game Pass additions. If you play on both consoles, our list of every Game Pass game from Nov. 10–15 shows what’s on the other side.
Nov. 17, 2026, for PS Plus Extra and Premium members on PS5.
No. It’s part of the Game Catalog, which needs Extra or Premium. Essential members get Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered and Monster Train 2 this month.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leave the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog on Nov. 17, 2026.
Sony’s announcement gives the dates but not unlock times. On the listed date, check the PlayStation Plus section on your console.
No. Sony lists it for Nov. 24 in the US, UK and Japan.
We’ll update this if Sony changes any dates or adds games. Sources: PlayStation Blog (Game Catalog), PlayStation Blog (Monthly Games), Push Square, Push Square (removals), GameSpot, Polygon, Game Rant.
