As every month, Sony has revealed the lineup of games PlayStation Plus Essential for novembre 2026, with three very different proposals spanning various genres, including classic adventure and roguelite strategy.
Let's find out together!
PlayStation Plus Essential, November 2026
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered (PlayStation 4 and 5)
Aspyr brings to modern consoles three classic chapters of the iconic archaeologist Lara Croft, namely Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider Chronicles and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. The special feature of this collection is that it consists of faithful re-releases of the originals, which introduce graphic, performance, and resolution improvements, while preserving gameplay and levels unchanged. This is certainly a great opportunity to discover or revisit an important phase of the Tomb Raider saga, with a package that also includes one of the most debated titles, The Angel of Darkness, which at the time failed to fully convince both the public and critics.
Dead Island 2 (PlayStation 4 and 5)
Among the most interesting titles in the lineup stands out Dead Island 2, the second numbered chapter of the saga, released after almost a decade of development, completed by Dambuster Studios and published by Deep Silver in 2023. The zombie apocalypse shifts from the tropical islands of the first chapter to Los Angeles, which in the game is called HELL-A, and players can choose their character from among the six available to explore the city, gather materials to defend themselves, and, above all, try to survive the hordes of the undead they will encounter along the way. The Dead Island saga is known for the first-person combat, which combines melee combat with firearms, but survival elements and an engaging storyline are not missing either either.
Monster Train 2 (PlayStation 5)
Monster Train 2, developed by Shiny Shoe, closes November’s collection, revisiting the roguelite deck-building formula of the first chapter and enhancing it with new cards, upgrades, clans, and bosses. Players lead a wild alliance of former angels and demons, who have united to conquer powerful entities that have taken control of Paradise, namely the Titans. To progress in the game and ride the train as long as possible, players must upgrade spells, collect artifacts, and combine resources to create winning combinations and tackle increasingly challenging challenges. This is certainly a great opportunity to try the game, with the DLC The Punished also set to release next 10 November.
PlayStation Plus Essential, November 2026 – Conclusion
Even this month Sony has hit the mark, with three offerings spanning classic adventure, survival action, and roguelike strategy — a lineup capable of satisfying very different tastes. The games will be available for redemption starting from 3 November and will remain accessible until 30 November; titles are available to all subscribers at the Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers.
