Sony has dropped the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog November 2026 lineup, and it is one of the strongest months the service has ever put together. PlayStation announced the new additions today, headlined by Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and the month also brings a pirate adventure, a beloved RPG remake, a tense survival shooter and a pair of PlayStation classics to the Extra and Premium tiers.
Most of the games arrive on November 18, with a handful rolling in on different dates through November 24. Hell Let Loose is the exception that lands first, arriving November 11 in the US and UK. Extra members get the full Game Catalog drop, while Premium members also get the two classics below. Here is everything joining, and what each game actually is.
Death Stranding 2 Leads the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog November 2026
The headline is impossible to miss. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach puts players back in the boots of Sam, played by Norman Reedus, as he travels with Lou on a mission to save humanity from extinction. The story picks up eleven months after the events of Death Stranding, as Sam is drawn into a new journey that takes him across Mexico and into Australia, expanding the Chiral Network and taking on the otherworldly BTs with the help of the Drawbridge team.
It is a huge get for the catalog. Death Stranding 2 was one of the biggest PlayStation releases of the year, and its arrival on the service means subscribers can play the full journey without buying it outright. If you never finished the first game, the sequel is also a good reason to finally understand what everyone means when they talk about delivering packages across a haunted Australia.
Every Game Joining the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in November
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5, PS4) — November 24 in the US, UK and Japan
Goro Majima wakes up on a beach in Hawaii with no memory, a new crew and a pirate ship, and the series leans all the way into it. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a full pirate adventure, with naval battles, treasure hunting and the over-the-top brawling the series is known for, wrapped around Majima trying to piece together who he is.
The November 24 date applies in the US, UK and Japan, so this is the late arrival of the month. It is also one of the most fun games in the lineup, and a very different flavour from the rest of the catalog.
Atomfall (PS5, PS4)
Rebellion’s Atomfall drops players into a fictional quarantine zone in northern England, five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster. It is a survival action game built around investigation: you explore the zone, talk to the people still living there, and piece together what actually happened, with leads that point you in different directions depending on who you trust.
Atomfall was one of the more distinctive releases of the year, and its mix of folk horror, 1960s Britain and open-ended detective work makes it a strong fit for a catalog drop where players can take a chance on something unusual.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (PS5)
Square Enix’s HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III is the definitive way to play the game that started the Erdrick trilogy. The remake keeps the classic turn-based combat and the job system that lets you build your party your way, while rebuilding the world with the HD-2D style that made Octopath Traveler and this remake look like a storybook come to life.
For anyone who has never played a Dragon Quest game, this is the perfect starting point. For everyone else, it is a beautifully made return to one of the most important RPGs ever made.
Trepang2 (PS5) — November 24 in the US and UK
Trepang2 is a fast, brutal first-person shooter from Trepang Studios that wears its love of classic action games on its sleeve. You play a super-soldier who escapes from a black site and sets out to take down the organisation that made him, with bullet time, stealth and close-quarters combat that rewards aggressive play.
It arrived on PC in 2023 to strong reviews, and its PS5 debut on November 24 in the US and UK is the console version’s big moment.
MotoGP 26 (PS5) — November 24 in the US and UK
MotoGP 26 is Milestone’s official MotoGP game, and it brings the full 2026 season to the catalog. Career mode, bike development and the championship grind are all here, and the series remains the most authentic motorcycle racing on console.
If you have ever wanted to see what it takes to win a MotoGP title, this is the game to do it in, and its November 24 arrival in the US and UK means it lands just as the season’s story settles.
Hell Let Loose (PS5) — November 11 in the US and UK, November 12 in Japan
Hell Let Loose is the earliest arrival of the month, and it is also one of the most intense. Black Matter’s 50-versus-50 World War II shooter is built around communication, with squads, tanks and artillery working together across huge maps. It is not a run-and-gun game. It is a game about holding a line, calling in support and trusting the players around you.
It lands November 11 in the US and UK, and November 12 in Japan, so subscribers can jump in a full week before the main November 18 drop.
Cricket 26 (PS5, PS4) — November 24 in the US and UK
Big Ant’s Cricket 26 brings the sport to the catalog with more than 200 licensed players, a full Career Mode and the kind of detailed batting and bowling that has made the series the go-to cricket game on console. It arrives November 24 in the US and UK.
Soul Reaver 2 (PS5, PS4) — PlayStation Plus Premium
Premium members get a PlayStation 2 classic in Soul Reaver 2. Crystal Dynamics’ 2001 sequel follows Raziel as he hunts Kain through Nosgoth, shifting between the material and spectral realms to solve puzzles and fight the creatures that stand in his way. It is a moody, atmospheric action adventure that still holds up, and its arrival on the service is a reminder of just how good the Legacy of Kain games were.
Freedom Wars Remastered (PS5, PS4) — PlayStation Plus Premium
The second Premium classic is Freedom Wars Remastered, the return of the 2014 PlayStation Vita cult favourite. In a dystopian future where simply being born is a crime, players fight giant Abductors to reduce their million-year prison sentence, with co-op multiplayer and a combat system built around grappling onto towering enemies. The remaster brings the Vita original to modern consoles, and it is a game that finally gets the audience it always deserved.
When Each Game Arrives
The main drop lands on November 18, but the dates are staggered, so keep an eye on the calendar. Hell Let Loose arrives first on November 11 in the US and UK, and November 12 in Japan. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Trepang2, MotoGP 26 and Cricket 26 all arrive on November 24, with Pirate Yakuza’s date applying in the US, UK and Japan, and the other three listed for the US and UK. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Atomfall, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Soul Reaver 2 and Freedom Wars Remastered arrive with the main November 18 drop.
The PlayStation Plus PC App Is Retiring in December
Sony also confirmed that the PlayStation Plus PC app will retire on December 10, 2026. It is a small footnote to a big month, and it only affects players who stream games on PC through the app itself. The catalog games themselves are unaffected, and the rest of the service carries on as normal.
If you have been waiting for a reason to dive back into the catalog, this is it. Death Stranding 2 alone would make this a strong month, and the rest of the lineup means there is something here for almost every kind of player.
