PlayStation has announced its November Monthly Games for PlayStation Plus: Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered and Monster Train 2. They are playable from Tuesday, Nov. 3 to Monday, Nov. 30, according to the PlayStation Blog. The post went up Oct. 28 at 11:31 a.m. ET.

The November lineup

  • Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4): a zombie-slaying RPG set in a mutated Los Angeles the game calls "HELL-A," with brutal melee combat and inventive weapons. The post lists online three-player co-op.
  • Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered (PS5, PS4): a collection of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness. You can play with the original polygonal models or swap to remastered graphics at any time.
  • Monster Train 2 (PS5 only): a single-player deckbuilding roguelite with five new clans and three vertical levels.

What to do

  • By Monday, Nov. 2: add October's Monthly Games if you have not yet: F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2.
  • From Tuesday, Nov. 3: the November games are available to add. They are playable through Monday, Nov. 30.

Who is affected

  • PS5 owners can play all three November games.
  • PS4 owners get Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered. Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5 only.

What we checked

The blog calls these PlayStation Plus Monthly Games. It does not state a price or which membership tier includes them, so we are not guessing. The post's key art lists the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, but check your plan on PlayStation's own PlayStation Plus page before you count on the games. We have not played any of them, and everything above comes from the PlayStation Blog post.
