PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers will gain access to three games starting November 3, 2026, led by Deep Silver’s first-person zombie survival title Dead Island 2, alongside Tomb Raider IV – VI Remastered and Monster Train 2, Sony confirmed. All three titles will remain available to claim for subscribers through November 30, 2026, as reported by Push Square.
Dead Island 2 Leads November Lineup After Prior Catalog Stint
Sony is positioning Dead Island 2 as the headliner for the November 2026 monthly tier. The first-person zombie game drops players into a sun-drenched, undead-infested Los Angeles. GameSpot noted that the title was previously included in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in 2024 before being removed earlier this year. IGN highlighted the game’s bloody gore system and modded weaponry, while Push Square awarded the PS5 version a 7/10 rating in its review, praising the killer setting and brutal combat while noting uninspiring RPG elements.
Tomb Raider Remastered Trilogy Joins the Subscription
Classic Lara Croft adventures return to the platform via Tomb Raider IV – VI Remastered. The collection bundles Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider Chronicles, and Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. Push Square’s review awarded the collection a 7/10, stating that having The Angel of Darkness in a playable state makes the package worth revisiting.
Monster Train 2 Brings Card-Based Roguelike Combat
Rounding out the trio is Monster Train 2, a single-player deckbuilding roguelite. CNET described the game as a monstrous deckbuilder where players command clans of demons and former angels to stop Titans from destroying Heaven. According to Push Square, the PC version holds an 87 rating on Metacritic. IGN compared its tower defense-infused card mechanics to Slay the Spire.
