PlayStation Plus November 2026 Games Predictions and Dates

Sony has not yet announced the PS+ Plus November 2026 monthly games lineup, but the pattern points to a reveal on Wednesday, October 28 and a release on Tuesday, November 3. No credible leaks have surfaced as of October 26, so PlayStation Plus subscribers are left with predictions ranging from Stellar Blade to Street Fighter 6, while a long list of Extra and Premium games, including GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, is set to leave on November 17. Here is what is confirmed, what is predicted, and what to do before the October games disappear.

When Will Sony Reveal the November Games?

Per Forbes' Erik Kain, Sony typically reveals the upcoming PlayStation Plus Essential lineup on the last Wednesday before the games release, with the new games becoming available on the first Tuesday of the month. That puts the November reveal on Wednesday, October 28 and the release on Tuesday, November 3, for what Kain expects to be three, or perhaps four, essential monthly games. GamingBible reaches the same dates from Sony's previous social media schedule, and Sony usually publishes the full list of games on the PlayStation Blog.

The Extra and Premium catalog follows its own rhythm. Forbes and GamingBible both expect the next catalog reveal on Wednesday, November 11, with the games arriving Tuesday, November 17, the same day the departing games leave the service.

October's latest monthly games are F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2, a mix of racing, tense encounters against monsters and rival hunters, and alien-blasting co-op. Forbes notes you can claim all three until Monday, November 2, so add them to your game library before then.

Leaks and Rumors

So far, Forbes has not found any credible leaks for November's Essential lineup, which leaves the PS Plus free games for the month a mystery. If something legitimate does leak, the most likely source is billbil-kun at Dealabs, who has accurately revealed numerous PlayStation Plus lineups ahead of Sony's announcements over the years. Those leaks sometimes arrive almost a week early, and other months nothing surfaces until the day before.

Past lineups offer a loose guide. November 2022 brought Nioh 2, LEGO Harry Potter Collection, and Heavenly Bodies, 2023 brought Mafia II: Definitive Edition, Dragon Ball: The Breakers, and Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and 2024 brought Ghostwire: Tokyo, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2, and Death Note Killer Within. Last year's lineup was Stray, EA Sports WRC 24, and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. Forbes sees no obvious November formula, only a little something for everyone, and this year's tally supports the three-or-four estimate, with four games in February, March, and September and three in the other months.

Predictions

Kain's headline prediction is Stellar Blade. He argues Shift Up's action game has been out for more than two years, which puts it in the window where a major PS5 exclusive could plausibly land on Essential, and calls it the perfect free game to kick off the holiday season. His other picks are Street Fighter 6, which might have been timed to the new movie in October if Sony wanted to cross-promote, and the puzzle game Blue Prince, which is already on Extra but could move to Essential as other games have before.

Game Rant has a different pick. Its wish list singles out Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, since the game's second year begins on November 3, the same day the new Essential games would arrive, with a Duel Mode and Bayonetta as a free unlockable racer. Its Extra wish list adds Street Fighter 6, Persona 3 Reload, Armored Core 6, Stellar Blade, and Parasite Eve for Premium. All of these are predictions and wishes, not verified leaks.

Stellar Blade is the most-predicted pick, but nothing confirms it. Other long-running wishes in Forbes' list include Resident Evil 4 Remake, which was Kain's October prediction and did not pan out, Atomfall, and Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, plus Spider-Man 2, Elden Ring, Death Stranding, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Kingdom Come Deliverance II, though Kain describes some as basically asking Sony nicely.

What Are the Predicted Free Games for PS Plus in November 2026?

The predicted free games for PS Plus in November 2026 are Stellar Blade, Street Fighter 6, and Blue Prince per Forbes, plus Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on Game Rant's wish list. Sony has confirmed none, and the real lineup is expected October 28.

Is There a Wishlist for PS Plus Monthly Games for November 2026?

Yes. Forbes' wishlist includes Resident Evil 4 Remake, Atomfall, Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, Spider-Man 2, Elden Ring, Death Stranding, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Kingdom Come Deliverance II, while Game Rant's wish list adds Persona 3 Reload, Armored Core 6, and Parasite Eve for Extra and Premium.

What Each PlayStation Plus Tier Includes

PlayStation Plus today runs on three tiers, and the PlayStation Plus Essential plan still carries great benefits. Per Sony's own tier breakdowns, Essential covers the monthly games, online multiplayer, exclusive discounts, exclusive content packs such as the seasonal HorrorFest DLC packs, cloud storage, and Share Play. Each PlayStation Plus membership plan builds on the one below it, which shapes the whole PlayStation Plus experience and the PlayStation Plus benefits you get.

PlayStation Plus Extra adds the Game Catalog, a rotating library of hundreds of PS4 and PS5 games you can play while your PlayStation Plus membership is active. PS Plus Premium adds the Classics Catalog, with classic games from PlayStation history, Game Trials that give members a trial run of select titles, and cloud streaming for select games. Sony says a PS Plus Premium membership is required to stream on a PS5 or the PS Portal remote player, with a minimum internet speed of 5 Mbps to start a session and 13 to 15 Mbps for 1080p depending on which Sony page you read, and full PS Plus terms apply at playstation.com/legal.

Games Leaving PS Plus in November 2026

The bigger news is what is leaving. ComicBook reports that PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will lose 11 games on November 17, including Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, and ThisGenGaming counts 12 by adding Thank Goodness You're Here. The other departures include Football Manager 26, The Talos Principle 2, Cricket 24, Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Hotshot Racing, Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair, Rapala Fishing Pro Series, and Yet Another Zombie Defense HD.

ComicBook notes the Rockstar games leave just two days before GTA VI launches on November 19, and ThisGenGaming adds that Rockstar is known to keep these PS Plus games on the service for around three months before removing them.

What Is the Community Reaction to the November 2026 PS Plus Game Lineup?

There is no November lineup to react to yet, since Sony is expected to reveal the Essential games October 28. Community reaction focuses on the November 17 departures, with Screen Rant reporting frustration over losing games and Red Dead Redemption 2 repeatedly cycling in and out of the catalog.

What Is New in PS Plus Extra and Premium Right Now?

October's catalog additions arrived on October 20, and Men's Journal lists Horizon Forbidden West, Mafia: The Old Country, Mycopunk, Monster Energy Supercross 25, Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn Edition, Poppy Playtime Chapter 2, and The Midnight Walk among the new games. Mycopunk sends corporate hazard crews on dangerous assignments against fungal aliens in four-player co-op, and Premium members also got Dino Crisis 2 and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition from the Classics Catalog.

ComicBook adds that Horizon Forbidden West carries an 88 on Metacritic, earned seven Game Awards nominations, and costs $40 in the PlayStation Store. For something newer, it points to Square Enix's new PS5 RPG, which carries a 96 out of 100 on the PlayStation Store but is not free. Game Trials also began October 20 for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Mortal Shell II, Valheim, The Sinking City 2, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, and Directive 8020.

Prices and Tiers

Per Forbes, US pricing for Essential is $10.99 monthly, $27.99 quarterly, and $79.99 yearly. Extra costs $16.99 monthly, $43.99 quarterly, and $134.99 yearly, and Premium costs $19.99 monthly, $54.99 quarterly, and $159.99 yearly. Those price changes took effect earlier this year for monthly and three-month plans, while annual subscriptions stayed unchanged.

What Happens After the Reveal

Sony's official announcement on October 28 will settle next month's Essential lineup, and the catalog reveal follows on November 11. With GTA VI arriving November 19, the lineup and catalog changes land in the weeks right before one of the year's biggest launches. Until then, treat every named game as a prediction, claim October's three games before November 2, and check the PlayStation Blog for the official list.

How Can I Get the Most Out of My PlayStation Plus Subscription in November 2026?

To get the most out of PlayStation Plus in November 2026, claim October's monthly games by November 2, play GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 before November 17, try Premium Game Trials, and consider waiting to renew for a possible Black Friday discount, per PlayStation LifeStyle.
