November’s PS Plus catalog gives you a choice between reconnecting Australia, investigating a British quarantine zone and sailing into trouble with Goro Majima. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Atomfall and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii lead the additions, alongside Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake and six more games.
Most arrive on November 17. Several have a later November 24 date in the US and UK, while Hell Let Loose has an earlier start in those markets. Here’s the full lineup, followed by a quick guide to choosing your next download.

What Should You Play First?
For a long journey: Death Stranding 2 or Dragon Quest III. Death Stranding 2 sends Sam across Australia to extend the Chiral Network, with infrastructure-building and dangerous terrain shaping the trip. If you missed the launch-date announcement, our SXSW announcement story covers the sequel’s launch details and trailer. Dragon Quest III offers a different kind of expedition: a turn-based RPG following Ortega’s child on a quest to defeat Baramos. Both catalog versions are PS5-only.
For a mystery closer to home: Atomfall. Rebellion’s survival-action game puts you in a fictional quarantine zone in northern England, five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster. Scavenging, crafting, bartering and talking sit alongside fighting, making it a useful pick if you want an investigation rather than another straightforward shooting campaign.

For a change of pace: Pirate Yakuza. Goro Majima has lost his memory and reinvented himself as a pirate captain, with combat on land and at sea. We covered its demo reveal in our February 2025 State of Play roundup. This month’s catalog release is November 24 in the US, UK and Japan, so players there have an extra week to wait.
For combat or competition: Trepang2 pairs gunplay with supernatural abilities, while Hell Let Loose centres on 50-versus-50 World War II battles with infantry, tanks and artillery. MotoGP 26 and Cricket 26 provide the sporting options. Premium subscribers also get Raziel’s time-travelling pursuit of Kain in Soul Reaver 2 and the prison-sentence premise of Freedom Wars Remastered, where dangerous missions offer a route towards freedom.
Before You Buy or Upgrade
These are catalog additions, separate from the Essential tier’s monthly games. Catalog access requires an eligible active subscription and lasts while a game remains in the service; downloading a title does not make it a permanent purchase.
Check the PlayStation Store listing using your own account before buying a game separately or upgrading for it. Sony says catalog and Premium/Deluxe lineups vary by region, so the US and UK dates in the table do not automatically apply to Czech accounts or other markets. Match the console version and subscription tier as well as the date.
For PS4 owners, the Extra/Premium choices in this announcement are Atomfall, Pirate Yakuza and Cricket 26; the two Premium additions also list PS4 versions. Death Stranding 2, Dragon Quest III, Trepang2, MotoGP 26 and Hell Let Loose are listed for PS5.
