Dead Island 2 official promotional art, supplied through PlayStation Blog.
PlayStation Plus swaps its Monthly Games on November 3, 2026. Dead Island 2 and Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered are listed for PS4 and PS5; Monster Train 2 is listed for PS5. Members still have through November 2 to add October's selection.
Two dates, two different jobs
November's selection runs from November 3 through November 30. Before that handover, the outgoing claim list is F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2. The announcement gives calendar dates rather than an exact regional switch-over hour. Check the offer shown on your account instead of treating midnight in your own time zone as a guaranteed deadline.
The announced platform split
| Game | Platform |
|---|---|
| Dead Island 2 | PS4 + PS5 |
| Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered | PS4 + PS5 |
| Monster Train 2 | PS5 |
The PS4 and PS5 split
A PS4 owner has two compatible additions in the announced lineup. A PS5 owner has all three listed options. Dead Island 2 offers a zombie action RPG, Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered collects Lara's next three classic adventures, and Monster Train 2 is a single-player deckbuilding roguelite. These are different kinds of evenings, not a ranked list. Platform eligibility is the first filter; your preferred genre comes next.
Monthly Games are not the whole catalog
Sony describes Monthly Games as games available to download and play at no extra cost during a PlayStation Plus membership. Its support page separately identifies the Game Catalog with Extra, and the Game and Classics Catalogs with Premium. Do not read this monthly announcement as a complete list of everything a higher tier includes, or as a permanent purchase detached from membership.
Check the entitlement before downloading
Sony's instructions place Monthly Games inside the PlayStation Plus area on both consoles; the PS4 flow includes Add to Library before downloading. Remote downloads are also supported through a browser or the PlayStation App. The useful action today is to review the outgoing selection, then return for the incoming games once their offers appear. This report uses the US-facing announcement and support pages. Account-region offers and the exact changeover should be checked on your own store; no subscription purchase or game quality verdict is implied.
