PS Plus Extra & Premium In November 2026: Death Stranding 2, Pirate Yakuza, And Atomfall

Amidst the GTA 6 month, Sony is significantly boosting PlayStation Plus: The Game Catalog for Extra and Premium members in November 2026 will feature three major titles: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and Atomfall. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake was already announced, and now the complete lineup is finally here. Premium subscribers will also receive two classic re-releases.

According to the PlayStation Blog, the package will be playable starting November 17, unless otherwise specified for individual games. And that's where a second look is worthwhile, as several titles will arrive later.

Which games are coming to PS Plus Extra and Premium in November 2026?

This is the full Game Catalog lineup for Extra and Premium:

  • Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (PS5) – from November 17
  • Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5, PS4) – according to Sony, from November 24 in the USA, UK, and Japan
  • Atomfall (PS5, PS4) – from November 17
  • Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (PS5) – from November 17
  • Trepang2 – according to Sony, from November 24 in the USA and UK
  • MotoGP 26 – according to Sony, from November 24 in the USA and UK
  • Hell Let Loose – according to Sony, from November 11 in the USA and UK, from November 12 in Japan
  • Cricket 26 – The Official Game of the Ashes (PS5, PS4) – according to Sony, from November 24 in the USA and UK

The headliner is clearly Death Stranding 2. This time, Sam is tasked with connecting Australia to the chiral network, traversing a world with day-night cycles, earthquakes, sandstorms, wildfires, and the familiar timefall. Pirate Yakuza sends Goro Majima, without his memory, onto the open sea as a pirate captain – featuring battles on land and at sea. Atomfall from Rebellion, the studio behind Sniper Elite, is set five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster in a quarantine zone in Northern England: survive, scavenge, craft, trade, and talk instead of just shooting. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the re-release of the classic RPG and the narrative beginning of the Erdrick trilogy.

Additionally, there are three multiplayer and sports titles: Hell Let Loose with 50-vs-50 battles in World War II and 14 playable roles, MotoGP 26 with all official riders, teams, and tracks from the 2026 season, and Cricket 26 with a new management career mode. Trepang2 is a first-person shooter where you play as an escaped soldier with supernatural abilities on a revenge mission.

Here's the launch trailer for Death Stranding 2:

Only for Premium: Soul Reaver 2 and Freedom Wars Remastered

Subscribers with the most expensive tier will receive two additional titles:

  • Soul Reaver 2 (PS5, PS4) – the sequel to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, where you, as Raziel, hunt Kain through different eras of Nosgoth
  • Freedom Wars Remastered (PS5, PS4) – a sci-fi action RPG where you work off a million-year prison sentence through dangerous missions

Freedom Wars originally launched on PS Vita, so the remaster offers a nice nostalgic trip for fans of the handheld.

When will the new PS Plus games be playable in Germany?

For the majority, November 17 is the date. While Kotaku lists Death Stranding 2, Dragon Quest III, and Freedom Wars as early as November 10, the official PlayStation Blog states November 17 as the launch date – you should rely on that. For Pirate Yakuza, Trepang2, MotoGP 26, Cricket 26, and Hell Let Loose, Sony explicitly mentions different dates only for the USA, UK, and partly Japan. There is no separate date for Germany in the English blog post, and Sony itself points out that lineups may vary by region. So, check the PlayStation Store directly on the release day.

Important: The Game Catalog is only included in Extra and Premium; Essential members do not get access. And as always, if your subscription expires, catalog games will be locked until you renew. We already provided you with the first information about the November catalog with Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake two days ago.

PS Plus app for PC will be discontinued on December 10

Hidden within the same blog post, Sony delivers less pleasant news: The PlayStation Plus app for PC will be discontinued on December 10. This means cloud streaming of Premium games on PC will cease. Sony cites low usage as the reason – less than 0.4 percent of eligible Premium members used the app. There are no changes to membership or services on PS5 and PS4, and Sony plans to inform affected users directly.

Strong catalog for those not exclusively playing GTA 6

The timing is no coincidence: GTA 6 releases on November 19 and is likely to completely monopolize many evenings – our overview of GTA 6 preload download times details how long you should plan for the download. Nevertheless, this November is one of the strongest catalog months of the year. With Death Stranding 2, a first-party heavyweight is entering the subscription service less than two years after its PS5 release, according to Kotaku, and Pirate Yakuza and Atomfall are not mere filler, but well-received titles from the last two years. Anyone who has been hesitant about upgrading from Essential to Extra now has a compelling reason – especially since Death Stranding 2 and Dragon Quest III are perfect for the period after the initial GTA wave. The downside comes with the PC app: a Premium feature is being removed without Sony announcing any compensation.
