PS Plus Essential November 2025 Available Now

Today's the day for the penultimate PS Plus Essential update of 2025, bringing another three PS5, PS4 games to current members. You've got until 2nd December to redeem the following, with availability now live in the UK and Europe, and the USA gaining access later in the day:

Since cat simulator Stray has already been on PS Plus Extra, meaning the headline game is something a lot of PS5, PS4 owners will likely have already played, the reaction to this month's selection hasn't been particularly positive.

This was reflected in our usual monthly Poll, asking for your thoughts on the lineup. Of over 3,200 votes, 39% of readers responded it's a "crap selection", while 23% think the games on offer "could be better". It's a big downgrade compared to October 2025's response, where the inclusion of Alan Wake 2 made the selection a winner.

As long as you redeem the three titles on offer and maintain a subscription to PS Plus — at any tier — you'll always have access to the three PS Plus Essential games. This includes when they're replaced by the December 2025 lineup on 2nd December.
