PlayStation Plus is undergoing several major changes in November, from the announcement of the closure of its PC cloud streaming app to the addition and removal of several high-profile games. Indeed, it is a very busy month for the platform, and one that users should approach with equal levels of excitement and trepidation. This is especially true of November 17, a day that will prove to be both a huge win for many PlayStation Plus users and a frustrating experience for many others. Alongside the aforementioned closing of a major PS Plus feature, November will mark the departure of some of its very best games, all of which are leaving for one specific reason. However, November 17 will also see a huge wealth of titles be added to the service, many of which have never been on PS Plus before, and several of which are fairly recent releases. For most PlayStation Plus fans, this will all feel rather familiar, but it is still worth paying attention to, especially for those who love Rockstar's games. On November 17, 2026, PlayStation Plus is getting 10 brand-new games. This huge roster of new titles includes familiar favorites and releases from as recent as 2025. If you're already subscribed to PlayStation Plus, especially Extra, then sit back and relax as the influx of exciting new titles practically falls into your lap. If you're not, then November may be the month to subscribe, as many of these games look set to be some of the best PlayStation Plus titles available. The games being added include: PlayStation Plus Extra Atomfall Cricket 26 Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Hell Let Loose Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii MotoGP 26 Trepang2 PlayStation Plus Premium Freedom Wars Remastered Soul Reaver 2 Of course, the big additions include Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Atomfall, two exceptional titles that offer vastly unique experiences. Frankly, the whole selection of new PlayStation Plus titles shares that in common, the vast breadth of genres on offer proving to be a huge boon to the service. If you have PlayStation Plus Premium, then the addition of these two lesser-known cult classic titles is also a huge win, especially Soul Reaver 2, which is an underrated PlayStation 2 game. However, as much as these new games are absolutely a massive win for PlayStation Plus subscribers everywhere, November 17 is also a dark day for PlayStation Plus, as it marks the departure of two great Rockstar titles. In preparation for Grand Theft Auto 6 releasing a mere two days later, both Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are leaving PlayStation Plus. That means, if you want to play them, now is absolutely the time to do so. Considering that those who pre-order Grand Theft Auto 6 will be getting a month of GTA+ for free, a subscription service that grants its subscribers access to GTA 5 and RDR2, it makes sense that the aforementioned games are leaving PlayStation Plus. Still, that is the nature of this platform: its revolving door of games constantly seeing exciting new titles replace fan-favorite ones. Regardless, whether you're excited about Death Stranding 2 and the numerous other new games being added to PlayStation Plus, or sad about Rockstar's masterpieces leaving, November 17 is the day to remember.
