All The PlayStation Plus November 2024 Games For Premium And Extra Subscribers
It looks like Christmas came early with PS Plus this month, as PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can grab some terrific modern and retro games starting November 19 through the Game Catalog. While it has been cycled in and out of the PS Plus library before, Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a fine game for some outlaw fun, but if you're looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat, Dying Light 2 is an effective combo of zombies and parkour action.
For fans of the Yakuza games, Like a Dragon: Ishin will also be available this month in case you want to experience an inaccurate period of history set during a crucial era for Japan. Did samurai warriors from that era really receive assistance from AEW wrestlers when they got into fights? Historical records from that time are spotty at best, so we'll never know.
A few of the other highlights this month come from smaller games that you might have missed out on when they were first released, like late-night horror-puzzle game Killer Frequency, medieval multiplayer battler Chivalry 2, and Digimon Survive's weird blend of genres. On the retro side, you can also prepare for the Soul Reaver remasters with the Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen games, and you can enlist for a tour of duty with the first two Resistance games that were originally released on PS3, albeit only via streaming.
All PS Plus subscribers can also claim this month's batch of new games, as Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Death Note Killer Within.
Grand Theft Auto 5 (PS5, PS4)
If you're one of the millions--and millions--of people who still hasn't played Grand Theft Auto 5, you've got another chance to do so before GTA 6 arrives next year. An ambitious tale of crime and chaos experienced through the eyes of three protagonists, GTA 5 raised the bar for open-world games at the time. It's still a fun sandbox full of opportunity, bank heists, and an incredible story, so check it out if you haven't done so yet.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human (PS5, PS4)
Developer Techland is one of the best studios out there when it comes to post-apocalyptic open-world games, and Dying Light 2 is a prime example of this. Like the first game, you're let loose in a city crawling with the undead and rogue-human elements, both of which are dangerous forces that you'll have to overcome with a combination of lethal tools and parkour. Techland has been steadily updating the game with a mix of free and paid-for DLC since it released the game in 2022, and in its current form, it's a lean-and-mean zombie-killing machine.
Like a Dragon: Ishin (PS5, PS4)
Long considered to be an impossible game to port outside of Japan, Like a Dragon: Ishin finally arrived on Western shores last year. A spin-off from the mainline series of Yakuza and Like a Dragon games, Ishin is set in 1860s Kyoto and recasts several familiar faces from the Yakuza series as historical figures. That's about as far as historical accuracy goes, because like other games developed by RGG Studio, this one allows you to engage in wild combat sequences as you can use swords, guns, and former AEW champions to assist you.
MotoGP 24 (PS5, PS4)
Sure, Formula One hogs the spotlight when it comes to recklessly fast motorsports, but don't discount MotoGP. You can grab this year's installment of the annual video game series for some two-wheeled fun, and like previous editions, it's an authentic replica of the real deal.
The Sims 4: Island Living Add-On (PS4)
If you happen to own The Sims 4, you can grab some DLC that allows you to take your virtual creations to the tropical island of Sulani for some breezy fun in the sun.
Digimon Survive (PS4)
Digimon--also known as Pokemon for people with good taste--makes a splash this month on PS Plus with one of the recent games from the franchise. Digimon Survive is a hybrid visual novel and tactical-RPG experience, and just like the beloved cartoon, you'll need to befriend Digimon and coach them to triumph in battles. The game has a surprisingly dark storyline and potentially grim consequences for your decisions, so prepare for a few surprises along the way.
Overcooked! All You Can Eat (PS5, PS4)
The definitive version of Overcooked, this compilation of the first two games in the series and all of its DLC is an all-you-can-play buffet of chaotic co-op fun. This edition has hundreds of levels dedicated to the service industry and all the mayhem of running a kitchen, so it'll keep you and your friends busy for a long time.
Stick Fight: The Game (PS4)
Remember those early-2000s cartoons where stick-men battled each other? Stick Fight is basically that, as this game harkens back to the golden age of Internet Flash animation, letting you duke it out with friends and strangers in a physics-based fighting game.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (PS5, PS4)
A combination of surreal and punk-fantasy influences, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos puts you in the boots of master martial artist Pseudo. A hermit living a peaceful life in the strange land of Zenozoik, a chance encounter with a small creature leads Pseudo on a quest to save the day, explore a strange land, and take on Gemini--the Mistress of the Artifacts--in this strange-looking action game.
Killer Frequency (PS5, PS4)
The year is 1987, and as the new late-night radio talk-show host, it's up to you to solve puzzles that could potentially save callers from being hunted down by a mysterious killer. A horror-comedy where every call is a high-stakes conversation, Killer Frequency has an intriguing hook, plenty of eccentric small-town personalities to chat with, and slasher-inspired puzzles to solve.
Hungry Shark World (PS4)
Explore tropical islands, sunken temples, vast cities, and frozen icebergs--but not as a rugged bipedal adventurer--in this game. Instead, you'll be a shark that's ready to take on everything that the ocean throws at you, from prehistoric monsters to submarines looking to spoil your fun.
Chivalry 2 (PS5, PS4)
A multiplayer first-person action game inspired by medieval movie battles, Chilvary 2 does a great job of making you feel like a knight as you lay siege to castles and engage in 64-player battles with an arsenal of Dark Ages weaponry.
Synapse (PSVR 2)
First-person shooters work well in virtual reality, but Synapse throws in a few roguelike elements to keep the experience fresh and replayable. Essentially Inception with even more gun battles, you'll get to wield cool psychic powers and weapons against challenging foes in Synapse, as you work your way through the twisted subconscious of your target.
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (PS5, PS4)
What better way to prepare for next month's launch of remastered Soul Reaver games than by going back to the bloody roots of this dark fantasy series? Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is a grim tale full of murder, magic, and vengeance. As Kain, you'll have to use your newly acquired vampiric powers to exact revenge against the people who left him for dead in this 1996 classic.
Blood Omen 2 (PS5, PS4)
After two Soul Reaver games starring Raziel, Blood Omen 2 saw Kain step back into the spotlight. Released for the PS2 in 2002, Blood Omen 2 combined action with puzzle-solving, and this adventure serves as a bridge between the original Blood Omen and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, albeit one that's set in an alternate timeline thanks to the events of Soul Reaver 2. Thanks a lot, time travel shenanigans.
Resistance: Fall of Man (PS5, PS4)
Closing out the new arrivals this month are the first two Resistance games. Resistance: Fall of Man first arrived on the PS3 in 2006, and follows Nathan Hale as he takes on a relentless alien force known as the Chimera that have turned the planet into a warzone.
Resistance 2 (PS5, PS4)
Continuing the fight in 2008, Resistance 2 saw Hale return to duty for another round of action. With the Chimera on the verge of victory, it's up to Hale and humanity's surviving forces to take down the alien invaders for good. Fortunately, several new weapons and skills that were introduced in this game helped to even the odds against a seemingly unstoppable force.
