Dead Island 2 heads November’s PS Plus games, so claim October’s by Monday

“Dead Island 2”, “Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered” and “Monster Train 2” are the PS Plus November 2026 monthly games, and PlayStation Plus members can add them to their libraries from Tuesday, November 3 until Monday, November 30. Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed the lineup on October 28 in a PlayStation Blog post by Adam Michel, its senior director of content acquisition and operations.

Before the new games arrive, there’s a deadline on the current batch. Members have until Monday, November 2 to claim October’s games, “F1 25”, “Hunt: Showdown 1896” and “Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2”, which NaijaGamer covered in its PS Plus October 2026 rundown. Two of November’s three titles run on both PS4 and PS5, so last-generation owners get more from this month than they did from October’s PS5-heavy list.

Dead Island 2 is the one to play with friends

“Dead Island 2” is an action RPG set in a zombie-overrun Los Angeles that the game calls “HELL-A”, and PlayStation highlights its close-range melee combat, its quests and online co-op for up to three players. It’s the headline pick of the month, and it works solo, but the co-op is where most squads will want to spend their time. Because that mode depends on a steady connection, it’s worth reading our guide to lowering gaming ping on MTN, Airtel, Glo and T2 before you invite friends into a session.

Tomb Raider fans get three classic adventures in one package

“Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered” collects the series’ Darkness Trilogy, made up of “The Last Revelation”, “Chronicles” and “The Angel of Darkness”. PlayStation says you can switch between the original polygon-era models and the remastered graphics at any moment, which makes the package as much a history lesson for younger players as a nostalgia trip for anyone who played these games on the original PlayStation and PS2. All three are single-player adventures, so the quality of your connection won’t shape how they play once the download is done.

Monster Train 2 is PS5-only, and it’s built for short sessions

“Monster Train 2” is a single-player deckbuilding roguelite in which you command clans of former angels and demons through Hell, Heaven and the Abyss. PlayStation lists five new clans and three vertical levels to defend, and it’s the only game this month that won’t run on PS4. Roguelites are designed around runs you can finish and restart, so it suits evenings when you only have an hour, or a power supply you don’t fully trust.

Claim now, download later if your SSD is saving room for GTA 6

PlayStation doesn’t run a dedicated Nigerian PlayStation Store, so most players here use accounts registered in regions such as the UK or US. Monthly games are usually the same across regions, but check that all three appear in your own store once November 3 arrives. Adding a game to your library doesn’t download it, and claimed games stay playable for as long as your PS Plus subscription is active, so you can claim all three during the window and download them when space and data allow.

That matters this month, because Rockstar opens pre-loading for “Grand Theft Auto VI” on November 12, and the PS5 version has been reported at about 210GB, as we explained in our GTA 6 pre-load guide. Downloading “Monster Train 2” or the Tomb Raider collection first and leaving “Dead Island 2” until after you’ve made room is a sensible way to play this month’s games without squeezing your storage before GTA 6 lands on November 19.

Your two jobs this week are to claim “F1 25”, “Hunt: Showdown 1896” and “Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2” before Monday night, and then add November’s three games to your library from Tuesday, even if you won’t download them until later in the month.
