The last few months of PlayStation Plus’ subscription catalog have been a rollercoaster ride of great new additions and some big departures. November continues the whiplash with a bunch of big names joining the paid service including Grand Theft Auto V and Dying Light 2. If you’ve somehow managed to go 11 years without ever dipping your toes into Rockstar Games’ open-world hit, opportunity has once again come knocking.

This Cool New Retro Console Is A Great Gift For Atari Fans

Sony announced the full list of new PS Plus games for November 2024 in both the Extra and Premier tiers—the more expensive all-you-can-eat buffets rather than the monthly a-la-carte deals. In addition to GTA V and the parkour zombie RPG, Like a Dragon: Ishin and Digimon Survive are also joining the Netflix-like library, while Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Resistance: Fall of Man join the ranks of the PlayStation classics section.

Here’s the full list:

PS Plus Extra

PS Plus Premier

Personally, I’m most excited for Digimon Survive. The 2022 hybrid between a visual novel and tactical RPG got mixed reviews, including from Kotaku, but I’m looking forward to giving it a low-stakes, no-strings-attached second chance. Blood Omen 1 and 2 are also arriving just in time for the Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered collection next month, providing much-needed backstory to the PS2 follow-ups.

It’s also nice to see the first two Resistance shooters—memorable games from Insomniac about a mid-WWII alien invasion—joining the classics collection, though having them relegated to cloud streaming because of the lack of PS3 backwards compatibility or emulation remains a drag. We probably won’t see it anytime soon, but the whole Resistance trilogy deserves a remaster collection on modern platforms.
