Sony has not yet revealed the PlayStation Plus Essential free games for November 2026. The monthly lineup typically arrives in the final week of the preceding month, meaning an announcement is likely imminent. Subscribers should watch official PlayStation channels for confirmation.
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers gain access to Mafia: The Old Country on October 20 alongside Horizon Forbidden West and the new co-op looter shooter Mycopunk. Premium members also receive classic titles Dino Crisis 2 and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition this month.
Nine games are departing Xbox Game Pass on October 15, 2026, headlined by the 2025 Game of the Year winner Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The turn-based RPG has been available since its April 2025 launch and will leave after nearly eighteen months on the service. Subscribers have until mid-October to finish these titles or purchase them at a discount.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a GOTY-winning turn-based RPG with novel dodge and parry mechanics, is leaving Xbox Game Pass on October 15 after over a year in the library. Subscribers have under two weeks to experience its twist ending and expanded content before it departs alongside eight other titles including Pacific Drive and A Plague Tale Requiem.
Sony has announced a price increase for PlayStation Plus Essential, its lowest subscription tier, citing "ongoing market conditions". The change, effective in select regions, raises monthly and three-month subscriptions to $10.99 and $27.99, respectively. Existing subscribers are unaffected unless their subscription lapses or changes.
