GTA V and Two BAFTA Hit Indies Lead PlayStation Plus Catalog in November

Grand Theft Auto V is back in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog this November, alongside a lineup that’s heavy on acclaimed indie power and fresh genre picks. All of this lands on November 18 for PS Plus Extra and Premium members, and it’s one of the service’s most attention-grabbing updates in recent memory.

GTA V Returns as November’s Headliner

GTA V has a knack for making a splash on PlayStation Plus, and Sony’s brought it back for its third encore. The open-world giant was last seen in the catalog during December 2023 and November 2024, with each reappearance lasting about half a year. Whether you’re diving into Los Santos for the first time or staging yet another heist, this is your window to revisit Rockstar’s chaotic masterpiece, though history suggests it might not stick around forever.

BAFTA Winners and Indie Darlings Join the Club

November’s lineup isn’t resting on franchise power alone. Thank Goodness You’re Here and Still Wakes the Deep are joining the party, bringing BAFTA pedigree right into the catalog.

First, there’s Thank Goodness You’re Here, a British comedy adventure that’s been making waves for its sharp wit and unique art direction. If you’ve been looking for a game that puts humor front and center, this is the one.

Then, The Chinese Room, known for narrative-driven hits, delivers Still Wakes the Deep, a first-person horror that’s already won hearts and awards for its genuinely haunting atmosphere. These two titles land alongside some crowd-pleasers in the indie space, proving Sony’s got its finger on the pulse when it comes to standout storytelling.

More Genres, More Surprises: Every Game Hitting PlayStation Plus in November

November’s refresh is stacked beyond the headliners. Here’s everything else making the cut:

• Pacific Drive – Survival gets a road-trip twist with Kepler’s unique blend of driving and danger.
• Insurgency: Sandstorm – Jump into tactical, multiplayer shooter action, available in both PvP and co-op flavors.
• The Talos Principle 2 – Sharpen your mind with intricate first-person puzzles and thought-provoking narrative.
• Monster Jam Showdown – Get behind the wheel in this all-out monster truck racing experience.
• MotoGP 25 – The newest entry in the premier motorcycle racing franchise lands just in time for speed freaks.

And for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, there’s a treat: Tomb Raider: Anniversary arrives as a remake, playable on both PS5 and PS4. It’s a solid pull for anyone in the mood for classic adventuring with a modern engine. All these titles are yours come November 18, provided you’re signed up at the Extra or Premium level.

Last Month’s Lineup and a Look Ahead

For a quick context check, October’s catalog delivered Silent Hill 2, Until Dawn, Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1, and V Rising, while Tekken 3 was the Premium-only exclusive. This month, the PlayStation Plus Essential roster is already live, with Stray still available, and newcomers EA Sports WRC 24 (on PS5) and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (on both PS4 and PS5) joining the rotation.

Sony did sound a heads-up for the future. Starting in January 2026, the company will be pivoting its PlayStation Plus benefits away from PS4 games, saying “PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit” of monthly offerings. The focus shifts fully to PS5; a move that’s been a long time coming as player bases transition to the latest console.

Bottom line: November’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog combines blockbuster firepower with BAFTA-winning indie charm and fresh genre picks. Whether you’re looking for laughs, screams, or high-speed chases, this month’s update has you covered.
