PlayStation Plus subscribers, get ready — Sony just dropped one of the most exciting monthly game lineups in months. November’s free PS Plus games deliver an unbeatable mix of heart, action, and nostalgia, led by one of the most beloved indie titles of all time: Stray.
Starting November 7, players can add Stray, Mafia: Definitive Edition, and Aliens: Fireteam Elite to their libraries — three wildly different experiences that together make this month’s lineup one of the strongest of 2025.
Stray — A Feline Adventure That Captured Millions
If you haven’t yet experienced Stray, this is your sign. Developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive, Stray took the gaming world by storm when it first launched, winning hearts (and awards) across the board.
A Cat’s-Eye View of a Neon World
In Stray, you play not as a soldier, but as a lost cat navigating a hauntingly beautiful cyberpunk city filled with robots and secrets. The low-to-the-ground perspective makes the world feel vast, alive, and deeply personal.
More Than Just Adorable
Sure, you can meow on command and nap in cozy corners — but Stray offers far more than cute moments. It’s an emotional journey of discovery and companionship, filled with environmental puzzles, stealthy exploration, and a poignant narrative about hope in forgotten places.
Critically Acclaimed
Winner of Best Independent Game at The Game Awards 2022, Stray remains one of the best indie titles ever made. Its addition to PlayStation Plus Essential makes November a must-download month for any subscriber.
Mafia: Definitive Edition — Crime, Loyalty, and the American Dream
The second addition in November’s lineup is the stunning remake of the 2002 classic Mafia, rebuilt from the ground up by Hangar 13.
Step into the shoes of Tommy Angelo, a cab driver who gets pulled into the world of organized crime in a beautifully recreated 1930s city. With its cinematic storytelling, period-accurate world, and immersive atmosphere, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a love letter to classic mob dramas like The Godfather and Goodfellas.
This is more than nostalgia — it’s a masterclass in narrative design and one of the best remakes of the last decade.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite — Co-Op Chaos and Xenomorph Mayhem
Rounding out the lineup is Aliens: Fireteam Elite, a third-person cooperative shooter set in the terrifying Aliens universe. Developed by Cold Iron Studios, this adrenaline-pumping experience lets you team up with two friends to fight through hordes of xenomorphs and other deadly creatures.
What Makes It Special
- Customizable Classes: Choose your role, upgrade your loadout, and adapt your team’s strategy.
- Relentless Action: Every mission delivers heart-pounding, movie-like intensity.
- True Co-Op Experience: Whether you’re a casual player or a die-hard Aliens fan, teamwork is key to survival.
For fans of Left 4 Dead or World War Z, this one’s an easy recommendation.
Beyond the Essentials: PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Additions
If you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium, November brings even more treasures.
Highlights include:
- Teardown – A wildly creative destruction-based puzzle game that lets you demolish anything in sight to complete clever heist missions.
- Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen – The cult-classic RPG from Capcom returns to the spotlight, just in time to build hype for Dragon’s Dogma 2.
These additions expand what’s already a stacked lineup into one of the best months PS Plus has had in a long time.
