PlayStation Plus Brings Back Grand Theft Auto V And A Bunch Of Other Big Games
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.
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
- Grand Theft Auto V | PS4, PS5
- Dying Light 2: Stay Human | PS4, PS5
- Like a Dragon: Ishin | PS4, PS5
- MotoGP 24 | PS4, PS5
- The Sims 4 Island Living (Add-on only) | PS4
- Digimon Survive | PS4
- Overcooked! All You Can Eat | PS4, PS5
- Stick Fight: The Game | PS4
- Clash: Artifacts of Chaos | PS4, PS5
- Killer Frequency | PS4, PS5
- Hungry Shark World | PS4
- Chivalry 2 | PS4, PS5
PS Plus Premier
- Synapse | PS VR2
- Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain | PS4, PS5
- Blood Omen 2 | PS4, PS5
- Resistance: Fall of Man | Streaming from PS3
- Resistance 2 | Streaming from PS3
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.
