Stray is set to become free for PS Plus Essential games, although it's treading on the territory of some other fantastic games that you'll want to download immediately. PS Plus has been a decent bargain for subscribers for a while now, and 2025 has shown that players aren't being short-changed, particularly in light of the Xbox Game Pass price increase which Microsoft has not reversed. Players are being treated to a steady stream of new games, with the PS Plus Extra and Premium October 2025 games offering the likes of Silent Hill 2 and Until Dawn's 2024 remake, while the PS Plus Essential October lineup also celebrated the spooky season with the release of Alan Wake 2 . Players have been very fortunate, and it seems there are more games on the horizon. Although the PS Plus Essential games for November have been officially announced, and while the titles may not be as high-profile as previous offerings, we're certainly not going to turn our noses up at some free new games to play. Stray is the star of the service this month, a blockbuster that felt like one of the first to truly utilise its home hardware during this console generation, alongside Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and EA Sports WRC 24 . Not everyone will fully support this drop, but it's still useful to know exactly when it's coming so players can add all of last month's games to their libraries before they go back behind a paywall. So, when exactly is the PS Plus Essential November 2025 release time? Here's what you need to know. The PS Plus Essential November 2025 games are set to be released at 2am PST / 5am EST / 10am GMT on Tuesday, November 4 . This information comes from the consistent launch times of the PS Plus games each month, with the previous games leaving the service an hour before this. This means that you'll have until 1am PST / 4am EST / 9am GMT to download Alan Wake 2 , Goat Simulator 3 and Cocoon before they revert back to their original prices. These are three games you definitely don't want to miss out on, so make sure to get involved before it's too late.
