It’s that time of the month again. No, not that one. It’s the time when Sony graciously bestows upon us, the loyal PlayStation Plus subscribers, our monthly ration of “free” games. Let’s be real, we all hold our breath, hoping for a pleasant surprise and bracing for the inevitable letdown. So, what’s in the goody bag for November? Let’s just say it’s… a mixed bag. But hey, who are we to look a gift horse in the mouth, right?
Sony has pulled back the curtain on the November 2025 lineup, and starting November 4, you can add three new titles to your ever-expanding library of games you swear you’ll play someday. This month’s offerings are Stray, EA Sports WRC 24, and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. If you haven’t yet grabbed October’s games—Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3, and Cocoon—you might want to hurry. You’ve only got until next Tuesday before they vanish back into the digital ether.
What’s Actually Worth Your Download Time?
First up, we have Stray, the little indie that could. You might remember this one from its day-one debut on PlayStation Plus Extra back in July 2022, before it was cruelly snatched away a year later. Well, it’s back! For those who missed it, you get to be a cat. A cute, fluffy cat wandering through a neon-soaked, post-apocalyptic city full of robots. Your mission? Find your way back to your furry family. It’s a charming puzzle-adventure that, according to the critics, really nails the feeling of being a feline. Honestly, it’s probably the highlight of the month.
Next, we have EA Sports WRC 24. If you’re into the thrill of almost crashing a very expensive car into a tree at 100 mph, this one’s for you. It’s a polished and demanding rally racing game from Codemasters. It’s also EA’s last dance with the FIA World Rally Championship license, which has since moved on to Nacon. So, enjoy this polished piece of high-speed history while you can. It’s a solid racer, but let’s face it, sports games aren’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea.
And Now for Something Completely Different
Rounding out the trio is Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. The name says it all, doesn’t it? This is a physics-based wargame where you pit armies of wobbly, googly-eyed units against each other in chaotic, hilarious combat. If you’ve ever wanted to see a horde of cavemen take on a squadron of musketeers, this is your chance. It’s pure, unadulterated nonsense and a fantastic way to kill an afternoon. Don’t expect deep strategy, just expect to laugh as your perfectly laid plans devolve into a floppy, flailing mess.
So, is November a win for PlayStation Plus? It depends on what you’re looking for. We’ve got an emotional cat journey, a serious racing sim, and a ridiculous battle simulator. It’s a strange, eclectic mix, but at least there’s variety. As always, these games are yours to keep as long as you maintain your subscription. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some wobbly units to lead to a glorious, nonsensical victory.
