Sony announced on November 10 that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach joins the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on November 17, putting a flagship first-party title in the subscription eight months after its PS5 launch.
Kojima Productions’ sequel arrived in March 2026 and still lists at full price on Steam, where the PC version sells for 79.99 euros. On PlayStation, the Game Catalog offer covers the PS5 version, according to Sony’s announcement on PlayStation.Blog, written by Adam Michel, Senior Director of Content Acquisition and Operations at Sony Interactive Entertainment. “This month, embark on an inspiring mission of human connection in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach,” Michel wrote, naming it first in the November lineup.
What the fast turnaround signals
A flagship first-party release entering the catalog this quickly is unusual, which makes November an unusually strong month for Extra and Premium subscribers. Anyone who bought Death Stranding 2: On the Beach at launch saw a 20% discount appear in the Steam Autumn Sale on October 2; the PS Plus arrival now gives subscribers the game as part of a monthly fee. Sony has not said how long it will stay in the catalog.
The rest of November’s catalog
The full lineup is available from November 17 unless otherwise noted, and includes Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Atomfall and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, three recent full-priced third-party releases. The catalog has been adding full-priced third-party releases all year; the May 2025 catalog update, for instance, brought Battlefield titles to the service. Hell Let Loose arrives a day early, on November 11 in the US and UK and November 12 in Japan. Premium members also get Soul Reaver 2 and Freedom Wars Remastered this month.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Trepang2, MotoGP 26 and Cricket 26 land on November 24 in the US and UK, with Pirate Yakuza also dated November 24 in Japan. The announcement carries one service change: Sony will retire the PlayStation Plus app on PC on December 10, saying fewer than 0.4% of eligible Premium members use it.
