Sony has confirmed what titles will be coming to PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra this November – check out the full list below.

PlayStation Plus is similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, with subscribers able to access a library of games and take advantage of a variety of online features across three different tiers.

Essential gives players access to a select number of games that rotate monthly, as well as enabling online multiplayer for £6.99 a month. Extra is available for £10.99 and gives subscribers access to Game Catalogue, a library of “hundreds of games from genre-defining blockbusters to innovative indies”. Premium adds more classic titles and game trials to the offering for £13.49 a month.

Earlier this month, Sony confirmed a trio of games that are now available to Essential subscribers – Stray, EA Sports WRC 24 and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

Now the Premium and Extra games have been announced. “This month, dive into the criminal underworld of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto 5, take a ride through a surreal and wild Pacific Northwest in Pacific Drive, or struggle for survival on an unstable oil rig in Still Wakes The Deep. All these titles and more are available in November’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup. Meanwhile, Tomb Raider: Anniversary brings Lara’s original adventure to PlayStation Plus Premium,” reads a blog post.

‘Halo’ is finally coming to PlayStation with original remake

For the first time in its 24-year history, Halo will soon be available on PlaySation consoles thanks to a remake of the original game.

Halo: Combat Evolved was released in 2001 as an Xbox exclusive. The first-person shooter inspired a number of sequels and spin-offs, but was never playable on a rival console.

However on Friday (October 24) it was confirmed that Halo Studios would be releasing a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved – and that it will be available on the PlayStation 5 at some point in 2026.

“The original Halo: Combat Evolved is a stalwart of gaming history, a cultural icon that helped define the first-person shooter experience. For Halo Studios, bottling the impact of that original campaign and all of its special moments is the ultimate goal – for new players and long-time fans alike,” said creators Halo Studios.

The “modern evolution” of Combat Evolved has been “thoughtfully brought to life” in Unreal Engine 5 with new 4K visuals, updated animations, remastered music and re-recorded voice lines. Halo Studios is also bringing in “a roster of beloved weapons and vehicles from later Halo titles, and adding three new bonus campaign missions, all designed to expand and celebrate  the adventure that started it all.”

The Halo: Campaign Evolved remake will also feature “expanded gameplay, two-player split-screen on consoles, online and networked co-op for up to four players on console and PC, and seamless cross-platform play with shared progression,” reads the official announcement. “It will be the definitive return trip through one of gaming’s greatest journeys.”

However the remake won’t feature the brilliant PvP multiplayer. “We’re not trying to replace what is a masterpiece in the original,” said executive producer Damon Conn in an interview with Windows Central. “We’re trying to basically make something that stands kind of shoulder to shoulder with it, using new tools, new energy, to get a little bit of a fresh take on some things, but honouring the legacy.”

Last October, Halo developers 343 Studios announced a rebrand as Halo Studios and confirmed “multiple” new titles were currently in development. And according to Halo Studios community director Brian Jarrard, all those titles will be available on Playstation. “It’s really a new era—Halo is on PlayStation going forward,”  he said during a livestream on Friday.

In other news, some of The Sims’ biggest streamers have quit the game in protest over the $55billion sale of publisher EA.
