Sony has revealed the latest slate of PlayStation Plus Game Catalog additions for Extra and Premium members, and it’s a dang solid lineup this month. The biggest name, of course, is Grand Theft Auto V. That’s returning to the Game Catalog after Sony removed it in June. GTA V has now sold more than 205 million copies (not a typo), but if you’ve yet to dive into the game or its perennially popular online mode, here’s your chance. GTA VI, meanwhile, is set to arrive next fall.
In case you’re all GTA’d out for the time being, there are lots of other PS Plus additions to explore. One of those is the open-world zombie survival action RPG Dying Light 2: Stay Human, which I’ve been meaning to check out for a long time. Like A Dragon: Ishin (which, coincidentally, is leaving Game Pass this month) and Chivalry 2 are among the other big names on the list, but I’m especially happy to see Overcooked! All You Can Eat make the cut.
That’s a terrific bundle of both Overcooked games and all of the expansions. For years, I’ve been calling these games the perfect relationship test. Just, uh, maybe don’t play with your partner if you’re going through a rough patch.
Elsewhere, The Sims 4 expansion pack Island Living is included. Naturally, you’ll need the free-to-play base game to access that. Moto GP 24, Digimon Survive, Stick Fight: The Game, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, the intriguing Killer Frequency and Hungry Shark World round out the newcomers to the PS Plus Game Catalog’s Extra tier.
The Premium lineup is pretty exciting this month as well. I spent many hours playing the multiplayer modes of Resistance: Fall of Man in the PS3 era. Insomniac Games has been on an incredible run for the last six years, so it should be fun to hop back into that game and its sequel, Resistance 2, for a hit of nostalgia and to see how far the studio has come. Note, however, that these two games are streaming-only.
Ahead of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered arriving next month, you can warm up by playing Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Blood Omen 2. Last but not least, there’s one PS VR2 addition to the lineup in the form of action shooter Synapse. PS Plus Premium and Extra subscribers can play these games at no extra cost starting on November 19.
