November PS Plus: Sony Drops the Truth Bombs (And a Cyber-Cat) After a Familiar Leak
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Sony has officially confirmed the PlayStation Plus games for November 2025, validating an earlier leak, with the highly anticipated *Stray* leading a diverse lineup that also includes *EA Sports WRC 24* and the delightfully chaotic *Totally Accurate Battle Simulator*. Gamers can grab these titles across PS4 and PS5 from November 4th to December 1st, offering a mix of adventure, racing, and physics-based mayhem.
Alright, mates, gather 'round the digital campfire, because Sony's just pulled back the curtain on the PlayStation Plus monthly games for November 2025. And, surprise, surprise (not really, if you've been paying attention to the digital tea leaves), it's exactly what the rumour mill, specifically Dealabs' legendary billbil-kun, whispered into our collective ear a while back. It's almost as if magic is real, or just... really, *really* good leakers.
So, what's brewing in the cauldron for November? From Tuesday, November 4th, right through to Monday, December 1st, PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium subscribers can dive into a trio of titles: *Stray*, *EA Sports WRC 24*, and *Totally Accurate Battle Simulator* (TABS). PS5 and PS4 users, take note of your platform compatibility, eh?
First up, *Stray*! Ah, the darling of 2022 (yes, I know the article is for 2025, but the game *launched* earlier). BlueTwelve's third-person feline adventure, where you play as a lost cat navigating a gorgeous, neon-drenched cybercity, filled with droids and... well, less friendly critters. It's less 'pet simulator' and more 'paws-on detective work with parkour' as you untangle an ancient mystery. IGN, bless 'em, gave it an 8/10, calling it 'a delightful cat-based platforming adventure in a cyberpunk world worth exploring.' And honestly, who *doesn't* want to be a cat in a sci-fi dystopia? It’s peak chaotic good.
Next, we've got *EA Sports WRC 24* from Codemasters. Now, this one's a bit of a rally paradox, if you ask me. It launched in 2023, and while IGN's review (a 6/10, for the record) said it felt like 'a great racing game trying to fight its way out of an unfinished one,' it's still a massive, authentic rally experience. For the petrolheads out there, or those who just fancy skidding around digitally without the real-world insurance nightmares, it's probably worth a look. Maybe it's had a few patches since then, eh? Fingers crossed for some proper polish.
And finally, for when you just want to let loose some utterly bonkers physics-based chaos, Landfall Games brings us *Totally Accurate Battle Simulator* – or TABS, for those in the know. Imagine a medieval battlefield, but everyone's had a few too many wobbly pops and forgotten how gravity works properly. It’s glorious, silly, and precisely the kind of unexpected gem that makes PS Plus collections fun. Sometimes you just need to pit a peasant with a stick against a giant T-Rex, mate, and TABS delivers.
So, what does this November lineup tell us? It's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? A beloved indie darling, a big-name (if slightly wobbly) sports title, and a pure physics-comedy generator. It feels like Sony's casting a wide net, offering something for almost everyone. Plus, seeing *Stray* hit the service for *all* tiers is a pretty sweet deal for anyone who missed out. It just goes to show, sometimes the best gaming experiences aren't always the biggest budget blockbusters.
