The PS Plus Essential games for November 2023 are about to be revealed this week. Here's what we think could appear, and when we'll find out the confirmed game lineup.

UPDATE: The PS Plus Essential November 2023 games have now been confirmed.

PS Plus Essential subscribers had a bit of a spooky month during the PS Plus Essential October 2023 lineup, with the addition of The Callisto Protocol, Weird West, and Farming Simulator 22. Now it's time to head out of spooky season and into pre-Christmas. After a delay last week, we're going to find out what games will be kicking off November's PS Plus offering.

In terms of our predictions, we're looking at the PS Plus Essential November 2022 lineup last year, which featured Nioh 2, Lego Harry Potter Collection, and Heavenly Bodies. Considering Nioh 2 was developed by Team Ninja and released in 2020; perhaps Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, which was developed by Team Ninja and released in 2021 could be a shout for this month's offering. Plus, there are always more Lego games to go around, perhaps Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, or Lego City Undercover, both of which launched on PlayStation in 2017 (a year after the Harry Potter collection).

As for a third game, it's hard to predict but considering there's usually an indie included, we're going to throw out a wildcard and say The Binding of Issac: Repentance will finish off the trio. Regardless, we're sure the lineup will somehow be leaked ahead of time.

PS Plus Essential November 2023 reveal time

The PS Plus Essential titles for each month are typically revealed on the final Wednesday of the month prior over on the PlayStation Blog. However, this month is a little different. Because November 7 is the first Tuesday of the month, the PS Plus Essential November 2023 free games will be announced on, Wednesday, November 1 at 4.30pm GMT / 12:30pm EDT / 9:30am PDT.

PS Plus Essential games subsequently become available on the first Tuesday of every month, which means they'll be available to download on Tuesday, November 7 at 10am GMT / 5am EST / 2am PST.

PS Plus Essential games are only available until the following month's lineup drops, so you'll have until Tuesday, December 5 to redeem them. On that note, if you've yet to add the PS Plus Essential October 2023 games to your library, make sure you do so before Tuesday, November 7. You don't need to download them to your console either; just add them to your library and you can download them whenever you like, so long as your PS Plus subscription is active.
