PS Plus Essential November 2024 release time – when to download PS5 games like Ghostwire Tokyo

PlayStation is coming through with a big month of free games for PS Plus subscribers, offering them the likes of Ghostwire Tokyo and a surprise anime day one release.

It's time for a new batch of games to hit PS Plus Essential for November, and players are in for a real treat with day-one releases and brilliant RPGs.

PS Plus is keeping up its momentum, even though it had every right to drop the ball. Paying for online services is a bugbear for PlayStation users, just as it is for players on Xbox, so the deal has to be kept sweet for PS Plus Essential subscribers – and luckily, Sony is providing them with a pretty great collection of titles this month.

Joining the PS Plus Essential November 2024 lineup this month is a pretty stacked cast – Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged brings some arcade racing, doing just enough to assuage subscribers miffed at constant sports titles being added to the service, while Ghostwire: Tokyo delivers on a great spooky RPG and Death Note Killer Within debuts on the service as a day-one release, pairing the modern classic anime with Among Us-like gameplay. It’s a compelling month of drops that has defied expectation (predominantly because Death Note Killer Within was a real surprise), and players are eager to get the game downloaded.

Unfortunately this does mean that the PS Plus Essential October games will depart the service very soon, and this will mark your last chance to get them installed before you’ll have to pay for them.

Here’s when you can expect the changeover, and prepare for the PS Plus Essential November 2024 release time.

PS Plus Essential November 2024 games release time

The PS Plus Essential November 2024 games release time is 9am GMT / 5am EDT / 2am PDT on Tuesday, November 5. We know this because the latest PS Plus Essential games will always drop on the first Tuesday of any given month, the week after they were announced. You’ll be able to download them from the PS Plus tab of your PlayStation homepage as soon as they’re made available, and they’ll be yours to play forever providing you’re subscribed to at least the Essential tier of PS Plus when you go to do so.

This is the very same time that you can expect to lose the chance to download the PS Plus Essential October 2024 games, which are WWE 2K24, Dead Space and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. Act quick before they’re gone for good, and take our advice – if you’ve never played DDLC, go in without knowing anything about us and thank us later.
