The waiting game is over for PlayStation Plus subscribers eager to get a look at November 2025's lineup, as a credible leak has seemingly revealed the monthly headliner. According to a prominent leaker, players will be revisiting a furry, fan-favorite friend from the past.
The Leak: Stray Pounces Back into PS Plus
The information comes from the well-known and typically reliable leaker Bilbil-Kun on the Dealabs platform. According to their report, the headline title for the November 2025 PS Plus Essential monthly games will be none other than Stray, the critically acclaimed cat adventure game from BlueTwelve Studio and Annapurna Interactive.
As revealed in the leak, Stray will be available for all PS Plus subscribers to claim starting Tuesday, November 4, 2025. The game will be accessible on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. In a welcome move for all tiers of the service, the leak indicates that the game will be available to anyone with an active PS Plus Essential, Extra, or Premium/Deluxe membership.

Bilbil-Kun notes that while Stray is confirmed as the headliner, the other two titles that will round out November's trio of free games are still unconfirmed. However, PlayStation fans won't have to wait long for official word. Sony is expected to announce the full November 2025 PS Plus lineup officially tomorrow, at which point we will know the complete offering.
A Purr-fect Opportunity for New Players
For the uninitiated, Stray is a unique third-person adventure game that took the world by storm upon its release. You step into the paws of a stray cat who becomes separated from its family and finds itself lost in a mysterious, decaying cybercity. This sprawling metropolis, illuminated by neon signs and inhabited solely by sentient robots, is a sight to behold.
The game is celebrated for its immersive exploration, clever environmental puzzles, and tense moments of stealth as you navigate dangers in dimly lit alleys. A key part of the experience is your small drone companion, B-12, who helps you translate the robot language and uncover the deep secrets of this long-forgotten city. It’s a heartwarming, atmospheric, and often poignant journey that masterfully captures the curiosity and agility of a feline.
A Second Chance to Claim a Modern Classic
What makes this leak particularly interesting is the history of Stray with the subscription service. The game was a day-one release on PlayStation Plus back in July 2022, giving subscribers immediate access. It remained in the catalog for approximately a year before being rotated out.
This November 2025 re-addition presents a fantastic opportunity for two groups of players:
- New Subscribers: Anyone who has joined PS Plus since the game's removal now has a chance to claim this modern classic for their permanent library, as long as they have an active subscription.
- Those Who Missed It: Players who were subscribed back in 2022 but simply never got around to downloading it now have a second shot to correct that mistake.
Don't Forget: Games Leaving Soon
As a new batch of games arrives, it also means that the current October 2025 lineup will be cycling out. Remember that Alan Wake 2, Cocoon, and Goat Simulator 3 will be leaving the PS Plus Essential monthly games collection on Monday, November 3. If you have any interest in these titles, be sure to add them to your library before they are gone.
Stay tuned for the official announcement from PlayStation tomorrow for the full and confirmed list of November 2025's PS Plus games. If this leak holds true, it's going to be a great month for both new and returning players.
