PlayStation Plus has been on an absolute roll in recent months, dropping banger after banger on players across all of the tiers of their subscription service.
In October, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members were treated to the Silent Hill 2 remake, Until Dawn, V Rising, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1, As Dusk Falls, Wizard with a Gun and Tekken 3.
Meanwhile, PS Plus Essential members got their hands on Goat Simulator 3, Cocoon and the genuinely exceptional Alan Wake 2 for a relatively small outlay compared to the other tiers.
That bumper edition has been followed up with the reveal for the November games for Essential subscribers, with EA Sports WRC 24, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and indie darling Stray up to bat this time around.

Whilst all three are good, or even great, games in their own right, it's safe to say that they don't quite live up to the headline act last time around.
Over on Reddit, a thread discussing the games on offer was littered with less than enthusiastic reactions from fans, particularly considering the games have cropped up before in different PS Plus packages.
"The elephant cat in the room… Happy for anyone who‘s gonna experience it for the first time, but many people including me have played it before on the Extra. The other two title aren‘t that interesting for either, so it‘s a backlog month for me," one comment read.
"I'll probably try WRC but I played other WRC games and wasn't super into them. They've been on PS Plus for a while on extra. I also platinumed Stray before it left extra. I might replay it for the PS4 trophies but I don't know. Probably a backlog month for me too," another added.
Other were just thankful for the great run they've been on, even if November is a bit of a disappointment.
"It's a meh month for me because I don't like racing games, have no interest in the other game and have already played Stray (plat actually) when it first released on Extra. Can't win all and can't complain either because these past months have been great. For those that missed out on Stray this is your chance. Pretty great game with moments of joy. Enjoy, everyone," another response stated.
The rest of the games for other tiers will be announced in the middle of the month, so make sure to keep an eye out to see if there's any big hitters in there.
