The PlayStation Plus Essential main game for November 2025 has leaked online.
Dealabs’ ever-reliable billbil-kun revealed one of the three PS Plus Essential games for November 2025: Stray.
Stray is apparently the main title for the PlayStation Plus Essential selection for November 2025, and will be available from November 4, 2025 on PS5 and PS4 for Essential, Extra, and Premium subscribers.
Stray is French studio BlueTwelve’s third-person cat adventure game set in the neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly. As a stray cat, you roam surroundings high and low, defending against unforeseen threats and solving the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by nothing but unassuming droids and dangerous creatures. Lost, alone and separated from family, you must untangle an ancient mystery to escape a long-forgotten cybercity and find the way home.
IGN’s Stray review returned an 8/10. We said: “Stray is a delightful cat-based platforming adventure in a cyberpunk world worth exploring.”
Stray has a history with PS Plus. It launched back in 2022 straight into PS Plus Extra as a day one release, but was removed from the catalog a year later. It has since launched on Xbox and Microsoft’s subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch. An animated movie based on the video game Stray is being developed by Annapurna Animation.
The official PlayStation Plus announcement from Sony is expected this Wednesday, October 29. While you wait, check out October’s lineup.
