Death Stranding 2 headlines the November PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, and Sony retires the PC app

Sony Interactive Entertainment unveiled the November line-up for the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on 10 November. Leading the list is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on PS5, the Kojima Productions adventure in which Sam attempts to connect Australia to the chiral network.

Also joining the Extra and Premium catalogue are Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5, PS4), Rebellion's Atomfall (PS5, PS4), Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (PS5), Trepang2 (PS5), MotoGP 26 (PS5), Hell Let Loose (PS5) and Cricket 26 – The Official Game of the Ashes (PS5, PS4). Premium subscribers also get Soul Reaver 2 and Freedom Wars Remastered, both on PS5 and PS4.

The English-language PlayStation Blog says the line-up will be playable from 17 November, unless otherwise stated. The same post lists different dates in some markets: Hell Let Loose on 11 November in the US and UK (12 November in Japan); Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on 24 November in the US, UK and Japan; Trepang2, MotoGP 26 and Cricket 26 on 24 November in the US and UK. The official Italian post does not list these dates and warns that the catalogue and the Premium/Deluxe line-up may vary by region, so availability should be checked on PlayStation Store.

The PlayStation Plus app for PC closes on 10 December

Starting on 10 December, Sony will retire the PlayStation Plus app for PC, which let Premium members stream the service's games from the cloud on a computer. PlayStation says it regularly reviews its offerings to focus on the experiences "our members value most". With "a very small number" of eligible Premium members, "less than 0.4%", using the app on PC, the company decided to close it and direct its resources to experiences used by a larger share of subscribers.

Sony stresses that the change "does not affect PlayStation Plus memberships or benefits available on PS5 and PS4 consoles". Those who used the PC app, it adds, will be notified directly.
