November 2026 Free Games Roundup: PlayStation Plus, Steam, Epic & More
November is here, and with it comes a wave of free games that’ll keep your library full without emptying your wallet. Whether you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, a Steam/Epic Games Store scavenger, or just looking for something new to play, this month’s lineup is packed with surprises. Here’s what you need to grab before it’s gone.
PlayStation Plus: Two Must-Play Free Games
If you’ve got a PS4 or PS5, Sony’s PlayStation Plus subscription is still one of the best values in gaming. This November, subscribers get two standout titles:
1. The Last of Us Part II (PS4/PS5)
Yes, you read that right. Sony’s rotating the iconic The Last of Us Part II into its free game lineup for the month. It’s a rare chance to play one of the most critically acclaimed games of the last decade—just be warned, it’s not for the faint of heart. The story is brutal, the combat is intense, and the emotional weight hits hard. If you’ve been avoiding it, now’s your chance to dive in without spending a dime.
Why it’s worth playing: Even if you’ve only heard the controversy, the game’s direction, storytelling, and sheer ambition make it a must-experience. It’s also a great way to test if you’re ready for its darker themes.
2. Horizon Forbidden West (PS4/PS5)
Guido’s adventure continues with Horizon Forbidden West, another gem from Guerrilla Games. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the stunning open world of Horizon without committing to the full game, this is your shot. The game’s art direction, combat, and exploration are all top-tier, and the story is just as engaging as the original.
Why it’s worth playing: The free version includes a solid chunk of the main story, plus side quests and the iconic climbing mechanics. It’s a perfect way to see if the series is your style before investing in the full game.
How to claim: Log in to your PlayStation Plus account and head to the library. Both games should be available for download starting November 1st.
Pro Tip: If you’re a PS Plus subscriber, now’s also a great time to check out Astro’s Playroom (free with every PS5) and Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus (another classic freebie).
Steam & Epic Games Store: Hidden Gems You Can’t Miss
Steam and Epic are always dropping free games, but some stand out more than others. Here’s what’s worth grabbing this week:
Steam’s Free Game of the Week: Cities: Skylines (Free for a Limited Time)
Yes, you heard it right—Cities: Skylines is free on Steam this week. That’s right, the god of city-building is yours to play without spending a penny. Whether you’re a hardcore simmer or just love watching virtual cities grow, this is a no-brainer.
Why it’s worth playing: The base game is already a masterpiece, and with mods, it can get even deeper. Plus, it’s one of those games that’s endlessly replayable.
How to claim: Head to the Steam store and search for Cities: Skylines. It should be listed as free until November 7th.
Epic Games Store: Disc Jam (Free for a Week)
If you’ve ever wanted to create your own music game, Disc Jam is your playground. It’s a mix of Guitar Hero and Rock Band with a retro twist, and it’s completely free on Epic this week.
Why it’s worth playing: It’s surprisingly fun, especially if you’ve got friends to join in. The custom tracks and multiplayer make it a great party game.
How to claim: Check out the Epic Games Store and look for Disc Jam in the free section.
Bonus: The Batman vs. Dracula (Free with Ads on Cult of Mush)
If you’re into indie horror games, The Batman vs. Dracula is a wild, dark ride. It’s free on Cult of Mush with ads, and it’s one of those games that’s weird enough to be brilliant. Think Batman meets Castlevania with a gothic horror twist.
Why it’s worth playing: It’s short, intense, and packed with atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for something different, this is a great pick.
How to claim: Download it from Cult of Mush.
