PlayStation Plus members may have an early reason to get excited for November 2025. A new leak suggests that Stray, the beloved cat adventure set in a neon-soaked cybercity, will headline the PS Plus monthly games lineup.
The scoop comes from well-known leaker Bilbil-Kun, who reports that Stray will be available to claim starting November 4, 2025, on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Even better, it’s said to be redeemable across all tiers—Essential, Extra, and Premium—so no matter your subscription level, you should be able to add it to your library once the lineup goes live. The rest of November’s titles haven’t been pinned down yet, but an official announcement is expected soon.
If you missed Stray the first time around, this is a second chance worth taking. The game casts you as a lost cat navigating a hauntingly beautiful, robot-populated city. Expect atmospheric exploration, clever puzzle-solving, stealthy alleyway sneaking, and a surprisingly heartfelt story supported by your drone companion, B-12. Its rich world-building and feline finesse made it one of the standout releases of its year.
What makes this potential return especially notable is Stray’s history with the service. It originally joined PlayStation Plus on launch day in July 2022 and remained in the catalog for about a year before rotating out. Bringing it back as a monthly game gives new subscribers—and anyone who missed it previously—another opportunity to experience one of the most talked-about indie adventures on PlayStation.
A quick heads-up for your backlog management: Alan Wake 2, Cocoon, and Goat Simulator 3 are expected to leave the PS Plus Essential lineup on November 4. If you haven’t claimed them yet, do it before they rotate out so they remain in your library while your subscription is active.
As always with leaks, treat this as informed speculation until Sony confirms the lineup. But if the report holds, November 2025 could be a purrfect month for PlayStation Plus, led by a stylish, emotionally resonant adventure that’s unlike anything else on your dashboard.
