PlayStation Plus November 2025 Free Games chatter won’t stop, and this month has a few moving parts: a reliable leak pointing to Grand Theft Auto V returning to the Extra catalog, Stellaris: Console Edition jumping to a native PS5 build with a free upgrade, and Delta Force lining up a Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater collaboration right before the new year. Let’s break down what’s real, what’s rumored, and what’s worth your time.
PlayStation Plus November 2025 Free Games — GTA 5 reportedly returns on Nov 18
Rumours say GTA 5 is set to re-enter the PS Plus Extra/Premium Game Catalog on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. Multiple outlets echoed the date and context, noting it would be the third straight year the title rotates back in.
If confirmed, expect standard catalog access (download/stream for Extra/Premium where supported) rather than any day-one perks. The timing also follows Rockstar’s GTA 6 delay headlines, which is fueling discussion—but the core takeaway here is simple: GTA 5 is likely back in the catalog mid-month.
Stellaris hits PS5 natively, free upgrade available on Extra
Paradox launched Stellaris: Console Edition on PS5 as a native version, and existing PS4 owners can claim a free upgrade. The PS5 edition is also live inside the PS Plus Extra catalog listing, replacing the older SKU. Paradox’s forums and the PS Store page confirm the rollout and upgrade path.
If you’re on Extra, add the new PS5 app to your library and carry on—Paradox notes this is a “new game” build, so install the PS5 version directly rather than waiting for an auto-update.
Delta Force x Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater — event Dec 19, appearance Jan 1
Team Jade’s Delta Force is teaming with Konami for a Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater collaboration. Coverage pegs the collab event start on December 19, with the marquee “appearance” rolling in on January 1, 2026. PC Gamer also highlights David Hayter’s return to voice Naked Snake content connected to the crossover.
One more Plus note: Portal cloud streaming is now live for Premium
If you’re Premium, Sony has switched on PS5 cloud streaming on PlayStation Portal—handy if you want to sample catalog titles without local installs. It launched on November 5 and includes a big chunk of the PS5 library plus Game Catalog/Classics entries that support streaming.
