0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

Sony has announced three free games for PlayStation Plus members in November.

The first game is Secret Neighbor, a multiplayer horror game. Five players must work together while one hidden player tries to stop them. This gameplay style is similar to the popular party game "Werewolf," where players must guess who is secretly against the group.

The second title is Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, which normally sells for 4,389 yen. A remaster means the original games have been updated with improved graphics and features for modern consoles.

The third game is Monster Train 2, which will also be available for free this month.

According to reports, the total value of all three games is more than 10,000 yen when bought separately.

These games will be available to PlayStation Plus subscribers who pay for the service monthly, and they will work on both PS5 and PS4 consoles.

PlayStation Plus regularly offers free games as part of its subscription benefits, giving players access to new and classic titles without extra cost. This November lineup mixes a newer horror multiplayer experience with a remastered classic adventure series and a strategy-style game, offering something different for various types of players.
