With the recent launch of Assassin’s Creed Origins and the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, PlayStation 4 owners are already quite busy. Soon, Call of Duty: WW2 enters the fray, with Star Wars: Battlefront II not too far behind it. But if you want to take a breather from these lavish AAA games, November’s PlayStation Plus lineup features an array of smaller experiences. It also happens to be the best month to date for PSVR owners.

Starting Tuesday, November 7, PSVR users can nab Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, a spinoff of the PS4 exclusive Until Dawn that sees players shooting through scary enemies while taking rides on various roller coasters. Rush of Blood is technically a bonus game this month, as it replaces RIGS: Mechanized Combat League, a game that was originally offered as a PSVR one-year anniversary celebration. Apparently, the celebration has been extended, as Rush of Blood will continue to be available for PS Plus users until January 2.

The standard month of November games includes Bound, the heralded 2016 indie starring an unnamed ballet dancer who leaps gracefully through a beautiful and unsettling dreamscape. While Bound is great on PS4, it’s at its best on PSVR, making November the first month to feature two PSVR compatible games.

Worms Battlegrounds fills out the other PS4 slot. The 2014 turn-based tactics game features a full campaign, but the game’s legs rely on its local and online multiplayer.

Through cross-buy, PS4 owners can also play Dungeon Punks, a fantasy beat-’em-up set in the framework of an RPG. Dungeon Punks is also available for PS Vita owners.

Along with the old-school beat-’em-up, PS Vita users can also return to point-and-click style gameplay with Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse. Episodes 1 and 2 (the complete experience) of the cult favorite are free this month.

Meanwhile, PS3 users can download R-Type Dimensions, a shoot-’em-up arcade title fit with a cool feature that lets you switch between classic arcade and higher resolution graphics with the press of a button. Like usual, the PS3 offerings are really getting to the bottom of the barrel, as displayed by Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic, which rounds out November’s lineup.

If you haven’t secured October’s PS Plus games yet, make sure to do that by Monday, November 6, as the new lineup takes over November 7.

If you've been waiting to pick up one of the great games you missed earlier this year or in years past, now might be the best time to snag it for cheap!
When is the PlayStation Spring Sale 2024?
The PlayStation Spring Sale started on March 27, 2024, but new deals were added on April 10 that will last until April 24.

If any deal is exclusively for a PS5 version of a game that is also on PS4, we will note that beside the title. Since all PS4 games run on PS5, we won't mark PS4 games.

PlayStation Plus’ most notable free April offerings come from Microsoft
Four players stand together in the 4v4 PvP mode of Minecraft Legends.

Sony outlined all the new offerings PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can expect in April; surprisingly, Microsoft is the company behind two of this month's four offerings, Minecraft Legends, and the Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle.

On April 2, PS Plus can get those two things free of charge in addition to Immortals of Aveum and Skul: The Hero Slayer. Immortals of Aveum is a single-player shooter where players use magic instead of weapons. Although the thing it's most notable for is flopping upon its release, Immortals of Aveum is still a solid shooter that you might have missed out on, and you should give it a shot now that you can get it through PS Plus. Meanwhile, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a tough 2D platformer roguelike that should entertain fans of that genre for quite some time.

PlayStation VR2 production reportedly paused by Sony

Sony is reportedly pausing production of the PlayStation VR2 headsets because it has a backlog of unsold headsets.

This report comes from Bloomberg, which claims that PSVR2 sales have slowed every quarter since its February 2023 release, causing stocks of the device to build up. It says Sony has produced 2 million headsets but reportedly hasn't sold through them yet. As a result, it's apparently pausing the production on new units until it works through some of that backlog, according to Bloomberg's anonymous sources.
