CONFIRMED
Sony has revealed two upcoming PS Plus Game Catalog additions ahead of its usual monthly announcement. According to PlayStation LifeStyle, citing Sony’s announcement, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake arrives for Extra and Premium subscribers on November 17, 2026, and Dynasty Warriors: Origins follows in December. The rest of November’s catalog lineup is due on November 11.
What we know
Sony is giving Extra and Premium members an early look at the next two months. PlayStation LifeStyle reports, citing Sony’s announcement, that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is set to join the PS Plus Game Catalog on November 17, 2026. Sony shared it before the full November catalog reveal, which is unusual and suggests the company wants this one front and center.
Notebookcheck also reports the November 17 date, citing the PlayStation Japan blog. Its report uses the localized title “Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.” We were not able to open Sony’s original post ourselves to check the exact wording of the title or the date, so we are relying on these two outlets’ reporting here. Both agree on the date.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is the second early reveal. PlayStation LifeStyle and Push Square both report that it is slated to join the Extra and Premium catalog in December 2026. Push Square ran the news under the headline “2 Upcoming PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced Early.” Neither outlet has reported a specific day, so for now December is all we have.
As for the rest of November, PlayStation LifeStyle says the full Extra and Premium lineup is due to be revealed on November 11, 2026. That is two days from today, so the remaining catalog additions should not be a mystery for long.
For context, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake launched on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch and PC, according to Gematsu. It rebuilds the classic RPG in Square Enix’s HD-2D style, the pixel-art-meets-3D look also used for Octopath Traveler.
What we don’t know yet
The biggest open question is everything else coming to Extra and Premium in November. Dragon Quest III is the only November catalog title Sony has confirmed so far, and the rest should land with the November 11 reveal reported by PlayStation LifeStyle.
We also don’t know the exact December date for Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Sony has only pinned it to the month, and no outlet has reported a specific day.
There is also no word yet on whether either game comes with any Premium-specific extras such as a timed trial. Sony has not said anything about that in the reporting we have, so assume standard catalog access on Extra and Premium until told otherwise.
Finally, the exact title Sony uses on its own post is unverified on our end. Notebookcheck’s localized title “Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation” comes from its reading of the PlayStation Japan blog, and the name in the PS Store listing may differ by region.
What is rumored
ComicBook.com has suggested that the original Ratchet & Clank is also headed to Premium in November, possibly on November 17. Treat this one carefully. The date is ComicBook.com’s own guess, not something drawn from an official Sony source, and nothing about a Ratchet & Clank addition has been confirmed. We are grading it as speculation (D).
It is plausible that classic PlayStation titles show up in the Premium tier alongside a monthly catalog drop, but plausible is not confirmed. If Ratchet & Clank is coming, the November 11 reveal is the most likely place for Sony to say so.
What it means
For Extra and Premium subscribers, November 17 is a swap day. PlayStation Universe reports that GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are among the titles leaving the Extra catalog on November 17, 2026, the same day Dragon Quest III arrives. If you are partway through either Rockstar game on your subscription, now is the time to wrap up or decide whether to buy.
Dragon Quest III is a strong replacement for a different kind of player. It is a turn-based RPG with a classic structure, and it suits anyone who wants something to chip away at over the holidays. If you skipped it at launch because of the price, the catalog is a low-risk way to try it.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins in December rounds out a solid two-month stretch for the higher tiers. Having an action game following an RPG gives the catalog a bit of range heading into the end of the year.
Essential members are not left out this month either. GameSpot reports that November 2026’s Essential monthly games are Dead Island 2, Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered and Monster Train 2, available from November 3 to November 30. Those are already live, so claim them before the window closes if you have not yet.
Our advice: check back on November 11 for the full Extra and Premium lineup, which should also settle the Ratchet & Clank question one way or the other. Until then, plan around the confirmed November 17 arrival of Dragon Quest III and the departures landing the same day.
