Death Stranding 2, Atomfall and More Land on PlayStation Plus Soon

CNET’s Oscar Gonzales called Death Stranding 2: On the Beach a “big, beautiful and weird” game. And PlayStation Plus subscribers who enjoyed the first game in the series, or who are fans of the game’s creator, Hideo Kojima, can play the sequel starting on Nov. 17.

PlayStation Plus, which is Sony’s version of Xbox Game Pass, offers a large, constantly expanding library of games. Subscribers can choose from the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, each with unique perks and benefits. Starting at $11 per month, plans give subscribers access to monthly games and rewards, and each month, all subscribers can access a handful of games at no additional charge. However, only Extra and Premium subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.

Here are all the games PlayStation is adding to the Game Catalog on Nov. 17, unless otherwise noted.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

This award-winning game where you deliver packages to folks is about establishing human connection. You play as Sam (Norman Reedus), who is sent from the US to Australia to connect the continent to the Chiral Network. To do that, he’ll have to traverse dangerous landscapes full of enemies you’ll either have to confront or evade. 

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii 

Available to subscribers in the US, UK and Japan on Nov. 24.

This over-the-top, modern-day adventure follows an amnesiac ex-yakuza member who has reinvented himself as a swashbuckling pirate. He’s in search of legendary treasure as well as his lost memories in the Hawaiian Islands. It’s a wacky beat’em-up game that lets you build a pirate crew, board other ships and live out your pirate dreams.

The Windscale fire was the worst nuclear disaster in the UK’s history, and it’s estimated that it caused between 100 and 240 cancer-related deaths. And Atomfall asks, “What if Windscale was similar in magnitude to the disaster at Chernobyl?”

This game takes place five years after a more devastating Windscale disaster. You’ll encounter gangs of bandits, cults and rogue government agencies throughout the quarantine zone in the Lake District, Cumbria. It’s up to you whether you avoid conflict or charge into the heat of battle, but resources are scarce, so maybe don’t go in guns blazing every chance you get.
