Sony's PlayStation Plus is undergoing major changes this November with a plethora of big titles, but also the removal of a platform that has virtually no users. This time, Sony has decided to shut down PlayStation Plus' PC app due to usage falling below 0.4%. The PC app's discontinuation shows a clear shift in strategy towards console users that rely on this service for their gaming catalog.

A major addition to PS5 comes in the form of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach which stands as the main attraction to subscribers this month. Sony is also adding Trepang2 to PS5 which is described as a shooter game that resembles the classic F.E.A.R. series. Overall, we're getting some great new additions to the catalog for PlayStation 5 users this month with the inclusion of Death Stranding 2 and more.
Multiple titles are also getting support for older consoles in addition to the newer ones. We're getting Atomfall which is described as a British style Fallout JRPG on PS5 as well as PS4. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is also making its way to the catalog for PS5 and PS4 users.
More and more games are being added to the catalog with genre specific titles across multiple platforms. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is set to be available on PS5. We're also getting MotoGP 26 and Hell Let Loose for PS5 users. Cricket 26 is also available on PS5 and PS4 for sports fans.
For Premium tier users, you'll get Soul Reaver 2 and Freedom Wars Remastered for PS5 and PS4. The addition of Soul Reaver 2 and Freedom Wars Remastered shows the perks that the Premium tier brings for subscribers looking to get some classic and remastered titles.

We've seen a similar trend in the last PlayStation Plus update where we saw balance and stability themes. This time, we're getting a diverse set of titles with major titles like Death Stranding 2 along with niche titles such as Atomfall, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. All of these titles will be available to subscribers for the whole month without having to pay extra.
Sony has officially announced the additions to PlayStation Plus's catalog for November 2026 as well as the discontinuation of the PC app. With the removal of the PC app, the service will be focused primarily on the console ecosystem, but still providing fresh and classic games to the users. We'll be able to get access to these games right away with our current subscriptions.

0.4% usage means the PC app was dead weight. Good riddance.
I still use my Steam Deck for PS Plus games sometimes. Is the web player getting killed too or just the native app?
