Sometimes Sony breaks from this pattern and announces the free PS Plus games early, though only on very rare occasions. So far it’s mostly done this when it comes to the free PS5 PS Plus games, as was the case withDestruction AllStars,Oddworld: Soulstorm, and the latest example, theHunter’s Arena: Legendsbattle royale game. WhileDestruction AllStarswas confirmed as a free PS Plus game months in advance of its release, players only knew aboutOddworldandHunter’s Arenaabout a month ahead of time.

Since Sony very rarely deviates from how it reveals free PS Plus games, some may be surprised to learn that we potentially already know of one of the free PS Plus games for November 2021. However, it’s not a completely cut and dry case, and it’s entirely possible that what some think is a free PS Plus game for November 2021 doesn’t actually “count” as one of the free titles for that month.
GTA Online Free
Sony kicked off itsFuture of Gaming presentationlast year with the reveal that bothGrand Theft Auto 5and its online component,Grand Theft Auto Online, would be making their way to PlayStation 5. The original plan was for the PS5 version ofGrand Theft Auto 5andGTA Onlineto be out already, but the projects were eventually pushed back and are now releasing on PS5 on November 11.
When Sony announced theGrand Theft Auto 5PS5 port, the reveal included some exclusive perks for PlayStation gamers. One of the perks was getting the standalone release ofGrand Theft Auto Onlinefor free on PS5, and the other was PS4 gamers getting a free $1 million per month for every month between the Future of Gaming showcase and the launch ofGTA Onlineon the PlayStation 5.
The Free PS Plus Games for November 2021 Will Likely Be Something Different
Something that really works againstGTA Onlinecounting as one of the free PS Plus games for November 2021 is its release date. TheGrand Theft Auto OnlinePS5 release dateisn’t until November 11, and the free PS Plus games will almost certainly be added on Tuesday, November 2. This seemingly throws it out of contention completely, though there issomeprecedence for Sony releasing a free PS Plus game at a different time in the month.
This has happened once before on PS5 withBugsnax, though that is a special situation.Bugsnaxwas the first free PS5 PS Plus game ever, and the reason it was added to the service later in the month is because the PS5 itself hadn’t even been released yet. Since that doesn’t apply toGTA Online, it seems safe to say that the free PS Plus games for November 2021 will consist of three different titles entirely.
