The PS Plus monthly games of November 2023 will come to PS5 and PS4 on Tuesday, November 7, 2023. To help you figure out which platinum trophies you'll be chasing after, we've compiled a guide to tell you what the easiest and hardest PS Plus Essential trophies of November 2023 are. However, if you're looking for a few simpler trophy lists, make sure to check out our easy platinum trophies guide.

PS Plus trophy guide — how easy and how long are the Essential games?

Last month we saw a pretty balanced set of trophy lists to work through. However, it seems we are in for a much tougher challenge this month. We have a solid horror title bringing you a brutal and time-consuming platinum to earn, a multiplayer game with a pretty balanced platinum, and a game we received 10 years ago making a return to the service. So, there is a lot to unpack here.

Check out the grid below to see what trophy lists contain missables and how long each platinum should take to earn.

Game	Length	Difficulty	Missables
Aliens Fireteam Elite tophies	100+ hours		—
Mafia II Definitive Edition trophies	20-30 hours		—
Dragon Ball The Breakers trophies	70-80 hours		—

Those seeking a truly sadistic trophy-hunting experience are in luck with this month's batch of games. Aliens Fireteam Elite's platinum is unforgiving, brutal, and outlandishly difficult to earn. Honestly, this is one of the most unfair trophy lists to ever come to PS Plus, partly due to the horrific difficulty-based trophies on offer. As of right now, the platinum trophy 'Ultimate Badass' has an overall completion rate of 0.60% and will put you through your paces. The game is so difficult it has even found itself on our hardest platinum trophies list.

The easiest platinum trophy to grab this month comes from Mafia II Definitive Edition, a game that saw its not-so-definitive version given away for 'free' to PS Plus PS3 users on Wednesday, July 31, 2013. So, this may be seen as quite an underwhelming addition to the service all in all. However, the platinum trophy currently sits with an overall completion rate of 2.30% and shouldn't take all that long to snatch up. So, if you want a quick and easy platinum to add to your collection, this is the one for you.

Dragon Ball The Breakers is our multiplayer outing of the month and is a pretty balanced platinum to earn. While there are trophies centered around winning matches, you only need to win one or two matches, albeit under certain circumstances — these trophies can be boosted with friends to make them simpler. The platinum trophy 'The Breaking Point' has an overall completion rate of 3.00% on PSN as of right now. Will you try and add it to your collection?

Will you attempt to earn the platinum trophy in any of these titles? Or do you think they are all a bit too much work? If you are looking for what games to be careful of, our unobtainable PS Plus platinum trophies guide will help you dodge any broken trophy lists.
