Huge List of 18 Major Games to Leave PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Month

The amount of quality leaving over the last few month is really worrying.

Didn't they just add RDR2 again?

There is some good titles in there. I might just buy that gta trilogy as it is fun to hop on every now and again.

@Voltan Disappeared from PS Plus in Sept 2022, not been back long and there it goes again!

I'm dropping to Essential from Extra in December. Might as well just buy any of the limited titles available to Extra with the money saved, probably on disc as well, just to be sure.

Honestly the quality exchange we’re getting is terrible. We’re losing far better games than we’re getting, I’m not sure how they can justify the price hike.

May your heart be your guiding key…except on PS Plus.

@Voltan If memory serves, Rockstar games only ever seem to stay on Gamepass or PS Plus for around 3-6 months at a time, and tend to rotate between the two services. So I wouldn't be surprised to see RDR2 back on Gamepass again in the next couple of months

Chorus is a shame, it’s probably the best space combat game I’ve ever played.

Superliminal in a great puzzle game too!

Classic early whistle post 90 mins mentality for this every month.

Have months/years to play the games but complain once announced it’s leaving.

If these ended up on PS Plus for free next month people would cry its a poor selection 😂

@themightyant It is 75% likely at this point that GTA6 Online will be a subscription service with F2P monetisation. They'll only need a couple of whales to make back the cost of the few people that leave.

@Jacko11 And these are some bloody old games too. I find it hard to believe that most people who were likely to play Kingdom Hearts or Red Dead haven't already played them.

I think it's time to consider cancelling for me. We lose big games and gain small titles. It's not paying its way at all.

The gamepass model proved itself to be a failure so far, and so it appears Sony no longer feels pressured to go toe to toe with them.

The cost of PS Plus is expensive for what you get. I won't be renewing.

Only Chorus from there for me. I got caught out with Gotham Knights leaving, and I'm really close to finishing it. Which is annoying. 😕

Wonder if kingdom hearts will be moving over to GP.

With SE new strategy and all

@themightyant @PapaGlitch thanks, that's interesting

I think I'll play Superluminal
I was also thinking about checking out Kingdom Hearts but I'm not sure I feel like playing it rn (with a deadline too)

It’s not like the stuff you get in return is any good either. A shame.

Just another reason for me to drop to Essential when my current plan expires.

Not because I'm particularly bothered about any of these games leaving...... More so that these articles just serve to remind me that I never actually play any of the games on offer anyway.... or very rarely

@suprnova23 your joking they have never gone to to toe.
look at some of the games coming to Gamepass before Christmas..
COD Black Ops 6
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Stalker 2
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Genshin Impact
Mech Warrior clans
Nine Sols
All but one of those games are on there on day of release.

Oh no just like every streaming service out there they removed things they be bk in few months some of are just so dramatic

I let my ps plus to completely expire a couple of months ago. Decided it's not worth the money for me. I have decided to buy the odd game I want to play instead of trying to play a lot of games for the sake of playing them just because they are there.

@Rog-X genshin been on ps for how many years Xbox finally getting it and those other games are all own by Xbox but three

I feel like I'm echoing many people here. I to am going to drop to essential in January. I've given it since launch to change my mind. I just haven't been using it. For with not having time to play the few I'm interested in has made it's value proposition pointless to me. I'm not saying there aren't good games to play. But I seem to have played or owned the ones I'd be interested in. Not played one since Guardians of the galaxy. Would have been cheaper just to buy it outright. Still. Seems a good deal if I was a student or had a low stress job or no wife and family spend time with.

If they've been downloaded, we can keep them? Or does that make them unplayable unless we buy them. My son loves Teardown

@Slayer25c That's just poor damage control, Dosen't matter who owns them it's who's getting them is all that matters, I have both subscriptions but if I want to play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and COD Black Ops 6 on PlayStation I will have to pay $183 on top of the subscription.

My sub will expire next month and it will be cheaper just to rebuy my fighting games on steam and forget all about ps plus.

I didn't even know San Andreas was back on plus. It already left once before.

Play Dragon's Dogma while you can!

@themightyant I think this is true for 2K games as well (Take-Two Interactive). Saw the same thing for Marvel’s Midnight Suns only 6 months on extra. So in future be aware that these games will have 6 months max on PS Plus Extra.

@sanderson72 just remember, that we are marching towards a future without CDs unfortunately. I fully understand your decision changing to essential.

@Rog-X

The most interesting thing here is that you actually think that’s an impressive list of games as highlights for an entire quarter. For a £14.99 service that’s meant to be the primary reason to own an Xbox. You even listed a free to play game that you can play on your phone for over 4 years.

I think the big Subscription push is truly ending and we can expect mediocre release schedules from now on.

@Throb You lose access to them on PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium once they leave, there's no way around it.

Downloading rdr2 now. It'll be 1 of few games like that I won't be trying to 100%. 1 and done.

I'm confused. Teardown was pulled from Extra in like, May. I can't imagine it was readded since then and is about to be pulled again.

RDR2 is also strange given it was only added a few months ago. I'm used to these terms being six months or longer.

@LifeGirl Hello, here is a person that plans on playing Kingdom Hearts! Though, I was holding out for a Steam sale. There are plenty of people who would have wanted to play through those, though. I have a lift of games on Extra I want to get through, but Outer Worlds is taking up all my time, so there are undoubtedly some games I will miss and about 5 or 6 I already have.

@Rog-X I think you are forgetting that PS Plus over the years across essential and extra have/had very high quality stuff on their list - new ratchet and clank, HFW, FFVII remake, demons souls, spiderman, ghost of tsushima, DQ11, deathloop, GOW, uncharted, persona, etc etc

But these days we just dont see anywhere near as heavy hitting games coming onto Plus any more, TLOU being an exception as a remake. And I put that down to Xbox all but waving the white flag in the current gen console war with Sony.

@ChrisDeku
The full Gamepass list still to come just this month (there's already been a few earlier in the month) is:
South Park: The Fractured but Whole (Cloud, Console, and PC) – October 16
Donut County (Cloud, Console, and PC) – October 17
MechWarrior 5: Clans (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – October 17
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – October 25
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (Cloud) – October 25
Call of Duty: Warzone (Cloud) – October 25
Ashen (Cloud, Console, and PC) – October 29
Dead Island 2 (PC) – October 31
StarCraft: Remastered (PC) – November 5
StarCraft II: Campaign Collection (PC) – November 5

The PC only games aren't any interest to me as I don't have one. But I'll be giving South Park a go and maybe Ashen too. My son will be all over the COD games so for me it's not too bad a month. Although if my boy doesn't stick with COD I can see myself downgrading to the basic plan and occasionally upgrading for any day 1 releases that actually interest me.

When my PS Plus Extra 3 month ends it'll stay like that until there's more I want to play.
I think the way to go with all these streaming things is to dip in and out or downgrade/upgrade when there's content that you want (exactly what I currently do with netflix etc.)

@Robinsad there isn't really anything to worry about , games leave and get added all the time. this isn't meant to replace actually buying those games.

@Throb they are no longer playable , same when a game leaves game pass.

Ouch, some heavy losses there

@Throb Same here, my youngest loves it!

@Robinsad how about you just play the games while they are on the service? Or, y'know, buy the games you want to play...

Superliminal and What Remains of Edith Finch are the stand out games there for me. Already completed Superliminal and WRoEF I think I got free years ago, so no worries there (really need to go back and finish it 😅).

I let my PS+ sub run out about 6 months ago and have bought 2 1 month subs since then.. far cheaper ust to get a couple of months a year here and there, rather than subscribe for the whole year.

Resubscribed this month because the additional PS+ discounts provided for a bunch of games on sale effectively made the sub free.

@Robinsad It's not. It's precisely how subscriptions work. You can't seriously expect to keep the keys to the kingdom for a nominal monthly fee.

Gutted about Dino Crisis not been available. However, downloading Forbidden Siren which I purchased back on the PS4. Annoyingly its a 30Gb download which for a PS2 game is crazy.

@hi_drnick well I’m paying for a service and the quality of it has dipped drastically over the last few months.

Man, first a whole bunch of Final Fantasy games leave the service, then the Star Ocean games ended up leaving, and now the Kingdom Hearts games as well. There's always the chance they could return in the future, but still, as of right now, those are three of my favorite video game franchises that largely won't be on PS Plus.

Oh well. I bought all of them on the PS Store anyways. But my heart goes out to those who might primarily play PS Plus Premium and Extra available games, and now won't have access to either the Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, or Kingdom Hearts franchises for the time being.

Then again, it had to happen at some point. Services like these don't keep most games on their catalogue forever.

@Throb Unfortunately no. The games autolock each month, don't remember the date, but so long as you have an active ps+ membership and they are still on the service they unlock. Essential games don't autolock and are active until you membership expires.

@LiamCroft Not quite all of them though. PSOne, PS2, & PSP downloaded games from the Classics Collection are actually retained if they leave the service, but everything else is as you say.

@VoltanRDR2

This game is a much better smoother experience on the PC, i played years ago on a high end pc so i can compare the performance, i purchased a second hand physical copy a few days ago and the performance is of a very poor quality on the ps5.

With the rockstar games being removed once more, at least we know what's coming to ps+ extra in March 2025. Add it for 3-6 months remove it, bring it back as a headline title 6 months later, rinse and repeat.

Just chorus and perhaps Edith finch for me to get through before they leave. I've gotten into a habit now of checking what came to the service 13/14 months ago and getting a headstart on anything potentially leaving that I might want to play, I'd recommend others do it too if you're bothered about losing games you're interested in.

I'd recommend superficial and blasphemous to anybody that hasn't played them. Both great titles and not very long.

Wtf??? These are legitimately the only games I'm playing. Chorus is leaving as well? And GTA SA.

I have the ones I want physically, but still sucks.

Was tempted to start RDR2 but didn't as I assumed it wouldn't last long. Thank god I didn't 😂
