More games are set to leave PlayStation Plus Extra in August 2023, including a few major fan favourites, Sony have quietly revealed.
Like many popular television and film streaming services, PlayStation Plus will periodically add and remove titles from its gaming on demand library. There’s always a likelihood that a game you’re playing may disappear from the lineup, so it’s always best to keep an eye on which games are due to leave.
Games leaving PlayStation Plus Extra | August 2023
Compared to other months, there are considerably more games being pulled. The full list includes:
- Borderlands 3
- Nidhogg
- DCL The Game
- Yakuza Kiwami
- Yakuza Kiwami 2
- Yakuza 0
- Grip
- The Crew 2
- 8-Bit Armies
- Carmageddon Max Damage
When are these games leaving PlayStation Plus? You will no longer be able to access any of the titles above from August 15h, 2023. So, if you were planning on getting into the Yakuza franchise, you best get started now!
It’s not all terrible news, however. Next month will undoubtedly see another cluster of games arriving on PS Plus with July 2023’s lineup including Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered, and Endling – Extinction is Forever for Essential tier subscribers. Levelling up your subscription tier will unlock extras games including PlayStation classics, Twisted Metal, and Twisted Metal 2.
What’s with the whole PlayStation Plus relaunch?
The PlayStation Plus relaunch has now rolled out around the world, transforming the PS Plus we once knew into a three tiered subscription service that bundles in and expands what was once PlayStation Now. The classic PS Plus is now called PS Plus Essential, giving access to online multiplayer gaming, cloud save backups, exclusive offers and at least 2 free monthly games. PS Plus Extra then adds a catalogue of PS4 and PS5 games into the mix, while PS Plus Deluxe and Premium (depending on your region) adds older PS2, PS1 and PSP game emulation, and game streaming for PS3 and other titles.
