PS Plus loses four more titles in August

Removing games from the catalog without a more generous advance notice period continues to be the biggest headache for those who rely on subscriptions. Sony confirmed that four more experiences are leaving the PS Plus Extra and Deluxe categories on August 18, 2026. The removal includes notable recent productions that barely had time to breathe in the library, forcing the public to rush to finish campaigns or open their wallets at the PlayStation Store if they want to keep access to the save files.

With the latest additions, the total list of farewells has risen to nine productions leaving the platform on the same day.

Before this most recent announcement, the batch of departures already included Röki, Space Crew: Legendary Edition, Bomber Crew, Onee Chanbara Origin, and Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. Now, the complete list of exits for mid-August stands as follows:

Games leaving PS Plus Extra and Deluxe in August

Röki (PS5, PS4)

Space Crew: Legendary Edition (PS4)

Bomber Crew (PS4)

Onee Chanbara Origin (PS4)

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (PS5, PS4)

Earth Defense Force 6 (PS5, PS4)

Unicorn Overlord (PS5, PS4)

Harold Halibut (PS5)

Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4)

Losing titles of the caliber of Unicorn Overlord and Dead Island 2 highlights the bitter side of the content rotation model, since these are extensive productions that require dozens of hours of dedication. As a countermeasure to ease dissatisfaction, the company renewed the July 2026 offering by adding major releases like Rise of the Ronin and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Replacing major games with relevant new releases helps to cushion the blow on the monthly fee, but the lack of long-term stability for those who like to explore catalogs at their leisure remains a weak point of the service.
