19 Comments

The PS Plus Extra catalog is losing 10 games on August 15, including various entries in the Yakuza series, as well as Borderlands 3. This news comes just shortly after Sony revealed the next batch of games joining the service, including a slew of heavy hitters such as It Takes Two and Undertale.

The PS4 and PS5 titles leaving the service in August (as spotted by Push Square) range in genre, from shooters, to driving games, and more. The list of games appeared in the Last Chance to Play section of the PS5 store. Thankfully, Sony has players plenty of notice to finish some of the games leaving the service next month.

Wouldn't buy those games anyways, unless where talking about assassin's creed odyssey, or Witcher 3 then yes gamepass maybe to short, as those games are ffn huge and tedious.

Luckily fallout 76 isn't.

@jecht187: Yeah, this is not a lifetime private collection of games. What you are paying $7-10 or so a month is just access, access like to a music concert, not your own private, billy joel on your couch .... collecting dust waiting for you to ask him to play. It is not like anyone thought these games rotating in the collection would stay there forever, that is just crazy.

On that, I buy physical, every chance I can. And then resale, give away, barter, trade, etc. I am not a collector, but if I can resale a $60 game for $40 back on Amazon... that means I just paid $20 for my hobby I love so much, gaming. Once I beat a game, it is dead to me, I rarely replay games.

BUT... I do have subs to GP and PS+, and while these games rotate off, you often time, most times, are given these games monthly - I am not sure what PS is called Premium games or something. They offer 2-3 games on both consoles, give or take, that once you tag them or add them to your library, you then have access to them from then on. Mostly likely, only as long as the console exists.

So every time you see a free game per month on any of these subs, be sure to add it.

Streaming services are the downfall of great games. BTW, way of topic here, I just found out that I was changed 119 for PSpremium, is there any way to get the money back. I don’t want to support that crap. I never had it on autopay they must have changed it when I paid 40$ to give it a try from basic to premium was a good deal for a year. Just can’t remember

@gotgames: Every time you activate PS+ it turns on Auto Renew. You have to disable it every time.

If it just activated, you can probably get it refunded. But don't use email or chat services. Those guys suck. Use their call in service. I hear they're actually helpful.

@mooglestar: Finishing games with a short attention span must be difficult for you.

@Crazy_sahara: I beat the two games the regular way anyone would beat them. I still don't get what you're saying. You said I beat them in story mode? What is that? And what was the regular thing everyone else was doing?

PS Premium keeps becoming even more pointless compared to Extra
