3 More PS Plus Extra Games Leaving Soon

Warriors All-Stars and two other Koei Tecmo games will soon be leaving the Extra and Premium tiers of PlayStation Plus. While the timing of their departures remains to be confirmed, the circumstances surrounding this development suggest they are likely to be removed from PS Plus in mid-April.

The higher tiers of Sony's subscription service have historically switched up their catalogs on the third Tuesday of every month. The latest such rotation happened on February 20, when PS Plus Extra and Premium added 13 games, all the while losing ten others. These changes are typically communicated well in advance, with the information about upcoming catalog rotations usually coming straight from Sony.

Nevertheless, Koei Tecmo has now beaten the PlayStation maker to the punch in revealing that PS Plus Extra and Premium will soon lose three of its games. The titles in question are Warriors All-Stars, Nights of Azure, and Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon. Since none of these were mentioned on Sony's previously shared list of PS Plus Extra and Premium games leaving in March 2024, it is unlikely they'll be removed from the service as part of its next catalog rotation, projected to take place on Tuesday, March 19.

Instead, it's more plausible that this trio will leave Sony's subscription library as part of next month's rotation, which is likely to occur on April 16. This theory ought to be confirmed or dismissed in a matter of hours, not least because the next wave of PS Plus catalog changes is expected to be announced on March 13.

With three of the outgoing titles for April seemingly already being revealed by Koei Tecmo, fans can expect Sony to disclose around half a dozen more departures tomorrow. That's largely because catalog rotations are more often than not a small net positive for the PlayStation subscription service, which typically adds around a dozen new games each month. For example, PS Plus Extra and Premium received 14 new games in January 2024, while losing nine others. The subsequent rotation introduced three more titles than it removed.

Following tomorrow's likely announcement of the next catalog rotation, Sony is expected to reveal the free PS Plus games for April on March 27, as those are typically confirmed on
