Subscribers to the Extra tier of the PlayStation Plus subscription service should note that seven Final Fantasy games are set to leave the lineup on May 21, with 18 other titles getting the boot as well. Those who are signed up to the Essential tier of PlayStation Plus can keep those games forever as long as they stay subscribed, but the games that make up the Extra and Premium tiers are available on a rotating basis.
Basically, the PS Plus Extra and Premium games work like the defunct PlayStation Now service. New games are added on a monthly basis, and games are removed from the service every month as well. Sony doesn't make a big announcement about the PS Plus Extra and Premium departures like Microsoft does with Xbox Game Pass, but fans do know what's on the chopping block thanks to the leaving soon section.
As pointed out by Push Square, 25 games are set to be removed from PS Plus Extra on May 21. The departures include Absolver: Downfall, Abzu, Adrift, Ashen, Elex, How to Survive 2, Jotun, I Am Dead, Last Stop, Minit, Monster Jam Steel Titans 2, My Friend Pedro, Observation, Sundered, The Artful Escape, The Messenger, This is the Police, and This is the Police 2. However, PS Plus subscribers may be most concerned with the seven Final Fantasy games that are getting the boot, which include Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8 Remastered, Final Fantasy 9, Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster, Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age, Final Fantasy 15: Royal Edition, and World of Final Fantasy.
Final Fantasy was once a big selling point for PS Plus Extra, as the service made it possible to play multiple classic games in the long-running JRPG franchise in one convenient location. Considering this, it's definitely sad to see them go, especially all at once like this. Any Final Fantasy fans that may want to revisit some of these games before they're removed should definitely be sure to do so before May 21 rolls around.
There are a lot of games leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium in May 2024, but the good news is that there should be plenty of new additions as well. The PS Plus games lineup for May 2024 has yet to be announced, but more information on that front should come to light next month.

Sony recently added a free trial for one of the most controversial games of 2024 to PlayStation Plus Premium, meaning members of the service can give Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League a shot without having to spend a single extra penny. Though some may have preferred a more well-received game to be added instead, trials like these allow PlayStation Plus players to test out divisive games and make judgments for themselves on titles they may not have touched otherwise.
Unfortunately for PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers, it seems an additional seven games are leaving the service, bringing the total to a whopping 34 games that are on their way out. PlayStation Plus Extra games are removed on a monthly basis, but 34 is still a lot of games to see go removed all at one time. All 34 games are expected to be removed from the PlayStation Plus Extra tier on Tuesday, May 21.
Sony has announced the lineup of free games coming to PlayStation Plus in May. This month's PS Plus offerings include four titles, led by popular football sim EA Sports FC 24.

All four titles will be available to PS Plus members across Essential, Extra and Deluxe/Premium tiers from May 7.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is set to leave PlayStation Plus' Extra tier catalog within the month of May 2024.

PlayStation Plus is getting some exciting new additions in May, allowing subscribers to pick up a variety of games and keep them as long as a subscription is active. A small selection of rotating monthly titles is available to download across all three tiers of the service, which offer varying degrees of benefits for different price points. On the more costly Extra and Premium tiers, May will also bring new entries to a more permanent catalog that consistently adds more games than it loses.
Unfortunately for those subscribed to the Extra tier of PlayStation Plus, it appears as though Horizon Zero Dawn is leaving the service on Tuesday, May 21. Unlike the free games that make up the Essential tier of PlayStation Plus and can be kept as long as one stays subscribed, the PlayStation Plus Extra games are rotated in and out of availability, ala Netflix or Xbox Game Pass.
Sony has officially pulled the curtain back on the free games PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim in May 2024. Most of the time, the free PlayStation Plus announcement happens on the last Wednesday of the previous month, but the May 2024 free games were an exception to the rule.
It seems as though Dave the Diver is a big hit with those subscribed to the Extra tier of PlayStation Plus. The Extra tier of PlayStation Plus gives subscribers access to everything that comes with the Essential tier, like the monthly free games, as well as a huge rotating library of select PS4 and PS5 titles, ala Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation now. For the most part, the new PS Plus Extra games are comprised of older titles, but there are times when new games debut on the service.
Sony has updated the Extra tier of its PlayStation Plus subscription service to add Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, a brand-new, day one release. PlayStation Plus isn't exactly known for its day one releases, especially when compared to Xbox Game Pass, but that doesn't mean that the service is totally without day one games. In fact, numerous day one games have been added to PlayStation Plus over the years.
Sony has updated the Last Chance to Play section of its PlayStation Plus service, revealing several PS5 and PS4 titles leaving the subscription service, including many titles. This is not unheard of with subscriptions such as Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, but this clear-out does seem to be larger than most, with 25 titles being removed.
Sony routinely adds new games to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, a curated library of PS4 and PS5 titles that’s accessible to those subscribed to PlayStation Plus’ Extra and Premium tiers at no additional cost. As is the case with all such subscription services though, the PS Plus Game Catalog’s library of games is a rolling one that also routinely sees games being removed.
