PS Plus Games: Sony’s PlayStation Plus subscription service regularly updates its game catalog across all tiers—Essential, Extra, and Deluxe—by adding new titles each month. However, this also means that some games are removed from the service on a monthly basis. According to TrueTrophies, a total of 14 games are set to exit the PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers in January 2025.  


If there are any games you’ve been meaning to try, now is the time to play them before they’re removed. With the rotation of titles following the departures in December 2024, new additions have already been introduced—though a few of them are also scheduled to leave soon. Here’s a detailed look at the games leaving the service.

PS Plus: Things To Keep In Mind


For PS Plus Essential subscribers, be sure to add any departing games to your library before they’re removed. Once added, you’ll retain access to them as long as your subscription remains active.


Extra and Premium members have until January 14 to take advantage of the titles available in their respective tiers. Whether you’re after quick platinum trophies from It Takes Two and Life Is Strange or looking for a tougher challenge with Just Cause 3 and Dragon Ball FighterZ, there’s something for every player.


Keep in mind that this list is based on data from an EU PSN account, so availability may vary by region. For the most up-to-date information, check your local PlayStation Store. With time running out, this is a great opportunity to dive in, wrap up any unfinished quests, and complete your trophy collections before these games disappear.
