PS Plus: Things To Keep In Mind


For PS Plus Essential users, remember to add the leaving games to your library before their removal. Once added, these games remain accessible as long as your subscription is active.


Meanwhile, Extra and Premium users have until January 14 to make the most of the games from their respective lists. Whether you're aiming for easy platinum trophies with It Takes Two and Life Is Strange, or a more challenging grind with Just Cause 3 and Dragon Ball FighterZ, there's something for every type of gamer.

With the clock ticking on these titles, now is the perfect time to explore, conquer, and secure any trophies you've been chasing.
