Eight PS Plus Extra titles depart in September

Eight PS Plus Extra titles depart the Game Catalogue on September 16, erasing access unless you finish them now.

Eight games leave PlayStation Plus Extra in September

Eight titles will exit the PlayStation Plus Extra Game Catalogue on September 16. The departing lineup includes UFC 5, The Plucky Squire, Night in the Woods, Road 96, Pistol Whip, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, FIST Forged In Shadow Torch, and Dragon's Crown Pro. These are Game Catalogue titles, not the monthly Essential picks, and they will no longer be playable from the removal date even if they exist in a subscriber’s library.

The selections show a mix of genres. FIST Forged In Shadow Torch and Dragon's Crown Pro appeal to action and Metroidvania fans, while Night in the Woods offers a narrative-driven experience. Pistol Whip is a standout for PS VR2 users, and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir delivers a polished remaster vibe. UFC 5 and Road 96 are more divisive in reception, which helps explain why some players might not feel shortchanged by their departure.

Catalog churn is a reality for subscription services. The September removals remind players that a library is not a static vault but a living, negotiated collection that evolves with licensing and strategic choices. This mix of heavy hitters with genre favorites shows Sony trying to balance broad appeal with niche discovery.

For subscribers, the timing matters. It rewards quick action and can influence how people value a service. It also highlights a broader tension in game subscriptions: steady catalog access against the need to refresh and negotiate licensing. If these removals become a pattern, Sony may need clearer communications to keep trust.

Highlights

The catalog will refresh, inviting fresh discoveries for the next round of players.
