PS Plus Extra removes eight games

Sony rotates PS Plus Extra with eight departures, pushing players to clear titles before the cut‑off.

These 8 PS5, PS4 Games Leave PS Plus Extra in September

Sony has updated the PS Plus Extra lineup for September. Eight games will depart the service on September 16, 2025. The removals affect both PS5 and PS4 titles and include F.I.S.T., Dragon's Crown Pro and Odin Sphere plus several others in the Last Chance to Play rotation. Redeemed or downloaded copies will stop working after the cut off, making this a real deadline for players who rely on the library for access.

Players should check their queues and finish any games they want to complete before the removal date. The Last Chance to Play section refreshes monthly with new departures, balancing the need to offer new titles with the obligation to retire older ones. The changes reflect Sony's ongoing rotation strategy to keep the catalog fresh while managing licensing costs, but they can be frustrating for backlog focused players who feel pressure to rush through games.

Rotations like this show that PS Plus Extra functions as a living library rather than a fixed storefront. For players, it means constant triage of the backlog, deciding what to finish now versus what to skip, and it raises questions about value for money when favorites disappear from the catalog.

From a strategic angle, monthly departures may support licensing deals and keep the catalog dynamic. But the cadence also risks eroding trust if the window to keep a game available is not clear. The test is how Sony communicates these windows and whether players feel they have enough time to make meaningful progress.
