As August 2024 approaches, PlayStation Plus subscribers are gearing up to bid farewell to 10 PlayStation Plus Extra games. These titles, including fan-favorites like Lost Judgment and Sea of Stars, will be leaving the service on August 20. While it’s always bittersweet to see beloved games depart, subscribers can look forward to new additions to the service on the same day. However, the new games have yet to be announced, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s to come.
For those unfamiliar with how PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium work, these tiers of the service operate similarly to platforms like Netflix or Xbox Game Pass. Instead of permanently owning the games offered through these tiers, subscribers have access to a rotating selection of titles that are periodically swapped out for new ones. This means that while the free games provided through the Essential tier can be kept indefinitely, the Extra and Premium tiers offer a constantly evolving library of games.
In August 2024, PlayStation Plus subscribers were initially informed of five games set to leave the service, including Destroy All Humans: Reprobed, NBA 2K24, Need for Speed Unbound, SpellForce 3 Reforced, and Trials of Mana. However, an additional five titles have been added to the list of departures, bringing the total number of games leaving PS Plus Extra to 10. The newly announced departures include Destroy All Humans, Lost Judgment, Midnight Fight Express, Moving Out 2, and Sea of Stars, all of which are expected to be removed from the service on August 20.
Among the games set to depart in August, there are some notable titles that will be missed by players. The Destroy All Humans remasters offer a nostalgic trip down memory lane, while Lost Judgment is a part of Sega’s popular Like a Dragon franchise. Moving Out 2 provides a fun co-op experience, and Sea of Stars, a critically acclaimed game with upcoming local co-op support, will also be bidding farewell to PS Plus Extra.
While it’s sad to see these games go, subscribers can look forward to the announcement of new titles joining the service in August 2024. Sony typically reveals the new PS Plus Extra and Premium games around mid-month, so fans can expect to hear about the upcoming additions soon. In the meantime, rumors suggest that Secret Agent Clank will be making its way to PS Plus Premium, although it remains uncertain if this will be part of the August 2024 lineup.
As PlayStation Plus continues to evolve and offer a diverse range of games to its subscribers, the rotating selection of titles ensures that there’s always something new and exciting to play. While saying goodbye to beloved games can be tough, the anticipation of what’s to come keeps players engaged and eager to discover the next gaming gem on the horizon.
