It feels like just yesterday Red Dead Redemption 2 made its triumphant return to the PS Plus lineup, beckoning us to dive back into its massive, open-world Western. But, alas, come October, it is set to bid farewell to the PlayStation subscription service once again, joined by several other notable games.
Recently, the “Last Chance” section of the PSN store for PS5 and PS4 was updated, revealing the roster of titles that will exit the PS Plus Extra library at the month’s end. Alongside Red Dead Redemption 2—back on the service since May—we’re also saying goodbye to Kingdom Hearts. That one hits hard, especially since I just introduced the first game to my kids over the weekend. Here’s a rundown of the 16 games leaving in October:
– Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)
– Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition (PS4 | PS5)
– Teardown (PS5)
– Chorus (PS4 | PS5)
– Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen (PS4)
– What Remains of Edith Finch (PS4 | PS5)
– Overcooked! 2 (PS4)
– Superliminal (PS4 | PS5)
– Blasphemous (PS4)
– Moving Out (PS4)
– Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX (PS4)
– Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (PS4)
– Kingdom Hearts III (PS4)
– Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory (PS4)
– Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxiboost On (PS4)
– Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising (PS4 | PS5)
– The Sims 4 City Living [DLC]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas leaving is another big deal. Blasphemous and What Remains of Edith Finch have both carved out a reputation for excellence. Meanwhile, Teardown emerges as a surprisingly delightful voxel-based destruction simulator. Red Dead Redemption 2’s stint this time was a brief six months, and the departure of the Kingdom Hearts series signifies yet another wave of Square Enix RPGs leaving PS Plus.
Gamers have actually become quite adept at forecasting which titles will exit PS Plus, basing their predictions on the typical six, twelve, and eighteen-month agreements most companies sign. With these metrics in mind, players had speculated that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Humanity might soon phase out too. However, they’re sticking around for now. Treat this as your six-month heads up to dive into them if you haven’t yet!
