PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers are facing a significant shift in their gaming options come December 2023. According to PlayStation Game Size, several popular titles are set to leave the service, reshaping the landscape of available games for subscribers.

Exiting Titles from the Service

Among the most notable exits are games from the Yakuza series, including "Yakuza 6: The Song of Life" and "Yakuza: Like a Dragon," and the acclaimed Middle-earth titles, "Shadow of Mordor" and "Shadow of War." These exits are particularly poignant for Yakuza fans as they occur just before the release of the next installment in the franchise, "Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth," set for January 26, 2024.

Timeframe for Players to Act

These games, along with seven others, are scheduled to leave the Sony service on December 19. This gives players less than a month from the announcement to try them out or finish their ongoing progress. For those deeply engaged in these games, this departure means they will need to purchase the titles if they wish to continue their adventures.

New Additions to PlayStation Plus

To balance these departures, Sony has introduced a new selection of games for subscribers. These include "River City Melee Mach!!", "Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen," "Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme vs. Maxi Boost On," and others. Premium members also receive exclusive access to classic titles like "PaRappa the Rapper 2," "Up," and "Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series."

Recent Bonuses for Members
