PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers face a reduction of library options as titles leave the platform.
Games Leaving PlayS on November 17 2026
The library updates take effect on November 17, 2026, removing games including Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Other games leaving the service on that date include Cricket 24, The Talos Principle 2, Thank Goodness You’re Here!, and Football Manager 26. The departure list also features Rapala Fishing Pro Series, Yet Another Zombie Defense HD, Hotshot Racing, Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, and Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow.
For sports fans or those who craze puzzlers, users have up until November 17, 2026, to experience these titles on PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium before they are gone for good. That is 12 games in total set to leave the subscription platform this month, which will leave players with a sizable hole in their library.
Grand Theft Auto Access and GTA+ Membership
The timing aligns with the approach of Grand Theft Auto VI, prompting Sony to clear older Rockstar Games titles from the subscription tier. While users who only accessed Grand Theft Auto V through the catalog will lose access on November 17, players who pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto VI retain options to keep playing.
“We tend to be pretty judicious when we talk about this sort of thing, but our expectations were high and they are being vastly exceeded so far,” Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Squawk Box.
Pre-orders for the Standard or Ultimate edition include a one-month free membership to GTA+, which covers select Rockstar titles at no additional cost, including Grand Theft Auto V. Red Dead Redemption 2 is not included in the GTA+ lineup. Subscribers utilizing the GTA+ alternative must monitor renewals, as the membership automatically incurs charges one month after activation.
Those who haven’t purchased the game will lose access on November 17, but if you pre-ordered GTA VI to play it on day one, you’ll be able to keep playing. Aside from in-game bonuses for GTA Online, GTA+ lets you play a select number of Rockstar titles.
Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t part of the service, so for PlayStation Plus subscribers who have or will pre-order GTA VI, you’ll be able to continue your playthrough of GTA V through GTA+ if you want to.
