On August 15, PlayStation Plus subscribers will see the PS Plus Extra catalogue bid farewell to 10 games. Among the notable departures are several instalments from the beloved Yakuza series, known for its immersive storytelling and action-packed gameplay, as well as the critically acclaimed Borderlands 3, a popular choice for fans of first-person shooters and looter-shooters.
Sony’s recent announcement of the new games joining the service has been met with excitement from the gaming community. The lineup includes a collection of heavy hitters, with titles like the cooperative adventure It Takes Two, which has received praise for its innovative gameplay mechanics and emotional storytelling. The indie gem Undertale, celebrated for its unique narrative and memorable characters, is also set to become part of the PS Plus offerings.
The games leaving the service in August present various genres catering to various gaming preferences. From intense shooters to exhilarating driving games and everything in between, players have had the opportunity to enjoy a wide selection of experiences during their time in the PS Plus Extra catalogue.
To ensure that players have enough time to complete any ongoing adventures or revisit old favourites, Sony has thoughtfully provided ample notice of the upcoming removals. This consideration allows subscribers to savour the final moments with these games and make the most of their gaming experiences before they are no longer available through the PS Plus Extra catalogue. Whether it’s wrapping up loose ends in the crime-ridden streets of Kamurocho in Yakuza or embarking on one last intergalactic adventure in Borderlands 3, players can cherish the remaining days with these titles.
As the gaming community looks forward to the new additions arriving on the service, there’s an air of excitement and anticipation for the adventures that await with It Takes Two, the heart-warming journey that Undertale offers, and the potential surprises that might come with future announcements. PlayStation Plus continues to be a valuable subscription service for gamers, offering a regularly updated library of games to explore and enjoy, with both classic favourites and innovative titles making their way into the mix.

Notably, the PS Plus game catalogue is bidding farewell to some prominent titles in August, particularly from the Yakuza series. Yakuza 0, which serves as a prequel to the main storyline, and the remakes Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2, retelling the tales of the first and second games respectively, are among the games leaving the service next month. These games have been well-received by players for their captivating storytelling, engaging combat, and vibrant open-world environments.
While some Yakuza titles are departing, the PS Plus Extra catalogue will still retain several other instalments from the series, ensuring fans have the opportunity to continue their Yakuza journey with titles like Yakuza 3, 4, 5, 6, and Like a Dragon.
Aside from the Yakuza games, players will also be saying goodbye to other beloved titles in the current lineup. This includes all three BioShock games, which have earned praise for their thought-provoking narratives and unique settings. The complete Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, containing Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, known for their humor and cooperative gameplay, will also be departing. Additionally, Marvel’s Avengers, which allowed players to step into the shoes of iconic superheroes, and several other games like 8-Bit Armies, Carmageddon: Max Damage, The Crew 2, DCL – The Game, GRIP, and Nidhogg, will also be removed from the PS Plus Extra catalogue.
As these games prepare to leave the service, players have a limited time to experience or complete their adventures before they are no longer accessible through PS Plus. Subscribers may want to take advantage of this opportunity to immerse themselves in these captivating worlds, whether it’s uncovering the secrets of Rapture in BioShock or embracing the life of a Yakuza in the bustling streets of Kamurocho.
With a new batch of exciting games set to join the service, including the cooperative platformer It Takes Two and the unique RPG Undertale, the PS Plus catalog continues to evolve, offering a diverse selection of gaming experiences for subscribers to enjoy.
