Massive PS Plus Clearout Announced for May, 22 Games Leaving

Sony has recently made changes to the “Last Chance to Play” section of its PS Plus service on PS5, and unfortunately, the list of games being removed isn’t positive news. A significant 22 games are being taken off both PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium, with even some classic PS3 titles being affected this time around.

All leaving on 20th May 2025, the games set for removal are:

  • Grand Theft Auto V (PS5, PS4)
  • MotoGP 24 (PS5, PS4)
  • The Sims 4: Island Living (PS4)
  • Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) — PS Plus Premium
  • Resistance 2 (PS3) — PS Plus Premium
  • Walkabout Mini Golf (PS5) — PS Plus Premium
  • Synth Riders (PSVR2) — PS Plus Premium
  • Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord (PSVR2) — PS Plus Premium
  • Before Your Eyes (PSVR2) — PS Plus Premium
  • The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners (PSVR2) — PS Plus Premium
  • The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution (PSVR2) — PS Plus Premium
  • LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (PS4)
  • Stranded: Alien Dawn (PS5, PS4)
  • The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame (PS5)
  • Ghostrunner (PS5, PS4)
  • Payday 2: Crimewave Edition (PS4)
  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PS4)
  • Journey to the Savage Planet (PS5, PS4)
  • Portal Knights (PS4)
  • Enter the Gungeon (PS4)
  • Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4)
  • inFAMOUS: Second Son (PS4)

In May 2024, when the PS Plus service underwent a major renovation, it wasn’t surprising that some games would be taken off the platform. However, we thought that classic titles like Resistance, being first-party PS3 streaming games, would remain as permanent additions. To our surprise, this doesn’t seem to be the case. This recent removal of games marks one of Sony’s largest PS Plus clearouts, with 25 games disappearing from the platform last year.

On May 20th, all the games currently available through PS Plus will no longer be part of the service. At that time, a fresh set of games will take their place. If you wish to keep playing the games taken offline, you’ll need to purchase them separately.
