Despite being more than ten years old, the PlayStation 4 continues to see new game releases, which is quite remarkable given that it has been categorized as last-gen hardware since 2020.
The PlayStation Plus subscription service not only supports the PlayStation 4 but extends its benefits to this platform as well, demonstrating Sony’s generosity. Given that the PS5 has been available for over four years, it’s likely they aim to attract more users to upgrade their console.
It seems that those of us who haven’t upgraded from our PS4 consoles yet may face significant adjustments within the next year.
Let’s late a look at the upcoming PS Plus update, and see what will happen in 2026.
What’s changing for PS Plus members on PS4?
The news is exactly what PS4 users have been dreading since the PS5 dropped in 2020.
According to a recent announcement from Sony in their official blog, starting from the coming year, PS4 games will not be a regular feature but will instead be infrequently available as part of the PlayStation Plus service.
It’s unfortunate news for PlayStation 4 users who appreciate their PS Plus subscription, but what is the specific date when these changes will be implemented?
When will the PS Plus changes take effect?
According to the blog post, starting from January 2026, PlayStation Plus will mainly provide PS5 games as part of the Monthly Games and Game Catalog perk.
Moving forward, “PlayStation 4 games will no longer be a regular perk but will instead be infrequently provided as part of the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games and Game Catalogue offerings.
Regarding the PS4 games we’ve previously downloaded through PlayStation Plus, there’s no need for concern: You will still be able to play these games even if the monthly offerings change, as long as your membership with PlayStation Plus remains active.

With approximately one year remaining, it could be time to consider making the move and purchasing a PS5. However, it’s important to remember that there are alternatives aside from PlayStation Plus. The digital store or physical game copies are still available for the PS4, and we hope it continues to provide many more years of gaming enjoyment.
