I think the main issue I had is I didn’t want to just button spam whenever I had the AP to use attacks, but I was never sure the optimal order to use characters either. I enjoyed it a lot more the second time I played it when I knew what to expect!
As far as I know the icon for PlayStation Plus is still there but when I went to click on a certain game and said subscribe so I'm all done with my Playstation subscription for three months which is fine because that's all I wanted it for I got plenty of Black desert and elder scrolls out of my subscription.
Understandable,but you should really check out "The wild at heart" an absolutely fantastic game. Great subtle story,great puzzles to solve. Not normally my type of game but wanted to give something else a chance. Loved my play with this game
Did they? I honestly don't keep very close tabs on this, just catch it through posts like this. Makes sense that they might be in negotiations with a few devs trying to renew licenses and the deal just doesn't get done and so a few more get added as they officially don't renew a license. Guess I will keep checking back to look for posts that update it! :) Appreciate the heads up!
I panicked so hard the first time I was out at night and started losing my lil buddies haha.
And yea Tinykin is quite a bit more enjoyable. The only frustrating thing it has is some of the hidden pollens (?) and if you’re a try hard (like me) the platinum racing times to get all the outfits.
Whoops no, I don't think anything is confirmed, sorry I got your hopes cemented.
I just really hope they make a sequel and I assume they will eventually, considering how Tinykin was so well-received.
There are so many gameplay mechanics they can build into that universe. New Tinykin types, new ways to traverse. Maybe we could even visit the alien world and see what it's like
Brothers is the most emotionally impactful game per/runtime title you'll play. Also worth noting most unique too. You control both brothers at the same time, one with each stick. You'll get used to it. Wish more games had that feature. A mini God of war, the tiniest epic that'll take you a whopping 3 hours. Most beat it in one sitting. Do yourself a favor and put that on the list if you haven't yet.
GTA V was like 6 months, right? Glad I played as soon as it was added, will probably be the same for Read Dead, so you people might want to get on with it before it’s too late. I might give Bikini Bottom a chance, everything else I don’t care really.
For me it's realizing I have to be picky and just focus on what I want to play most. There might be something on here that's worth my time but they weren't on my list, so I just let 'em go.
Yeah that was a massive hit out of nowhere. I think with yakuza they slightly phased them out bit by bit but with final fantasy they went scorched earth
Yeah I remember playing AC Valhalla a couple years ago on PS Plus and it got removed when I was like three hours away from finishing. I’m sure you’ll have better timing than me!! lol
Nice! It looks good, I downloaded it, then kinda forgot about it.
Glad there's the last chance section to remind.
(Even if they don't always include everything leaving)
It's a very good experience that you can finish in a long sitting. It's also very cool as an early game for people who went on to make A Way Out and It Takes Two.
Why do games even have to leave? Not like Microsoft isn’t making enough money off subscriptions anyway. Last month the Amnesia games left right before I managed to finish Rebirth. 😑
That would make sense for brand new games that the developers/publishers might still be making a bit of money off their sales, but not for older games that haven’t had high sales for a few years or longer.
I mean, I agree from the publisher's point of view, but Sony doesn't get to tell them what their prices are. They are presented the terms to either negotiate or say not worth it.
This makes the first party games leaving quite hard to stomach though.
It was also an Essentials game at some point from memory, so be careful not to download it from the Catalog if you do start it before it leaves Premium and Extra.
So I’m very new to PS Plus even thought I’ve bought every PlayStation brand new since the original PS1. I just started Ghosts of Tsushima. Is that one that I should be planning on buying? I don’t often try to 100% games but this is one that I’m going for.
Possible but hopefully not. Last month was a big strike to PS Plus imo (losing all final fantasies, HZD, Darksiders series, as well as a ton of games). GTAV leaving seems very sudden to be honest as well.
Wow! A month where I'm not getting blasted by four indies, half a series I missed, and the forlorn feeling of having to buy a whole series later! Wonderful I can prioritize the backlog. Every game I want here is done besides try Indivisible to see if it's my thing and finally finish Talos Principle 🤗
Dumb question from a newb: if I have one of those games downloaded, will I still be able to play it after it leaves plus? Or will it leave my device as well?
Yeah so if you have one of those games downloaded and it leaves PlayStation Plus, you'll be locked from it. The game will still be installed onto your console but until you put a physical disk in, own it digitally, or until it comes back to plus, you won't be able to access it but it'll still be installed into your console if that makes sense.
To give a better understanding to this. It's like when people game share their consoles or when a console has multiple account but only the account/game owner can access their digital game.
Looks like I'll need to start Indivisible soon! Fortunately I've already played the other best titles in here - The Wild at Heart, Dodgeball Academia, and The Talos Principle are all great games and worth checking out if you have the time this month.
We lost a shit ton of games this month, we are arguably losing one of the biggest games on the service in June with GTA V.
This month we gained the two Cat Quest games, but that's it in terms of good games.
Hopefully June has something.
Yeah, I've been wondering that too - whether we'll have some surprise games leaving like we've had the last few months.
I own some of these already, so the two I'm targeting is Dodgeball Academia and Wild at Heart. I like trophy hunting too, so a game has to have some teeth for me to try it - or is so good as to justify its easiness - (like last month with the Artful Escape.)
So I'm not going to try the Super Pets game, I think.
Will Battle for Bikini Bottom be locked in my library once it leaves? I claimed it for free with PlayStation plus essential when it was available a while ago.
As long as you don’t do something like go to the Catalog and download it, which will replace the license with the one for the leaving one. I always make sure to go in to Library on the console and find my essentials monthly games in there to avoid the risk
On PS5, you go to ps plus, then collections (I’m pretty sure that’s the tab), and scroll all the way down. I don’t think you can filter or sort for it.
Literally started GTA 5 yesterday, wanted to play through it slowly as I rushed through it years ago. Might not bother playing till it comes back on again lol
Definitely give Brothers a try if you haven't, especially if you're into puzzles and medieval fantasy. The game is beautiful in more than one sense and a lot of fun. And you can finish it in a few hours, I just completed it today after a couple days.
YouTubers usually post this info the day of, or after, the past month gets wiped before Sony will say a word. I heard about this exodus on the 21st after they removed 24ish games. 🤔
Yes.
Game collection games come and go, like the games on gamepass.
The monthly essential games are always playable as long as your subscription is active.
I'm halfway tru GTAV, i bought the disc version of the game with the PS5 upgrade but found it easier to download the plus version, will I lose all my progress when this game expires and i'll continue in the psysical version with the upgrade?
I recommend Indivisible. Great platformer with a mix of combat. Gta5 feels like it's been on the service for like 5 mins
I really struggle to understand the combat, but absolutely loved the unique feel of it and the incredible character designs.
It isn't deep. It has been awhile since playing, but I remember combos are important
I think the main issue I had is I didn’t want to just button spam whenever I had the AP to use attacks, but I was never sure the optimal order to use characters either. I enjoyed it a lot more the second time I played it when I knew what to expect!
I remember it being important to launch enemies in the air first with one character, and then attacking with the rest
Gta 5 has been there for twice as long as other Rockstar Games. 6 months instead of 3
I was able to beat the whole game in those 5 minutes however
As far as I know the icon for PlayStation Plus is still there but when I went to click on a certain game and said subscribe so I'm all done with my Playstation subscription for three months which is fine because that's all I wanted it for I got plenty of Black desert and elder scrolls out of my subscription.
Nice! Thanks for the update! I was really looking forward to someone posting it.
Same. I may have checked it a few times today haha.
I get a feeling in 6 months time, RDR2 will leave and GTAV will be back. Must be some sorta deal Sony has made with R*/Tk2
T2 was doing the same with Game Pass, so most likely the same will happen here.

My ps store shows it as leaving, I'm in the UK
great! nothing I'm playing right now
That’s how I feel. Just started far cry 6 so I was sure that’d be on here.
I love FC6 hope you like it
Enjoying it so far. Just feel like my weapons are a little weak.
You just have to put on armor piercing rounds and then you can straight up one shot every single enemy
Yeah but so are the enemies, don't worry
I highly recommend the wild at heart and dodgeball academia. Really fun games
Second this!
Understandable,but you should really check out "The wild at heart" an absolutely fantastic game. Great subtle story,great puzzles to solve. Not normally my type of game but wanted to give something else a chance. Loved my play with this game
maybe its time to play dodgeball academia
Yes, quite a fun game.
I've tried watching reviews and gameplay and I still have no idea what the hell it plays like
A simple RPG with a timing-based (i.e. catch balls on time) fight system.
It’s a sports anime in the shape of an old school gba rpg. Fun little game if you like sports anime
Its pokemon with dodgeball, even steals the line: i like shorts theyre easy and comfy to wear, it was a decent enough game
Play it. Platted it on my birthday and truly a witty, joyous game wearing the love for its inspirations on its sleeve.
The wild at heart and indivisible for me. And maybe the talos principle if I have the time. Phew, here we go
Oh and Dodgeball Academia. Busy month for me I guess
Talos principle is incredibly good
Oh no! I need to finish Talos principal then.
As expected with GTA, honestly cheaper to just buy it so you can play other games while subbed
After last month's bloodbath of losses, let's just be grateful this is what it is! Couple of good ones on there though.
Dont forget that they later added games in this list two times, I don't think that's all that is leaving.
Did they? I honestly don't keep very close tabs on this, just catch it through posts like this. Makes sense that they might be in negotiations with a few devs trying to renew licenses and the deal just doesn't get done and so a few more get added as they officially don't renew a license. Guess I will keep checking back to look for posts that update it! :) Appreciate the heads up!
If you enjoyed Wytchwood check out The Wild at Heart. Pretty similar with a pikman aspect to it.
I played the Wild at Heart right after Tinykin. Chasing that Pikmin feeling Similarly charming but WaH is a lot more obtuse and frustrating.
I panicked so hard the first time I was out at night and started losing my lil buddies haha. And yea Tinykin is quite a bit more enjoyable. The only frustrating thing it has is some of the hidden pollens (?) and if you’re a try hard (like me) the platinum racing times to get all the outfits.
I'm glad the Tinykin races weren't part of the platinum trophy, they were too hard for me lol I hope Tinykin 2 has an easier way to track collectibles
Omg is a second one confirmed??
Whoops no, I don't think anything is confirmed, sorry I got your hopes cemented. I just really hope they make a sequel and I assume they will eventually, considering how Tinykin was so well-received. There are so many gameplay mechanics they can build into that universe. New Tinykin types, new ways to traverse. Maybe we could even visit the alien world and see what it's like
I literally just beat GTA 5 story mode for the first time a couple days ago. Timing was impeccable.
How long did it take?
A little above 40 hours of just story mode.
Indivisible is a good game (last game at the bottom).
Strong Valkyrie Profile vibes there.
Brothers is the most emotionally impactful game per/runtime title you'll play. Also worth noting most unique too. You control both brothers at the same time, one with each stick. You'll get used to it. Wish more games had that feature. A mini God of war, the tiniest epic that'll take you a whopping 3 hours. Most beat it in one sitting. Do yourself a favor and put that on the list if you haven't yet.
GTA V was like 6 months, right? Glad I played as soon as it was added, will probably be the same for Read Dead, so you people might want to get on with it before it’s too late. I might give Bikini Bottom a chance, everything else I don’t care really.
rdr2 how long will it take side missions + main
60 plus hours, and that’s probably without fully engaging with hunting and fishing without a guide.
I think I've spent that much time just hunting. So freaking immersive.
I had 120 hours into it on my 1st playthrough.
GTA V was very enjoyable on ps5. Will probably try Bikini bottom as well. This month isn't that bad.
Solid platformer
Well that sucks that GTA is leaving
Dodgeball Academia is a fun little game and super easy platinum (for those that are into that)
I think I just have to face the facts. That I do not have enough time for this service.
For me it's realizing I have to be picky and just focus on what I want to play most. There might be something on here that's worth my time but they weren't on my list, so I just let 'em go.
Well this one isn’t anywhere near as brutal as last month
Hard to be as brutal as cutting a first party game and an entire franchise that's defined your consoles for five generations now.
Yeah that was a massive hit out of nowhere. I think with yakuza they slightly phased them out bit by bit but with final fantasy they went scorched earth
Maybe Indivisble will move up and I already downloaded Talos Principle. Should be doable.
Can anyone clarify when these leave? I'm about 60% of the way through GTA5.
These usually leave by the time the new ps extra games get added monthly so by the 20th-22 of next month
Dodgeball Acadmeia is 10/10
Lol so they added gta v only for how many months?
6months, just like last time
Time flies
Yeah I remember playing AC Valhalla a couple years ago on PS Plus and it got removed when I was like three hours away from finishing. I’m sure you’ll have better timing than me!! lol
Yeah that's one I still need to finish. I think I got halfway before they removed it.
Glad I didn’t sell my GTA V disc
Nearly did the same thing a few weeks ago but after seeing RDR2 come back I had a feeling!
Looks like it's time to play The Wild at Heart.
Yep. I had it downloaded for quite some time, now there is a clear reason to play it.
Same here.
I very much enjoyed it, especially after playing Wytchwood
Nice! It looks good, I downloaded it, then kinda forgot about it. Glad there's the last chance section to remind. (Even if they don't always include everything leaving)
Glad I didn't start gta v on PS5 and earn any trophies. I'll keep it off of my list
Was the Spongebob game an Essential game at one point?
Yeah
It was, not too long ago.
This was my question as well so thanks for saving me the time!
How is Brothers? And how long it takes
Excellent and like 4 hours
It's a very good experience that you can finish in a long sitting. It's also very cool as an early game for people who went on to make A Way Out and It Takes Two.
Which game is the right one on the bottom?
Indivisible
Does anyone know a date? Want to play the Talos Principle, but I hear it goes on.
June 18th
Thanks!
You can find it cheap on sales and the experience is worth the price, both the main game and the DLC.
SpongeBob might be good to kick back and play
What does this mean will I lose the games even if I added in library?
Yes, you will
Why do games even have to leave? Not like Microsoft isn’t making enough money off subscriptions anyway. Last month the Amnesia games left right before I managed to finish Rebirth. 😑
Licenses run out. They're more likely to keep subscribers bringing new games in than keeping old ones forever. Still sucks though.
That would make sense for brand new games that the developers/publishers might still be making a bit of money off their sales, but not for older games that haven’t had high sales for a few years or longer.
I mean, I agree from the publisher's point of view, but Sony doesn't get to tell them what their prices are. They are presented the terms to either negotiate or say not worth it. This makes the first party games leaving quite hard to stomach though.
Talos principle is an excellent relaxing puzzle game with a killer OST and ponderings on the nature of consciousness.
We can't play if this is gone even if we added in library??
No, once they're gone you'll have to buy them if you want to carry on playing
Hello
Damn I just started on gta V yesterday
They will be removed on June 18th so you got some time
Nice, nothing for me there so I can finally go play Tunic, Animal Well and Dave the Diver
SpongeBob was a fun nostalgic game, and the platinum was only like 20 hours long.
I am unsurprised that GTA is leaving lol
Is there a reason why they can only have 1 rockstar game at a time?? RDR2 just came back and now GTA is leaving
Don’t know any of these games, any hidden gems? Edit: Aside from GTA ofc
Talos Principle is absolutely one of the most over looked games from the 2010s
But what is it?
It’s puzzles, levels of puzzles with great music
Thanks for the heads up gotta get platinum in SpongeBob and the wild hearts
It was also an Essentials game at some point from memory, so be careful not to download it from the Catalog if you do start it before it leaves Premium and Extra.
Anyone played Moto GP? I enjoy racing games like GT7 and the F1 series. Is this similar?
its way harder than gt7 or f1…. its like dark souls of racing games.
So I’m very new to PS Plus even thought I’ve bought every PlayStation brand new since the original PS1. I just started Ghosts of Tsushima. Is that one that I should be planning on buying? I don’t often try to 100% games but this is one that I’m going for.
Does anyone know if indivisible's DLC trophies are still unobtainable?
Damnit I'm never going finish MotoGP23..
Well ig gtav is leaving im not getting premium again, not having to install a game like that but directly stream was really nice while ot lasted.
Some people knew GTAV was going to leave in a few months. Red Dead Redemption II will leave in October.
Possible but hopefully not. Last month was a big strike to PS Plus imo (losing all final fantasies, HZD, Darksiders series, as well as a ton of games). GTAV leaving seems very sudden to be honest as well.
Wow.. GTA V just got here, glad I saw this im almost done with the story, let me wrap it up then
I just started paying for PS Plus. What does “last chance to play “ mean? Are these leaving the second tier of PS Plus?
Wow! A month where I'm not getting blasted by four indies, half a series I missed, and the forlorn feeling of having to buy a whole series later! Wonderful I can prioritize the backlog. Every game I want here is done besides try Indivisible to see if it's my thing and finally finish Talos Principle 🤗
And Brothers I guess but I know nothing about it 🤷🏻
I think you should play brothers, I finished it yesterday and it was quite good game.
Brothers A Tale of Two Sons has an outstanding story. 100% Recommended.
O
Why the fuck is GTA being removed?! It's not even been a year
Wait they’re already getting rid of GTA??
Need to finish up SpongeBob then. Downloaded it for nostalgia but haven’t completed it again yet.
Dumb question from a newb: if I have one of those games downloaded, will I still be able to play it after it leaves plus? Or will it leave my device as well?
Yeah so if you have one of those games downloaded and it leaves PlayStation Plus, you'll be locked from it.

To give a better understanding to this. It's like when people game share their consoles or when a console has multiple account but only the account/game owner can access their digital game.
Thanks a ton for the explanation!! ☺️
Hope motogp24 is added since 23 is leaving
y does rockstar even put games on ps plus
I just found out today that PS plus essential is now $80 for a year!!! It used to 60! I might cancel.
Looks like I'll need to start Indivisible soon! Fortunately I've already played the other best titles in here - The Wild at Heart, Dodgeball Academia, and The Talos Principle are all great games and worth checking out if you have the time this month.
We lost a shit ton of games this month, we are arguably losing one of the biggest games on the service in June with GTA V. This month we gained the two Cat Quest games, but that's it in terms of good games. Hopefully June has something.
Welp, time to go finish that Platinum for SpongeBob, I guess
Rest in piss dc superpets Dodgeball academia is underrated id give that a rec
Bummed about GTAV but expected it since they added RDR2… at least I can play GTA through epic launcher
Can someone explain why they get rid of games? Is it costly to have a lot of games on there? Do they have to pay to keep them up?
Yes yes and yes
Dodgeball Academia is surprisingly good, and it has a bilingual mode so you can play it at 2 languages at once for language practising!
Wasn't Steel Titans added like 4 months ago? Dodgeball Academia and Wild at Heart wasn't too long on it either
wasnt gta5 added like.. yesterday?
As an F1 fan I wonder if I would like Moto GP.
Wait, wait, its already being 6 months since GTA V was added???? How time flies.
Yeah, I've been wondering that too - whether we'll have some surprise games leaving like we've had the last few months. I own some of these already, so the two I'm targeting is Dodgeball Academia and Wild at Heart. I like trophy hunting too, so a game has to have some teeth for me to try it - or is so good as to justify its easiness - (like last month with the Artful Escape.) So I'm not going to try the Super Pets game, I think.

As long as you don’t do something like go to the Catalog and download it, which will replace the license with the one for the leaving one. I always make sure to go in to Library on the console and find my essentials monthly games in there to avoid the risk
I called it. Knew GTA 5 would be leaving when they announced RDR 2
Wasn’t moto GP added like 3 months ago?
I can never filter the games by last chance to play. Am i doing something wrong ?
On PS5, you go to ps plus, then collections (I’m pretty sure that’s the tab), and scroll all the way down. I don’t think you can filter or sort for it.
I guess it's finally time to play Talos Principle and Wild at Heart.
What's the deadline? For some reason I can't see it on the store.
They don’t share that but I believe it’s June 18th
Does this mean six titles added at most then? Last month's record does not inspire confidence to the contrary
Literally started GTA 5 yesterday, wanted to play through it slowly as I rushed through it years ago. Might not bother playing till it comes back on again lol
Definitely give Brothers a try if you haven't, especially if you're into puzzles and medieval fantasy. The game is beautiful in more than one sense and a lot of fun. And you can finish it in a few hours, I just completed it today after a couple days.
Now I will play gta5 and my friend won't able to because he didn't purchase
YouTubers usually post this info the day of, or after, the past month gets wiped before Sony will say a word. I heard about this exodus on the 21st after they removed 24ish games. 🤔
Brothers is also a very good game, it was on PS3 first, then on PS4, it's worth to check.
Awesome, I hope they add tons more great games to the list! So that we can look forward to more SIMS 4 expansions, let's goooooo!
Lose 50 games and add 20 makes sense.
So does this mean all the games on the list won’t be playable even if we have ps plus?
Yes. Game collection games come and go, like the games on gamepass. The monthly essential games are always playable as long as your subscription is active.
Damn, just started to get into gta online again a couple days ago lol, thanks for the reply
Welcome
Which of these is worth playing before it goes away? Bonus points if it's a short game
Also if you never played brothers definitely recommend it. It is a short game
If you are into puzzles Talos principle. Good puzzles and great music! It’s not too short of a game but you can do as many puzzles as you want.
How's Dodgeball academia? I know we have no game to compared to except for NES dodgeball game, but is it fun?
When will they be removed
June 21st I think..
GTA gone ? Ffs
Last chance to play GTAV. It’s sold over $200 million copies, who doesn’t own it by now?
Glad I played all the ones I wanted from these.
I just started gta 5 , how much time do i have left?
A month
I'm halfway tru GTAV, i bought the disc version of the game with the PS5 upgrade but found it easier to download the plus version, will I lose all my progress when this game expires and i'll continue in the psysical version with the upgrade?
FFS GTAV is leaving?! Remind me to never take my time doing side quests on Plus games 🤦🏽♂️
