Tom Phillips of IGN reported that Sony will remove 12 games from PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on July 21, 2026. Subscribers of the Extra and Premium tiers have a deadline if they want to finish any of the departing catalog titles before they disappear.
Among the games leaving are Risk of Rain 2, Tropico 6 and Roki. The date gives players a fixed window, and it lands during July 2026, when Sony is also adding Final Fantasy 16, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Life is Strange: Double Exposure to PlayStation Plus.
July 21st removal date
PlayStation Plus gives subscribers free monthly games, online multiplayer and discounts, but the Extra and Premium tiers also include a digital game catalog. That is the part changing on July 21st, when 12 titles are scheduled to leave the service.
For readers on Extra and Premium, the practical step is simple: check the departing titles now and decide which ones still matter before the cutoff. Once the catalog changes, the games named for removal will no longer sit in that no-extra-cost library.
July 2026 additions
Sony is also rolling out July 2026 additions, including Final Fantasy 16, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Life is Strange: Double Exposure. Some of those additions will arrive in a staggered rollout, so not every title will appear at the same moment.
That creates a split month for PlayStation Plus: new games are coming in while 12 others are leaving. The immediate question for subscribers is which of the listed removals they want to clear before July 21st, since the full departure list has not been laid out here.
