Get Ready, Gamers! PlayStation Plus Games Leaving in October 2023
Hey there, fellow gamers! I’ve got some news that might make you drop your controller in disbelief. Brace yourselves because in October 2023, a whopping 16 games will be leaving PlayStation Plus. Yeah, it’s a major hit to the PS Plus library, especially after Sony just announced a price hike for their subscription-based service. It’s like facing a challenging boss battle right after losing your most powerful weapon. Ouch!
Prepare for Farewell
If you’ve been engrossed in the Far Cry or Yakuza series lately, I’ve got some grim news for you. Next month, both Far Cry 5 and Yakuza 5 Remastered will bid us farewell. Talk about a race against time! Yakuza 5 Remastered alone takes more than 50 hours to complete. So, you better schedule some serious playdates with Kiryu if you want to finish it before it leaves PlayStation Plus. And don’t forget about the smaller yet unmissable titles like Limbo and Inside. These gems deserve a spot on your gaming bucket list.
Stay In the Loop
Just like your favorite TV shows and movies on streaming services, PlayStation Plus regularly adds and removes games from its library. It’s kind of like a game of musical chairs, where you never know when your favorite game might disappear from the lineup. That’s why it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on which games are due to leave. Stay informed and stay ahead!
Games Leaving PlayStation Plus Extra | October 2023
Hold onto your controllers because this month, there’s a whole bunch of games being pulled from PlayStation Plus. Here’s the full list:
PlayStation Plus Essential Delivers the Goods
But hey, it’s not all doom and gloom. PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers were recently treated to another trio of games. Check out these awesome titles:
- Saints Row (PS5 | PS4)
- Black Desert – Traveler Edition (PS4)
- Generation Zero (PS4)
We gave Saints Row a solid 7/10 in our review when it was released back in August 2022. Our reviewer, Jim, had this to say: “After so many facelifts, there were fears Saints Row would fail to recapture the unconventional beauty of the earlier games, but this reboot proves how adept Volition is when it comes to reinventing their flagship franchise. This latest outing is my favorite game in the series to date, so while basic combat and dips in visual quality are disappointing, they did little to keep me away from Santo Ileso. You’ll struggle to find anything ground-breaking, though this sandbox is bursting with entertaining things to do, ideal for sharing with a partner in crime.” Sounds pretty awesome, right?
The PlayStation Plus Relaunch: A Whole New Level
Back in 2022, PlayStation Plus underwent a massive relaunch worldwide. It transformed what we knew about PS Plus into a three-tiered subscription service that bundled in and expanded upon PlayStation Now. The classic PS Plus is now called PS Plus Essential, offering online multiplayer gaming, cloud save backups, exclusive offers, and at least 2 free monthly games. PS Plus Extra then adds a catalog of PS4 and PS5 games into the mix. And for those in regions with PS Plus Deluxe and Premium, you even get older PS2, PS1, and PSP game emulation, as well as game streaming for PS3 and other titles. It’s like unlocking a whole new level of gaming possibilities!
