Eight Games Leaving PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium in February 2025

Mark your calendars—on February 18, 2025, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will say goodbye to eight major games. Here’s the full list of titles leaving the service:

• The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition – A critically acclaimed sci-fi RPG loaded with witty writing and player-driven choices.
• Tales of Arise – One of the most popular entries in the long-running Tales series, known for its deep story and fast-paced combat.
• Tales of Zestiria – A classic Tales game featuring unique fusion-based combat and intricate storytelling.
• Tales of Symphonia Remastered – The remastered version of a legendary RPG, beloved for its unforgettable characters.
• Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition – An enhanced edition of one of the most adored entries in the Tales series.
• Outriders – A cooperative looter-shooter blending RPG elements with intense gunfights.
• Scarlet Nexus – A futuristic action RPG with telekinesis-based combat and anime-inspired storytelling.
• Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition – A remastered FPS known for its over-the-top gameplay and unique skill-shot system.

Why These Departures Matter

While PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium follow a rotating library strategy, the removal of The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition and Tales of Arise hits hard. These games have been praised for their compelling narratives, engaging combat mechanics, and replayability.

The Outer Worlds offers a satirical take on space-faring RPGs, similar to Fallout: New Vegas, while Tales of Arise revitalized the long-running JRPG series with modern mechanics and high-quality visuals. Fans of action-packed RPGs should prioritize these titles before they’re gone.

The departure of multiple Tales games also affects hardcore JRPG fans. If you’ve ever wanted to explore this franchise, now is the ideal time before these entries disappear from the catalog.

New PlayStation Plus Extra & Premium Games in January 2025

Game removals can be disappointing, but PlayStation has balanced these losses with major additions in January 2025. Here are the top new titles that were added:

• God of War Ragnarok – One of the biggest PlayStation exclusives, delivering an epic Norse mythology-inspired story.
• Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name – A gripping Yakuza side story with action-packed combat.
• Citizen Sleeper – A thought-provoking narrative-driven RPG with tabletop influences.
• Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand – A visually stunning action RPG set in a desert world of shifting sands.

With 11 new games added in total this month, PlayStation is ensuring players always have access to fresh content, even as older titles cycle out.

PS Plus Essential’s Free Games for January 2025

Even if you’re not subscribed to Extra or Premium, PlayStation Plus Essential members also get free monthly games. This month’s lineup includes:

• Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – A fast-paced multiplayer shooter centered on DC’s antiheroes.
• Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered – An adrenaline-fueled racing game featuring thrilling police chases.
• The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe – A mind-bending, satirical narrative-driven adventure.

Subscribers can grab these until the end of January 2025, after which new free games will take their place.

Final Thoughts: What’s Next for PS Plus Subscribers?

The constant addition and removal of games in PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium mirrors the successful model seen with Xbox Game Pass. While some beloved titles are leaving, new and exciting releases help maintain a dynamic gaming library.

If you’re a fan of RPGs and haven’t played Tales of Arise or The Outer Worlds yet, now is the best time to do so. Meanwhile, new additions like God of War Ragnarok ensure there’s always something fresh to enjoy.
