Another 10 games will be removed from PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium next month, meaning you won't be able to play them even if they are downloaded to your PS5, PS4 storage. Titles are generally cycled out as a list of new games enters the subscription service, so the following will probably be taken out on 18th July 2023. The 10 games in the Last Chance to Play section are:
- Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell
- Stray
- Rogue Stormers
- Marvel's Avengers
- BioShock Remastered
- BioShock 2 Remastered
- BioShock Infinite Remastered
- Borderlands: The Handsome Collection
- Fluster Cluck
- Raiden V: Director's Cut
With this heads-up now published, you've got roughly three weeks to get through any of the games you are interested in up above. That's enough time to complete maybe two or three of them. Obviously, there are some very significant titles included here like Stray and the entire BioShock series, so you'll want to prioritize those if you haven't played them yet.
Later today, Sony will announce the July 2023 lineup for PS Plus Essential, so you won't have to wait too long to find out a couple of the games that are replacing those listed above. What will you be focusing on before the deadline? Let us know in the comments below.

Stray already? Sickener for those that haven't got round to playing it yet.
@atthegates That's a full year on the service - not sure if that qualifies as "already"
Either way, everyone should check it out while they have the chance.
Ah, I thought Stray was PS+ essential. I guess I'll need to get the plat for both versions before it leaves.
@atthegates The Timed exclusivity comes to an end (already rated for Xbox). Game will probably go to Gamepass next
These have been on the service for close to a year so not unexpected.
Definitely try out Bioshock if you haven't played it yet.
I've still got 3 or 4 trophies remaining for the Stray platinum. I've kept putting it off. Time to pounce.
Many of these games are quite cheap when they are on sale, I bought Bioshock collection long time ago for about 10$. So if you can't play it, just wait for sale time , there are sites for monitoring PS store, but I don't wanna post a link.
i own 7 of the games on this list so i'm good.
@Dloki OMG man. Saw your profile pic and remembrered the good old days with Race Pro. What a great game that was...
Stray is a great little game I'd advise anyone play it
Oh no, not Marvel's Avengers! What a true loss to the service that will be!
@czDante92 it's a bit difficult with all the gear you must acquire to reach level 150 (if memory serves). I got it on ps5, but ended up hating it.
@atthegates stray is a perfect single sitting game for a rainy afternoon, so anybody who still wants to play it should be able to.
I’m not really a fan of this 3 week notice. Should be a month. I’ve got like 30+ games in my extra backlog. Seems like an inevitability when they’ll absolutely hammer me.
Luckily next month is alright for me. Just need to finish Stray before it leaves the service.
It's my only fear with the service, the games leaving it. For instance, I'm playing Dragon Quest XI S for months now, the game is ultra-long. The risk of it leaving always haunts me. But it's fair, a rotation of titles is expected.
@freddquadros I’m also playing DQ XI S via extra so I absolutely get where you coming from. I’m 65+ hours in & pretty sure I started that game in April/early May.
I’m going for the platinum though so it’s going to take me like another 40 hours. Would’ve been crushed if that game was leaving next month.
Don't miss out on Stray! Such a gem!
Thinking of trying at least the first Bioshock and Raiden V.
All this time and I still haven't beaten Stray. Definitely time to fix that
Saw the list and noticed a game I haven't heard of, Rogue Stormers. Watched the trailer. It looks like a rogue-like Contra game. Will check it out before it goes. So many games on these plus tiers, easy to miss some.
@Fight_Teza_Fight That's it!! I already finished the main game, but there is lot's of post-game content, and a true ending.I will hunt for the plat too, and right now i'm in 51%, 34 of 57 trophies. 80+ hours played already. This game is huge, (and very good), so let's pray they leave it there at least one more year.
I thought subscription services are bad and publishers/devs hate them. Jim Ryan said so.
@romando if you read properly before you jump in comment session, you would know he means gamepass model where it releases day one AAA games.
@freddquadros Yep I spent like 5 hours just in the casino to get the accolades for the trophy.
Funny thing was that I bet the max 2k on every number & the treasure on the roulette & after about an hour got 3 jackpot treasures In a row for a million coins each😂.
Great game. Too long though.
Didn't we get Stray and Marvels Avengers on Essential anyway? Or am I mistaken and I'm about to lose access to them? Not overly bothered if so, but it would be nice if I had the chance to play them at a time of my choosing.
Ahhh not bioshock!!
@tomassi Stray was definitely not on essential. Idk about Avengers but you're better off without that one away
The entire Bioshock series is a massive loss.
@Logonogo Yeah, not interested in Marvel stuff to be honest so that's fine. Surprised about Stray though, I thought it was a keeper for some reason.
@czDante92 that sounds exiting
The only real big lost is Stray because the Bioshock games were on regular PS Plus some time before Ps Plus Extra service existed.
@BeerIsAwesome
This game is infinitely more forgivable when it's essentially a "free to play". Still very unpolished but not as awful as it was for 80 bucks.
@mrbone Which tbh doesn't make much sense because the only AAA games releasing day one on GP are Microsoft published titles. Stray launched day one on PS Plus - did they hate it? The whole thing is an absolute farce from both sides.
It shows the date now, july 18, so we got about 20 days.
Avengers worth to play if you chose story missions they are great. I want to replay before it's taken out of extra tier.
I signed up for ps plus extra last month but so far it's been a disappointment. I thought that assasin's creed valhalla was in it, but it was removed.
I recently started playing stray but the game is also going away. I guess this service is not for me, I much prefer gamepass.
Stray... What an overrated piece of mediocrity that was.
@MikeOrator I can at least say I've played it, but I also never had the urge to return to it. I may drop in one final time just to run through the story on the easiest possible mode.
@BeerIsAwesome
Don't get me wrong t wasn't enough to keep me engaged either. However, I find that most games on any tier of the Plus service I can't stick with. I think I need to pay the price at retail in order to be motivated enough to finish a game.
@romando No. Stray is an indie game. What he means is releasing AAA games which cost about 200 million on sub day 1. Microsoft did that but very few first-party AAA since GP launch. You just try to group 2 companies with different visions as a farce. Hard disagree.
@MikeOrator A game earned is psychologically different to a game given to you, to be fair. I have finished a number of games from Plus, but I've also abandoned far more after just a couple of goes.
@mrbone I don't necessarily think the visions in this particular case they are fighting are that much different. The only vision is money yet they both somehow try to convince everyone that they are fighting the good fight for customers - MS by getting Call of Duty even to Switch users and "providing many gamers access to a huge library of games for cheap" and Sony by trying to stop monopolization from, let's be honest, the least profitable company of the three (they have so much money because of Windows, Office and Azure).
If the deal doesn't go through MS is going to pull a child and "take their toys home" - definite goodbye to TES VI on PS. If it goes through we will see Sony chasing studios to buy - probably Square Enix.
