Playstation Plus Is Saying Goodbye To These Games In August 2026

Starting July 21, the PS Plus Extra and Premium digital catalog is getting Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Rise of the Ronin, Firefighting Simulator: Ignite, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, Dying Light, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector and Snow Bros. Wonderland, while Premium subscribers also receive access to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy and Indigo Prophecy.

There are a few bangers on both the leaving and arriving catalog lists, and we can heartily recommend checking out Dead Island 2, Harold Halibut, Dying Light and Citizen Sleeper 2.

Note that this is a separate drop from the monthly games that PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium subscribers can download from the PlayStation Store and keep for as long as their membership remains active. That current batch, available from July 7 to August 3, is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, For the King II and CrossCode.

If all of these subscription tiers and digital catalog restrictions make your head hurt, be sure to stock up on pain relievers before the next console generation. Sony announced this summer that it will stop producing disc-based games in 2028, all but confirming that its next console, the PS6, won’t support physical media at all. Meanwhile, Xbox is similarly building out its online and cloud marketplace, and even Nintendo is pushing digital purchases with comparatively cheaper pricing and game-key cards that require an internet connection for the initial download. Valve has entered the living room market with a SteamOS PC, and the digital-first handheld market is strong. Subscriptions and licensing agreements are the present and future of video games, for better or worse.
