PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers face one of the deepest catalog cuts in the service’s history this June, with as many as 13 titles flagged for removal, including December’s headline trio of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Sony has not confirmed the list. The flag was raised on May 5, 2026, in a Reddit thread by user bahia80002 that has since spread across PlayStation forums.
The hard deadline is June 16, 2026, when the mid-month catalog refresh activates on PS5 and PS4. Sony usually publishes the official additions and removals list six days earlier, on June 10, 2026.
What’s Set To Leave PS Plus Extra And Premium In June 2026
The unconfirmed at-risk list pools two distinct waves: the stacked December 16, 2025 third-party drop reaching its six-month rotation point, and the June 2024 catalog batch hitting the 24-month mark. Most third-party games on the Game Catalog have averaged about six months on the service since 2024, with longer windows reserved for first-party titles and select Ubisoft partnerships.
Reddit user bahia80002, whose monthly removal predictions have run for over a year on r/PlayStationPlus, called the following pool as the most likely candidates. The list runs heavier on prestige third-party action games than any single removal month in 2025.
- Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (added December 16, 2025)
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage (added December 16, 2025)
- Granblue Fantasy: Relink (added December 16, 2025)
- LEGO Horizon Adventures (added to Extra December 16, 2025)
- Crusader Kings III (added June 2024, two-year window)
- Anno 1800 (added June 2024)
- Far Cry 4 (added June 2024)
- LEGO The Hobbit (added June 2024)
- LEGO The Incredibles (added June 2024)
- Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 (added June 2025)
- theHunter: Call of the Wild (added June 2025)
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (added June 2025)
- Endless Dungeon (added June 2025)
None of these are confirmed yet. Subscribers should treat the list as a planning guide for the next 40 days, not a settled outcome.
The December 2025 Catalog Drop Is About To Empty Out
Sony loaded the December 16, 2025 catalog refresh with one of the strongest third-party batches of the entire fiscal year. Sony’s December 10 PlayStation Blog catalog announcement headlined four heavy hitters in a single drop. That density is now the source of the squeeze.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Cygames’ Granblue Fantasy: Relink, and Guerrilla and Studio Gobo’s LEGO Horizon Adventures all hit the Game Catalog the same Tuesday. Each launched at full price between January 2024 and November 2024. Each landed on PS Plus well after that retail wave had passed.
Six months later, the same titles fit the rotation pattern that has governed third-party catalog stays since 2024. The 12-month window applies more to mid-tier additions; the heavy publisher partnerships have been turning over closer to twice that pace.
Ubisoft games carry one wrinkle for Premium subscribers. Premium accounts can also access Ubisoft+ Classics, which currently includes Assassin’s Creed Mirage. So the title may stay reachable for Premium subscribers even after Extra users lose it from their direct catalog on June 16.
One caveat applies to the December batch. LEGO Horizon Adventures was published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, making it a first-party title that should run longer than the six-month average. But the same cadence applied to Sony’s own Concord and Helldivers 2 catalog entries, both of which exited Extra inside a year, so first-party status is not a guarantee.
The Games You Should Finish Before They Vanish
For subscribers chasing platinums or just clearing a backlog, the December headliners do not run the same length. Three of them sit between 14 and 35 hours of main story plus side content. LEGO Horizon Adventures is the outlier, finishable in a single weekend.
| Game | Approx. Main Plus Extras | Genre | Why Finish Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| LEGO Horizon Adventures | 6 to 8 hours | Action co-op | Shortest catalog burn, easy platinum |
| Assassin’s Creed Mirage | 22 to 28 hours | Action stealth | Last classic-style AC before Shadows-era pivot |
| Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty | 25 to 35 hours | Souls-like action | Three full DLC chapters included |
| Granblue Fantasy: Relink | 20 to 30 hours | Action RPG | Endless Ragnarök expansion drops July 9, 2026 |
Granblue Fantasy: Relink sits at the top of the urgency list for one reason. Cygames is shipping the Endless Ragnarök expansion on July 9, 2026, with the open beta wrapped on April 27, 2026 per the Granblue Fantasy: Relink Endless Ragnarök product page. Subscribers losing the base game on June 16 would face an awkward three-week gap before the paid expansion arrives.
How A Six Month Cycle Tracks With Sony’s Pricing Push
Catalog churn this aggressive does not happen in isolation. It tracks with a broader strategy that has lifted PS Plus revenue 20% year over year while compressing the average lifespan of high-profile third-party additions. The headline figures from Sony Interactive Entertainment’s business data and sales page tell the story.
- 23.7 million PS Plus Premium-tier subscribers as of fiscal 2025, a 9% year-over-year jump
- 38% of all PS Plus subscribers now on Extra or Premium tiers, an 8-point lift versus fiscal 2022
- 15 countries hit with PS Plus price hikes in April 2025, ranging 8% to 21% depending on tier
- 20% year-over-year revenue growth for PS Plus, driven primarily by ARPU increases
Hideaki Nishino, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, told investors during the company’s strategy fireside chat that PS Plus pricing will continue moving “to maximize profitability” as more subscribers shift up tier. The strategy depends on the value gap between Essential and Extra staying obvious, and catalog turnover keeps that gap fresh.
External analysts read the cycle the same way. Mat Piscatella, executive director of games at Circana’s 2026 video game forecast, has tracked the trade-off plainly:
Subscription growth has flattened, and sub services on console and PC platforms account for only 10% of total video game content spending in the US.
That ceiling is why publishers like Sony lean on price hikes and ARPU gains rather than pure subscriber growth, an angle Niko Partners director of research Daniel Ahmad has tracked from the hardware side. With PS5 unable to meaningfully outsell the prior generation, Ahmad noted, Sony has leaned hard on revenue per existing user. Catalog churn lets the company book third-party licensing costs against shorter inclusion windows while presenting the catalog as constantly refreshed.
What’s Joining PS Plus In June 2026
Sony has yet to confirm the June 2026 incoming slate. Predictions point to Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Doom Eternal, and Exo One as Essential-tier monthly games, with the official Sony reveal expected on May 27, 2026.
Three Essential-tier games are also confirmed to drop off when the new monthly games activate on June 2, 2026. EA Sports FC 26, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and Nine Sols all exit Essential then. Subscribers who claimed those titles to their library still keep access for as long as they remain subscribed; only fresh redemptions are blocked.
For the Extra and Premium Game Catalog, no incoming titles have leaked yet. Sony usually fills the slate with one heavy publisher partnership and four to six smaller catalog fillers. The May 2026 batch followed that exact shape, and the running list of catalog rotations is published on the PlayStation Plus What’s New page.
When Sony Will Officially Confirm The June Lineup
The PlayStation Plus calendar runs on a tight, predictable cadence in 2026. Two distinct announcement waves and two distinct activation dates govern the month, both for incoming and outgoing titles. The fixed dates allow subscribers to plan their backlog clearance without guessing.
- May 27, 2026: Sony reveals the Essential-tier monthly games for June, plus the three confirmed Essential departures
- June 2, 2026: Essential monthly games activate; Essential-tier removals go live
- June 10, 2026: Sony announces the Extra and Premium Game Catalog additions, alongside the full Extra and Premium removals list
- June 16, 2026: Catalog refresh activates; flagged Extra and Premium games drop off
Mark June 16, 2026 in the calendar as the operative deadline for finishing or trophy-hunting any of the at-risk catalog titles. Save data persists once a game leaves, but launching the title from a subscription license becomes impossible until the game returns or until the user buys it outright on the PlayStation Store.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Check Which PS Plus Extra Games Are Leaving In June 2026?
Open the PS Plus app on your PS5, scroll to the Game Catalog section, and look for the “Last Chance to Play” row. Sony populates that row roughly 20 days before the next removal date, so it should be live around May 27, 2026. The official list also drops on the PlayStation Blog on June 10, 2026, six days before the catalog refresh activates.
Will My Save Data Still Work If A PS Plus Game Leaves The Catalog?
Yes. Save data on PS5 and cloud storage stays intact when a game leaves PS Plus Extra or Premium. The game itself becomes unplayable from the subscription license, but if you ever buy the title outright on the PlayStation Store, your previous save loads automatically. Trophy progress is preserved at the account level too, so no separate migration step is required.
Can I Still Play Assassin’s Creed Mirage On PS Plus After June 16, 2026?
Maybe, if you have Premium. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is part of Ubisoft+ Classics, which is bundled inside the PlayStation Plus Premium tier. Even if the title leaves the Extra Game Catalog on June 16, 2026, Premium subscribers should still be able to launch it through the Ubisoft+ Classics rail. Extra-tier subscribers will lose access entirely on that date and need to purchase the game outright.
How Long Does It Usually Take Sony To Confirm Games Leaving PS Plus?
About six days before the catalog refresh. Sony’s published cadence puts the Extra and Premium reveal on the second Wednesday of each month, with departures and additions listed together on the PlayStation Blog. For June 2026, that means June 10, with the actual removals taking effect on June 16, 2026. The Last Chance row in the PS Plus app generally goes live two to three weeks earlier.
Are First-Party Sony Games Like LEGO Horizon Adventures Safer From Removal?
Usually, but not always. First-party Sony Interactive Entertainment titles tend to stay 12 months or longer in the Extra catalog, versus the six-month average for many third-party games. But Helldivers 2 and Concord both exited the Game Catalog inside a year, which means LEGO Horizon Adventures is not guaranteed safe. Treat the December 2025 batch as on warning until the official June 10 list lands.
For most subscribers, June 16, 2026 is the operative deadline. Anyone holding off on a Wo Long platinum, an Assassin’s Creed Mirage finale, or a couch co-op LEGO Horizon weekend has roughly six weeks to clear the backlog before Sony’s next rotation lands. The June 10 confirmation will set the precise list, but the pattern is already on the page.
