Risk of Rain 2, Tropico 6, Cursed to Golf, and more are on the chopping block.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sony has confirmed that 12 games will be removed from the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalog on July 21, 2026. The &#8220;Last Chance to Play&#8221; section was updated on June 16 across PS5 consoles worldwide, giving subscribers roughly one month to play through these titles before they disappear. While no massive blockbusters are on the chopping block this time, several critically acclaimed indie and strategy games are departing, including Risk of Rain 2 with its Metacritic score of 85.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full List of Games Leaving PS Plus in July 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following 12 games are confirmed to leave PS Plus Extra and Premium on <strong>Tuesday, July 21, 2026<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risk of Rain 2<\/strong> (PS4, PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tropico 6<\/strong> (PS4, PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clash: Artifacts of Chaos<\/strong> (PS4, PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>R\u00f6ki<\/strong> (PS4, PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Source of Madness<\/strong> (PS4, PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cursed to Golf<\/strong> (PS4, PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hundred Days: Winemaking Simulator<\/strong> (PS4, PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onee Chanbara Origin<\/strong> (PS4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get Even<\/strong> (PS4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bomber Crew<\/strong> (PS4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Space Crew: Legendary Edition<\/strong> (PS4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Infinite Minigolf<\/strong> (PS4)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial list of 10 games was first spotted on the Japanese and Asian PS Store pages. Two additional titles, Bomber Crew and R\u00f6ki, were added when the US and European store regions updated shortly after. Sony occasionally adds more games to the departure list or removes titles without warning, so subscribers should keep an eye on the Last Chance to Play section for any last-minute changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Departing Games Are Worth Playing Before July 21?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Risk of Rain 2<\/strong> is the standout departure this month. Developed by Hopoo Games, this roguelike third-person shooter holds an 85 on Metacritic with glowing reviews from outlets like IGN (9\/10) and GameSpot (8\/10). The game shines brightest in online co-op, where its randomized runs and escalating chaos create a wildly replayable loop. With over 9,700 player ratings and a 4.5-star average on the PS Store, it has a devoted fanbase. If you have not tried it yet, this is your last window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tropico 6<\/strong> is a beloved political simulation and city-builder where you play as the dictator of a tropical island nation. The Next Gen Edition brought improved performance and visuals to PS5 and carries a strong 4.8\/5 user rating on retail platforms. Strategy fans who enjoy management sims will find dozens of hours of content here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cursed to Golf<\/strong> blends golf mechanics with roguelike progression in an inventive and surprisingly deep package. It scored 80 on Metacritic (PC) and was praised for its art direction and creative gameplay systems, though some reviewers noted the difficulty could be punishing. It is a short, satisfying experience perfect for a weekend session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>R\u00f6ki<\/strong> draws from Scandinavian folklore to deliver an atmospheric point-and-click style adventure with a focus on exploration and puzzle-solving. It earned a solid 76 on Metacritic and is a calm, story-rich experience ideal for players looking for something different from the usual action fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get Even<\/strong> is a psychological thriller from The Farm 51 that mixes first-person exploration, puzzles, and gunplay with a disorienting narrative. It divided critics, but players who enjoy story-driven mysteries with unexpected twists tend to come away satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Cyberpunk 2077 Leaving PS Plus in July?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been the biggest question heading into July. According to PlayStation Lifestyle&#8217;s confirmed departure list, <strong>Cyberpunk 2077 is safe for now<\/strong> and does not appear among the 12 games being removed. However, the RPG was added to PS Plus Extra in July 2025, meaning it has been in the catalog for a full year. Predictions from outlets like GamingBible and community analysts suggest it could still be added to the departure list later, as Sony sometimes updates the list after the initial reveal. Keep checking the Last Chance to Play section on your PS5 console for any late additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Was Added to PS Plus Extra in June 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While games are leaving, the June 2026 catalog refresh brought a strong lineup of additions to PS Plus Extra and Premium. The headline arrivals include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Final Fantasy XVI<\/strong> (PS5) : available from June 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sonic X Shadow Generations<\/strong> (PS4, PS5) : available from June 10 in select regions, June 16 globally<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kingdom Come: Deliverance<\/strong> (PS4, PS5) : June 23 in pilot markets, June 16 elsewhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Life is Strange: Double Exposure<\/strong> (PS5) : June 23 in pilot markets, June 16 elsewhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Farming Simulator 25<\/strong> (PS5) : June 30 in pilot markets, June 16 elsewhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blades of Fire<\/strong> (PS5) : June 30 in pilot markets, June 16 elsewhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Black Desert<\/strong> (PS5) : June 30 in pilot markets, June 16 elsewhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gitaroo Man<\/strong> (PS4, PS5) : Premium only, June 16<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">June also marked a significant structural change: Sony began testing a new <strong>staggered weekly rollout<\/strong> in the US, UK, and Japan, where catalog games are released on different dates throughout the month instead of all at once. All other regions received the full lineup on June 16 as before. Sony described this as &#8220;exploring new ways to deliver PlayStation Plus Game Catalog titles in select markets.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PS Plus Price Increases: What Changed in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The July departures come at a time when PlayStation Plus subscribers are already dealing with a global price increase that Sony announced in May 2026. New pricing took effect on May 20, with the monthly Essential tier rising to $10.99 \/ \u20ac9.99 \/ \u00a37.99. In most regions, existing subscribers retain their old pricing until they cancel or change plans. However, some markets, including Turkey and India, saw immediate price increases applied to current subscriptions as well, drawing significant backlash from the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For subscribers weighing whether to maintain their Extra or Premium plans, the July catalog swap is a useful checkpoint. While losing 12 games is never ideal, the June additions (headlined by Final Fantasy XVI and Sonic X Shadow Generations) represent strong value. The catalog continues to rotate regularly, with the next wave of additions expected alongside the July 21 refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens When a Game Leaves the PS Plus Catalog?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a game is removed from the PS Plus Extra or Premium catalog, you lose access to it through your subscription. Your save data remains on your console and in cloud storage, so if you later purchase the game outright or it returns to the catalog, you can pick up right where you left off. Monthly games claimed through PS Plus Essential work differently: once added to your library, they stay accessible as long as your subscription is active, regardless of catalog rotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things Players Usually Ask<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I still play these games if I buy them separately?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Purchasing a game from the PlayStation Store gives you permanent ownership. Even after it leaves the PS Plus catalog, a purchased copy stays in your library indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does this affect PS Plus Essential subscribers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The departing titles are part of the Extra and Premium game catalog. Essential subscribers do not have access to this catalog, so they are not directly affected by these removals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will the July 2026 PS Plus Extra additions be announced?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sony typically reveals new Extra and Premium catalog additions a few days before they go live. Since the current games leave on July 21, expect the new July lineup announcement around mid-July. The new titles usually become available on the same day the departing games are removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could more games be added to the July departure list?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Sony has a pattern of occasionally updating the Last Chance to Play section after the initial reveal. Additional games may appear in the coming weeks before the July 21 deadline, so it is worth checking the section regularly on your console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Cyberpunk 2077 confirmed safe for July?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of the latest update, Cyberpunk 2077 does not appear on the official departure list. However, it has been in the catalog for a full year since July 2025, and community predictions suggest it could still be removed later. No official confirmation has been given either way beyond its absence from the current list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony has confirmed that 12 games will leave PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on July 21, 2026.
