Sony has announced 12 games set to leave the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium library on July 21, 2026. The most notable titles on the list are Risk of Rain 2 and Tropico 6. While there’s no major blockbuster leaving this month, there are still a few gems worth playing before they're gone.

Full List of Departing Games

The 12 games appeared in the “Last Chance to Play” section of the PlayStation Store on June 16, 2026. The selection includes both PS4 and PS5 titles, with a focus on action, strategy, and simulation genres.

When Are the Games Leaving and What Happens Next?

All titles will be removed from the catalog on July 21, 2026. On the same day, new Extra and Premium games for July will be added. Once a game leaves the catalog, you won’t be able to access it with your subscription, even if you’ve downloaded it before; access is fully revoked.

The good news: your save data isn’t deleted. If you decide to purchase the game later or if it returns to the catalog, you can pick up right where you left off. Since Sony sometimes adds or removes games without notice, it’s a good idea to check the “Last Chance to Play” section on your PS5 from time to time.

Which Games Should You Play Before They’re Gone?

While there’s no huge loss this month, a few titles stand out:

• Risk of Rain 2 If you’re after a roguelike to play with friends, this is your top pick. Supports online co-op for up to four players.
• Tropico 6 A political simulation that can steal hours of your time. If you’ve ever wanted to play as a dictator, now’s your chance.
• Get Even An underrated psychological thriller. Fans of the genre shouldn’t miss it.
• Röki A calm adventure perfect for trophy hunters, with a platinum that takes just 7 hours.

What’s Not on the List and How the Catalog Is Changing

For those worried: Cyberpunk 2077 is safe for now and not on the removal list. Also, since June 2026, PS Plus games have been added in weekly waves, two games every Tuesday, rather than all at once. However, games leaving the catalog still depart together at the end of the month.

How to Keep These Games Forever

If you want permanent access to a departing game, your only option is to buy it. To quickly top up your PS Store wallet, use a PlayStation Store gift card and add your favorites to your library before July 21. The card loads as store credit, and you might be able to grab these games for less during sales.
