PS Plus’ free games catalog is seeing a massive exodus this month, so Sony is going to need to bring the heat with new additions.
One of the most bittersweet aspects of the current games-on-demand trend is the revolving-door nature of the industry’s biggest subscription platforms. Services like Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus get new games every month, but they also say goodbye to various titles on a regular basis. It’s easy to get captivated by new games coming to PS Plus and similar services, but while players are looking forward to the newest arrivals, other titles are usually sneaking out the back door.
This is exactly what’s happening this month, as PlayStation Plus is losing a whopping 18 games. Sony’s on-demand service has been closing the distance to Xbox Game Pass, which many still consider to have the superior library of games, while also reaching a wider audience thanks to its presence on PC. Both of these platforms, however, suffer from a somewhat fickle nature, as players are constantly learning about the departure of certain titles, some of which can be very time-consuming and therefore unable to complete on a tight deadline. Sony drops a dozen-and-a-half of its best games this month, and it needs to balance the scales with some heavy hitters.
