According to Sony’s official schedule, a fresh wave of nine games will leave the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalog on August 18, ending access for subscribers without a separate purchase.

Subscribers have slightly more than three weeks from the announcement date to download and play the affected titles through their subscription.

The nine titles confirmed for removal are:
- Dead Island 2
- Harold Halibut
- Space Crew: Legendary Edition
- Earth Defense Force 6
- Roki
- Unicorn Overload
- Onee Chanbara Origin
- Bomber Crew
- Clash: Artifacts of Chaos
Did you know? While the PlayStation Plus game catalog loses titles monthly, Sony simultaneously introduces a new batch of games around the same time to replace them, ensuring the overall library size remains dynamic for Extra and Premium members.
