Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are leaving the PlayStation Plus Extra library on November 17. Sony is removing both titles from the subscription service to pave the way for GTA VI.
PlayStation likely knows most subscribers will not want to play older Rockstar games once the new release arrives. Paying to keep them on the service no longer makes financial sense for the company.
Keeping GTA V Access After Removal
Players who have not purchased the game will lose access when the November 17 deadline arrives. However, pre-ordering GTA VI offers a way to continue playing GTA V without buying it outright.
Standard or Ultimate edition pre-orders include a one-month free membership to GTA+. This subscription covers a select rotation of Rockstar titles, including GTA V, alongside in-game bonuses for GTA Online. Red Dead Redemption 2 is not included in the service.
Ten other games depart PlayStation Plus on November 17
Even with GTA+ access, players only have a two-day window between the PlayStation Plus removal and GTA VI’s launch. Memberships auto-renew after one month, requiring users to cancel manually to avoid unexpected charges.
Ten other games are leaving the PlayStation Plus service on November 17. The list includes Cricket 24, Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair, Football Manager 26 Console, Hotshot Racing, and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom.
