PS Plus Is Losing Some Of The Best Final Fantasy Games Soon

Summary Final Fantasy titles leaving PS Plus, including classics like VII and IX - a blow for subscribers.

25 titles removed from PS Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions on May 21, 2024.

Series like Final Fantasy are often associated with PlayStation, making it more of a surprise to see these titles leaving.

Sony has updated the Last Chance to Play section of its PlayStation Plus service, revealing several PS5 and PS4 titles leaving the subscription service, including many Final Fantasy titles. This is not unheard of with subscriptions such as Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, but this clear-out does seem to be larger than most, with 25 titles being removed.

As reported by Push Square, these titles will be removed from the PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium subscriptions on May 21, 2024. The complete list is as follows:

Title Console Abzu PS4 Adr1ft PS4 How to Survive 2 PS4 The Artful Escape PS5, PS4 Ashen PS4 Last Stop PS5, PS4 I Am Dead PS5, PS4 Absolver: Downfall PS4 My Friend Pedro PS4 The Messenger PS4 Jotun PS4 Sundered PS4 This Is the Police PS4 This Is the Police 2 PS4 ELEX PS4 Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 PS4 Minit PS4 Observation PS4 Final Fantasy VII PS4 Final Fantasy VIII Remastered PS4 Final Fantasy IX PS4 Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster PS4 Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age PS4 Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition PS4 World of Final Fantasy PS4

Some Of The Final Fantasy Titles Leaving Are Considered The Best In The Series

The Final Fantasy 7 Remaster Is Also Surprising With The Success Of The Remakes

While many of these are predominantly indie titles, there are several Final Fantasy titles, which is surprising considering how many players associate the long-running series with Sony's consoles with recent releases such as Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth being exclusive to the platform at launch. Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX are also widely considered two of the best games in the Final Fantasy series by both fans and critics, making their removal come as quite a blow to the PS Plus subscribers.

The version of Final Fantasy VII being removed is not the same as the recent remakes but is the 2015 remaster of the classic PlayStation title. However, with Remake and Rebirth making changes to the story, it was still nice for players to easily have the option to go back and play the original on modern consoles should they choose.

Of course, these titles aren't being completely removed from digital storefronts, so those who wish to play them can still purchase them from the PlayStation Store. PlayStation hasn't announced which titles will be added to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium following this mass removal, but considering the popularity of the Final Fantasy titles being removed, hopefully, there will be something substantial to make up for it.
