PlayStation Plus: 7 Games Leaving the Catalog in November — With 2 Big Names Among Them
November will mark the end for seven titles in the PlayStation Plus catalog — including major franchises like Battlefield and Like a Dragon!
As PlayStation Plus continues to expand its lineup with hits such as Alan Wake 2, offered this month, and Until Dawn, Silent Hill 2, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, joining the catalog on October 21, Sony is already preparing subscribers for some painful goodbyes. The “Last Chance to Play” section of the service has just been updated, confirming that seven games will be leaving around mid-November.

Seven Titles Leaving in November
According to information spotted on the Japanese PS Plus — which typically shares the same removals across regions — here’s the list of games leaving the service around November 18, 2025:
- Battlefield 5 (PS4) – EA DICE’s explosive WWII shooter, known for its massive battles, is leaving the catalog. This removal isn’t surprising, as it follows Battlefield 1’s exit last month, likely to make room for Battlefield 6, which just launched.
- Like a Dragon: Ishin (PS4/PS5) – The samurai spin-off from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio departs just after the arrival of the iconic Yakuza: Like a Dragon. A surprising move, but one that fits Sega’s pattern of rotating its franchises.
- Digimon Survive (PS4) – A story-driven RPG that blends visual novel elements with tactical gameplay, praised for its dark tone and deep narrative.
- Football Manager 2024 Console (PS5) – Sega’s flagship football management simulation bows out. Virtual managers will need to wrap up their seasons soon.
- Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes (PS4) – Suda51’s wild and meta action game full of humor and pop culture nods. A true oddball worth revisiting before it’s gone.
- Alternate Jake Hunter: Daedalys The Awakening of Golden Jazz (PS4) – A retro-styled detective adventure perfect for fans of classic mysteries.
- Synapse (PSVR2) – A mind-bending VR shooter praised for its fast-paced gameplay and sleek, futuristic design.
A Shrinking PSVR2 Catalog
Month after month, the situation remains unchanged: for PSVR2 owners, virtual reality seems to be losing ground within Sony’s service. After Pistol Whip’s removal in September and The Last Clockwinder’s departure in October, Synapse’s exit further highlights a growing concern: PlayStation Plus’s VR library is slowly fading away, with no new titles filling the gap. One removal after another, the trend suggests a gradual disengagement from VR support. Why invest in a high-end headset if the promise of a thriving, regularly updated ecosystem keeps diminishing month after month? The lack of new immersive experiences casts doubt on Sony’s long-term strategy for its most ambitious hardware.
Despite these departures and the gradual decline of VR support, PS Plus continues to evolve and surprise. Each rotation brings a fresh opportunity to discover overlooked gems or revisit beloved franchises from a new angle. For subscribers, the rule is simple: enjoy the moment and stay alert for what’s next — because the PlayStation adventure never stops reinventing itself.
