Key Takeaways
- 10 games are confirmed to exit PS Plus Extra in October 2024, including five Dragon Quest titles and LittleBigPlanet 3.
- PS Plus Extra subscribers have a month’s notice to play and finish these games, but more departures may be announced in the coming weeks.
As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia as I see the list of games leaving PS Plus Extra in October 2024. Games like Dragon Quest Builders and LittleBigPlanet 3, which I fondly remember spending countless hours on during my college days, are about to bid farewell.
Sony has announced that a minimum of ten games from the PlayStation Plus Extra collection will no longer be available starting October 2024. However, there’s a chance more games may be added later on. For now, gamers who have been waiting to play these PS4 and PS5 titles through the service have until the end of next month to do so.
As a dedicated fan, I always look forward to the monthly updates in the PlayStation Plus Extra game library, which typically rotate on the third Tuesday of each month. Usually, the games set to leave are announced a month ahead through the Last Chance to Play section. However, Sony has been recently adopting a habit of staggering these departures instead of revealing them all at once. For example, the captivating game 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, which was part of the September 2024 PS Plus Extra departures, had its exit confirmed with only three other games less than two weeks ago.
In summary, September 2024 marked the departure of 16 games from PS Plus Extra. Fortunately, October 2024 seems more promising, at least for the moment. The list of games available in the Last Chance to Play section on PS Plus Extra has been expanded with 10 titles, including LittleBigPlanet 3, Gotham Knights, The Evil Within, Ultra Street Fighter IV, and Toukiden Kiwami. Additionally, several Dragon Quest series games will be removed, such as Dragon Quest XI S, Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Dragon Quest Heroes, and Dragon Quest Heroes 2.
Games Leaving PS Plus Extra in October 2024
- Dragon Quest Builders
- Dragon Quest Builders 2
- Dragon Quest Heroes
- Dragon Quest Heroes 2
- Dragon Quest XI S
- Gotham Knights
- LittleBigPlanet 3
- The Evil Within
- Toukiden Kiwami
- Ultra Street Fighter IV
The removal of “Dragon Quest” games in mass is similar to the departure of “Star Ocean” series from PS Plus Extra in September 2024, which might indicate that more Square Enix games could be leaving the service soon. Known for being among the greatest turn-based JRPGs ever made, the “Dragon Quest” games are lengthy and time-consuming to complete, so subscribers of PS Plus Extra who are interested should tackle them promptly. The exit of the critically acclaimed survival horror game “The Evil Within” from PS Plus Extra is regrettable, particularly as spooky season approaches.
What many fans find most puzzling, though, is LittleBigPlanet 3 leaving PS Plus Extra in October 2024. The first-party platformer launched on PS3 and PS4 almost a decade ago, so it likely has little to no à la carte sales potential left by now. Moreover, the success of PlayStation’s latest platformer, Astro Bot, could’ve led to a popularity boost for LittleBigPlanet 3 from PS Plus Extra subscribers looking for similar experiences. Conversely, LittleBigPlanet 3‘s servers were permanently shuttered earlier this year, which may have been the final nail in the coffin for a game that relies heavily on user-generated content.
