Sony Cutting PS4 Games from PlayStation Plus Next Year

Author : Victoria Feb 25,2025

Sony is phasing out PlayStation 4 games from its PlayStation Plus Essentials and Games Catalog starting January 2026, focusing its efforts on PlayStation 5 titles.

This shift, announced alongside February 2025's PlayStation Plus monthly games, reflects Sony's observation that a significant portion of its player base now primarily uses PS5 consoles. The blog post clarified that already-obtained PS4 games remain accessible, and existing Games Catalog titles will stay available until their scheduled removal.

Future PlayStation Plus offerings will prioritize PS5 games, although Sony assures subscribers that other benefits, such as exclusive discounts, online multiplayer, and cloud saves, will continue.

With the PS5's launch in 2020 following the PS4's 2013 debut, Sony's decision aligns with the increasing PS5 user base. The company noted a trend towards PS5 game redemption and usage.

The future placement of PS4 games within the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog (currently featuring PlayStation, PS2, and PS3 titles) remains unconfirmed, with further announcements anticipated closer to the date.
