Almost 60 titles are set to leave PlayStation Now's service prior to the PlayStation Plus rebranding this summer
Sony is set to rebrand its PlayStation Now streaming service into one that can compete more directly with Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass. There will be new games added, thanks to the retro-focused PlayStation Plus Premium tier, but fans might find themselves concerned, because plenty of titles are also slated to leave the service. Users found that many games will no longer be available after May 2022, and PlayStation has yet to note that fact.
Listed on many games' PlayStation Now pages are expiry dates; starting on May 3rd, eleven games will be removed, including Akiba's Trip, No Time to Explain, Exile's End, Sonic CD--with the last one to be expected, given SEGA's announcement of all the classic Sonic games being delisted, and more. Then on May 17th, other higher-profile titles will leave, including many SEGA and Konami games, such as all Metal Gear Solid games (Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Rising, Metal Gear Solid V), all Sonic games (Sonic Adventure, Sonic Generations, Sonic Unleashed), Valkyria Chronicles Remastered, Catherine, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and plenty more, with the full list denoted below, courtesy of a Reddit user.
Perhaps the pages for these games just haven't been updated yet, and they'll be a part of the new PlayStation Plus this June, however, with the lack of any official word from Sony, things are still unclear.
