Games Leaving PS Plus in October

Whenever new games are added to PlayStation’s subscription service, PS Plus, other games inevitably leave. This week, Sony announced 16 games coming to PS Plus in September, which means that a number of games will have to leave in October.

Checking the next wave of games to leave the service, it appears that there are 10 games that won’t make it through October. An exact date for their departure has not been given yet, but it is likely to be around the middle of the month, coinciding with the addition of new games.

Dragon Quest 11 will leave PS Plus next month

Of the 10 games on the chopping block, five of them come from the critically acclaimed Dragon Quest franchise. Dragon Quest Builders is a spin-off with a building theme, similar to Minecraft. Both games in the spin-off series will leave next month, alongside both games in the Dragon Quest Heroes series, which are musou games.

The mainline Dragon Quest game that will leave PS Plus is Dragon Quest 11, the most recent game in the series. The franchise will be leaving the service just ahead of the release of the Dragon Quest 3 HD2D remake in November.

Other games leaving PS Plus include Gotham Knights, Little Big Planet 3, Toukiden Kiwami, The Evil Within, and Ultra Street Fighter 4.

Players have around a month to enjoy these games before they leave PS Plus and will need to be purchased. Here’s a list of all the games leaving the service in October:

  • Dragon Quest Builders
  • Dragon Quest Builders 2
  • Dragon Quest Heroes
  • Dragon Quest Heroes 2
  • Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age
  • Gotham Knights
  • Little Big Planet 3
  • The Evil Within
  • Toukiden Kiwami
  • Ultra Street Fighter 4
