PlayStation Plus is Losing Some Heavy Hitters This December
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Sony is removing several major titles, including Sonic Frontiers, Forspoken, and Battlefield 2042, from the PlayStation Plus library in December 2025.
Sony is preparing another rotation for the PlayStation Plus game catalog, and a fresh wave of titles is heading for the exit. If you have been putting off your backlog, now is the time to prioritize a few specific games before they leave the service. According to IGN South Africa, prominent titles like Sonic Frontiers, Forspoken, and Battlefield 2042 are all marked for departure in December 2025.
For active subscribers who juggle their playtime across live service updates and massive single player campaigns, subscription library removals always create a small panic. Battlefield 2042 in particular relies heavily on an active player base, so losing its presence in a major subscription tier might shift matchmaking dynamics. Meanwhile, open world adventures like Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers require a solid time investment, meaning you will need to clear your weekend schedule if you want to finish them before the license expires.
Rotations like this highlight the shifting nature of digital ownership in modern gaming. While services like PS Plus give us incredible access to massive libraries without buying every title individually, content churn means our digital shelves are never truly permanent. If you want to keep playing these specific games long term without worrying about departure dates, keep an eye out for upcoming holiday sales where these titles will likely drop in price.
