PlayStation Plus Set to Lose Heavyweight Titles Including Silent Hill 2 Remake and Yakuza: Like a Dragon
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers are losing several major titles on October 20, including the Silent Hill 2 remake and Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
PlayStation Plus subscribers on the Extra and Premium tiers have until October 20 to finish up a notable batch of games rotating out of the catalog. According to reporting from Game Rant, the upcoming departure list stings more than usual because it includes several massive critical darlings and fan favorites. While Sony regularly refreshes the service library with new arrivals, the monthly removals continue to highlight the temporary nature of subscription gaming.
The most painful losses in the October wave are Bloober Team's critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 remake and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's massive RPG shift, Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Losing the Silent Hill 2 remake right as spooky season kicks into high gear is a tough pill to swallow for horror fans, especially given how well the title modernized a classic. Meanwhile, the departure of Yakuza: Like a Dragon takes away dozens of hours of brilliant turn-based combat, memorable storytelling, and community-beloved side content.
Alongside those two heavy hitters, the mid-October purge also claims Death Squared, Gloomhaven, Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, Jurassic World Evolution 2, Lake, and Rogue Lords. As we wait to see what Sony lines up as replacements for the catalog, players have a limited window to knock these titles out of their backlogs or grab them on sale if digital preservation is the goal.
