25 PS5 and PS4 Games Set to Leave PS Plus in May — Here’s the List

25 games are set to leave PlayStation Plus next month as part of one of the biggest clearouts of the subscription service.

As reported by Push Square, 25 PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games leave PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium on May 21, 2024, including eight high-profile Final Fantasy games. Highlights include Beethoven & Dinosaur’s wonderful guitar adventure The Artful Escape, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 15, and Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster.

The news comes as indie hit Dave the Diver hits the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Tales of Kenzera: Zau releases day one into the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on April 23. Tales of Kenzera: Zau is an EA-published, Surgent Studios-developed 2.5D story-driven, action-exploration game shaped by Assassin’s Creed actor Abubakar Salim’s own experience with grief.

Sony is yet to announce the games coming to PS Plus in May, but we know Shared Memory’s Animal Well is among them. The upcoming Metroidvania is a day-one PS Plus Extra and Premium title, and has a release date of May 9. Animal Well lets players explore a dense interconnected labyrinth and unravel its many secrets in a surreal, puzzle box world of platforming adventures. IGN called it a “delightfully unconventional take on a puzzle platformer” in our first preview of the game back in 2022.
