Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are among eleven games being removed from the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog. IGN reports the removals begin on November 17; GameSpot, reporting the same list, said only that the games would go over the next couple of weeks.
The catalog is the rotating library included with the Extra and Premium subscription tiers, so the change does not affect games subscribers bought outright. IGN notes that catalog titles become unplayable once they leave, even if they are already downloaded, unless they are purchased.
The full list
- Grand Theft Auto 5 (PS4, PS5)
- Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)
- The Talos Principle 2 (PS5)
- Football Manager 26 (PS5)
- Cricket 24 (PS4, PS5)
- Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (PS4, PS5)
- Hotshot Racing (PS4)
- Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break (PS4)
- Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair (PS4)
- Rapala Fishing Pro Series (PS4)
- Yet Another Zombie Defense HD (PS4)
Both Rockstar Games titles have rotated through the catalog before. GameSpot reports that Grand Theft Auto 5 returned to the library in November 2025 and that Red Dead Redemption 2 rejoined Extra and Premium in May, and says both have been in and out of the catalog, adding that it expects them to be added back at some point.
The timing sits immediately before Rockstar’s next release. GameSpot dates Grand Theft Auto 6 to November 19, two days after the removals IGN reports, and attributes the exits to Rockstar and publisher Take-Two Interactive clearing the way for that launch.
IGN points to recent additions on the other side of the ledger, including Mafia: The Old Country and Horizon Forbidden West. GameSpot adds that the current monthly PlayStation Plus downloads — F1 25, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 — are available to all subscribers until November 2.
