PS Plus Extra Loses Ys VIII as the PS5 Version Releases - Push Square

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana has been removed from PS Plus Extra after the JRPG's PS5 version released last week.

PS Plus Essential games and titles like GTA: Vice City - Definitive Edition have been communicating their expiry dates through listings on the PS5's hub page for the service, but Ys VIII never had one.

The move sets a concerning precedent for PS Plus: if games can be removed at will without an expiry date listed, then other PS5, PS4 titles could simply disappear overnight.

Will the same thing happen when Ys IX: Monstrum Nox receives its PS5 version next year, which is currently still part of PS Plus Extra.

It makes me hesitant to play any long games on PS Plus Extra for fear for this.

I refuse to play any RPGs on Plus because of this.

This particular game didn't interest me, but it's only a matter of time before it happens with a game that does - maybe even while I'm playing it.

But knowing they give no warning makes me highly unlikely to start such a long game, lest it disappear without warning.

As @Gaia093 said it's only a matter of time before this happens on a game we are playing...

Hmm still has the option to download on my Plus Extra (European), the PS5 version has a price but PS4 version still has option to download to console.

Of course it's good that they have a bit of everything, including RPGs on the service, but I don't see myself getting the most of my investment by playing a single 60+ hour game over psplus extra/premium?

Rather purchase my RPGs and use plus for games that are <20 hours.

Found stray on plus or plague tale requiem on game pass perfect fits for such a service.

Obviously I'm no expert, but I wouldn't think Ubisoft would remove it from their own service, so it shouldn't be removed from PS Plus Extra either

But if you are playing the game, it's safe for now
