GAMERS are in for a shock as more than £200 worth of blockbuster titles are about to vanish from millions of PlayStations in just weeks.

Once removed, players will lose access even if they've already downloaded them – unless they buy the titles outright.
Seven titles are set to vanish, including big hitters that many fans still have in their backlog.
While it's bad news for those who've been putting them off, Sony has promised a fresh batch of games to soften the blow – but once these are gone, they're gone for good.
Games disappearing
Here's how it stands right now: all of the following titles will officially disappear by mid-September 2025, once Sony rolls out the new Extra and Premium catalogue.

That means players have just a few weeks left to wrap up their progress or grab a last playthrough before they vanish for good.
Fans should keep an eye on the Last Chance to Play tab too, as more surprise exits could still be added.
Sony has also confirmed that August's new lineup is already trickling out in Asia, the UK, Europe and the U.S.
New games dropping
Gamers are in for a real treat this month as Sony has dropped a monster line-up on PS Plus – and it's worth every penny.
Nine new titles are being added to the Game Catalogue for Extra and Premium members.

Love Island star Helena Ford appears to take a swipe at rivals as show feud explodes
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Helena Ford may have sent a subtle dig at her fellow reality TV stars just weeks after leaving the Spanish villa. Helena was in a relationship with Harry Cooksley for much of this year's Love Island series, until he decided to recouple with Shakira Khan and would go on to be runners-up. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Love Island star Helena Ford appears to take a swipe at some of her show rivals Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 She seemed to poke fun at Shakira, Yasmin and Toni Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 Helena was dumped by Harry who moved on with Shakira Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 Shakira, Toni and Yasmin said they made good friends in the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The blonde bombshell posted a video to TikTok showing her sitting in a hairdressers' chair, with her hair full of foils and it eventually cut to the final result. But it was in the voiceover to which Helena mimed to, that she may have taken a swipe at her fellow contestants, Shakira, Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet. The audio was a clip from an interview with actress Ariana Greenblatt, who played the 'mean girl' daughter in the Barbie movie. Ariana says: "Whatever, we all know blondes have more fun, because their bleach is in their hair, let's talk about it." Helena's use of the audio could be seen as a dig to Shakira, Toni and Yasmin, who were often billed as the being given the 'mean girls' edit during this series of Love Island. Her TikTok also coincided with the release of an i-D Magazine feature interview with the three Islanders where they talked about feeling grateful they could represent brunettes and in Shakira's case, the South Asian community. "What have I signed up for?" Shakira said in the i-D interview. 'Everyone's gonna love the blonde hair, blue-eyed girls, we see year in year out on Love Island. I thought, based on initial attraction, it wasn't going to go well for me, but I was pleasantly surprised.' Shakira, Toni and Yasmin also addressed the ongoing feuds and rivalries in the villa describing at "classic High School behaviour". 'We felt that massively in the changing room, the snickers, the whispers, the dirty look," Shakira said. "When you come around the corner and they stop talking, you feel isolated, it feels frosty, really tense, and it's not nice. "It wasn't a bad edit; we tried to fix it, but that was our experience, we lived it.' Despite having a rocky relationship with some of their co-stars, the trio stuck together and gracefully took on every obstacle thrown at them. Toni won the series alongside Cach and scooped a prize of £50k, while Shakira and Harry and Yas and Jamie are also going strong. Despite each bagging themselves a new fella, they have proudly said that the real prize is the friendships they made.
