The games aren't being deleted – you can still buy them outright if you want to keep playing.
But all six will be removed from the PS Plus catalogue across all tiers of the membership on July 15, 2025.
And it affects gamers playing on the PS5, PS4, PSVR 2, and PSVR.

Remnant II
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
Dying Light 2: Stay Human

Job Simulator
Importantly, these games will become unplayable for PS Plus subscribers even if you've already downloaded them.
These aren't "claim" games that you install and keep forever.
In a Reddit thread about the change, fans were panicked that they wouldn't have time to play all of the games.
"Welp I've been putting off Dying Light 2 because I heard it isn't great, but I guess it's now or never," wrote one gamer.

Another gamer replied: "Me too. I just gave it another shot after playing it for 30 mins a month ago and not feeling it. Starting to get into it now.
"Now I'm worried I may not have enough time."
GLITCHY RELEASE
Elsewhere, PlayStation fans urged gamers to avoid a free title they say is glitchy – and not even worth playing.
Ark: Survival Ascended is one of the free games available to play with PlayStation Plus this month.

But some gamers say they're having trouble with the action-adventure survival title on PlayStation consoles.
One player posting to Reddit said that they spent hours playing the game – only to lose all of their progress, as spotted by
"I love crafting survival games, so I was very excited when this was announced to be on PS Plus," the user explained.
"I played it for about five hours. Save and close out, take a break.
