Games Leaving PS PLUS (January 2025) - Predictions and Recommendations

[@OliveOcelot]

The Official List: RESIDENT EVIL 2 (correct) HARDSPACE SHIPBREAKER (correct) JUST CAUSE 3 (correct) LIFE IS STRANGE (correct) + Before The Storm Games I didn't predict leaving in video: LEGEND OF MANA SECRET OF MANA DRAGONBALL FIGHTERZ STREET FIGHTER JUST CAUSE 4 All the other games from this video are staying. Most happy about Session Skate Sim. It's not leaving! Neither is Lego city or Shadow Tactics.

[@Aeruw]

Japan always have the same rotation ?

[@OliveOcelot]

@@Aeruw like 90%. Sometimes there's an odd game on their list that we don't have. Or one leaves for us and not them. I'll update this pinned comment and the description of the video (chapters) when we officially get it here at 1pm.

[@Aeruw]

@@OliveOcelot It was just added in the EU store, same list + hold em world poker championship

[@OliveOcelot]

@@Aeruw thanks for the EU update!

[@AAZ25]

Please keep doing these every month! Glad i found your channel, super useful info and saved me some $ already

[@OliveOcelot]

Yes I might make it a monthly series! If it's accurate, then I'll get confidence predicting more. But either way, you get exposed to new games every month.

[@Speedgaming_]

It's clearly unbelievable how many underrated youtubers are out there, keep it up man🎉🎉❤

[@OliveOcelot]

Thanks for the kinds words and the sub. I hope this video is accurate (we'll find out in a week or two) and I hope it helps people start early on these games if they haven't already.

[@ImperiumUE]

💯

[@redzzder7951]

Great video hope this turns into a series

[@OliveOcelot]

Thanks. I'll do them anyways. Just for you. Excited to see how many predictions come true. Then people will tune in for sure. I'd hate to be inaccurate but it's part of the fun.

[@imranbohari1]

Just the kind of video that i wanted. I hope you keep this up. Thanks to you I have finally gotten around to playing judgement before it goes away. I am only a couple of hrs into it, so not sure if I can finish it before its off the shelf.

[@OliveOcelot]

Wow. Hope you're enjoying it. If you're ever unsure just focus on the main mission and don't get side tracked by the side missions as silly and fun as they are. You can play most of them later. I'd hate for you to not finish the main story in time because it's so good!

[@Aeruw]

Nice predictions indeed

[@OliveOcelot]

@@Aeruw I guess it's official. This shall be a monthly series! I thought I'd get only one or two. I was hoping I was wrong about life is strange games.

[@KillerQueen3_1]

Man, I found your channel recently because I was looking for good games on the ps plus catalog and I’m so glad I did. You definitely deserve more subscribers and you will get them cause this content is incredible, people just need to find you like I did. Already downloading Lego City and session as I write this (I also started Ghost of Tsushima a week ago because of your recommendation), thank you so much dude and keep it up !!!

[@OliveOcelot]

Wow thanks so much dude. Did I show up in search? or was I recommended to you in the feed? Either way I'm glad you found it. Let's hope the predictions are right then more people will know to tune in! That's so cool that you're playing the same games. I wanna start a book club and have a community where we all try the same game every month then talk about it afterwards lol. Let me know what you think of Session. It's like a bad good game or a good bad game. It's not for everyone but I had so much fun with it. The bails are so hilarious. Got my gf to try it on the weekend and she had some good belly laughs. Like oof that's a trip to the hospital haha.

[@KillerQueen3_1]

@ I think one of your videos was recommended below another video about ps plus games that I was watching haha The book club thing sounds cool too! We can also talk about these topics like what games could leave soon or ask for recommendations of games that others might have played already! I’ve been wanting to play a skating game for a while and had heard both fun and cool things about Session so I’m excited, I’ll let you know. Hope to have as much fun as you guys! And for the predictions🤞🏼

[@OliveOcelot]

Here's last year's video of January 2024 games. Some were only 6 month contract and already left :( kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnWVqadnjtt8nq8si=fI9tHN30NzWnVTTv

[@mateoscoppa1417]

So by now we shouldn’t be worrying about ghost of tsushima leaving right? Love these videos, thx

[@OliveOcelot]

@@mateoscoppa1417 this isn't an official announcement. Just predictions based on potentially yearly contracts. I'd wait for the official announcement in a week or two for what games are actually leaving. But if you're thinking of playing it, just start it. See if it lures you in more than whatever other game you're working on. It sucks having that fear for one of your backlog titles. A month is enough warning to beat it but not sure if it's enough to platinum it. So if it does get announced, you'll at least have a head start on it.

[@ScottMakesGames]

I remember last year they removed back 4 blood then they literally sneaked it back in again without any mention

[@redzzder7951]

They’ve done this with numerous games now it’s annoying

[@OliveOcelot]

Yea they've done that a bunch of times. You'll notice in the game library sorted by latest addition, you'll constantly see old games re-added with zero mention. I guess it would be bad PR if they said 'last chance to play' 1 week and 'new to extra' the next haha. I'm assuming they just renewed their yearly contracts with the publishers.

[@ScottMakesGames]

It's crazy that they don't renew these contracts in time so they don't have to say it's leaving then it's back literally a few weeks later

[@Deathbywayson]

Wish I knew this Sooner, Man I just Bought RE2 digital version n I ain't gotten to play it yet. Why must they do this?! So what if it comes back 2026 gamepass I gotta pay again? Should've bought the Disc version

[@OliveOcelot]

@@Deathbywayson this is only for Ps plus extra, if you bought the game, even digital version, you should be able to keep it forever. You won't be affected if it leaves Extra or gamepass.

[@Deathbywayson]

@OliveOcelot ok I got scared there for a second 🤣 thnx man this was very helpful I didn't even know PlayStation did that with games though, New Sub for sure

[@OliveOcelot]

@@Deathbywayson sorry to scare you. Lol. Games that leave will show up in the 'last chance to play' which usually gives you a new month warning. Also in your library you can tell if your game is from extra or not because in the top corner of game photo, it will show you a yellow plus symbol. That means you downloaded it from extra. If you bought the game, the yellow + symbol won't be on it and you're safe.

[@shobitchouksey3442]

Everyone must play life is strange it is masterpiece it is emotion not just a game

[@OliveOcelot]

Playing it right now!

[@pp1mh]

That's exactly why subscription is useless. You pay a lot of money and Sony doesn't even bother to let you know what's gonna disappear. They want to milk gamers as much as possible giving less and less every year.

[@OliveOcelot]

They do let you know. It's called 'last chance to play' and they usually give you a month's notice. Whenever we get new games, we lose games. Just take a peek in the menu.

[@pp1mh]

​​​ Let's be honest, 1 month in advance isn't good/long enough. And this is only if you're lucky enough to find out about it yourself. Sony should email every subscriber at least 2 months in advance. The way they inform people right now is NOT FAIR. I'd rather buy a used game and don't feel any pressure to finish it in time. Btw ps plus and digital games are way overpriced.

[@PeterHeinens-p4k]

The past month I beat like 6 games 2 we're started allready the other 4 it's not impossible to play a medium length game or multiple but if your a plat trophy hunter then yeah it's probably impossible.

[@OliveOcelot]

@@PeterHeinens-p4k nice. So 50 games beat next year should be no problem for you at that rate.

[@PeterHeinens-p4k]

@@OliveOcelot haha yeah maybe honestly it gives me a bit of a incentive trying to beat games before they leave, luckily I allready own a lot of games that leave on steam. Thanks for the great video btw very informative
