Sony Confirms Initial List of PS Plus Games Leaving in January 2026- Sony has begun updating the PlayStation Store with the first confirmed list of games that will be leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium in January 2026. The information comes from the Japanese PS Store, which has started rolling out December 2025’s PS Plus lineup in regions where it’s already Tuesday, December 16.
As accurately predicted ahead of time, Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is one of the notable titles confirmed to exit the service next month, giving subscribers a limited window to jump in before it’s removed from the catalog.
PS Plus Extra and Premium Games Leaving in January 2026 (Initial List)
The following games are currently listed under the Last Chance to Play section on the Japanese PlayStation Store. While Sony has not yet officially announced departures for all regions, the company typically mirrors the Japanese list across North America, Europe, and other territories once local storefronts update.
-
Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
-
Sayonara Wild Hearts
-
SD Gundam Battle Alliance
-
Monopoly Plus
At the time of writing, the list is relatively short compared to some previous months. However, PS Plus subscribers should not assume this is the final lineup of departures.
More Games Could Still Be Added
Sony has a history of updating the PlayStation Store’s Last Chance to Play section multiple times throughout the month. In several past instances, additional titles were added closer to the removal date, sometimes resulting in a much larger wave of games leaving the service than initially reported.
Because of this, there’s still a strong possibility that January 2026 could see more departures, despite the current list appearing modest. Subscribers are encouraged to keep an eye on the PS Store over the coming weeks.
When Will These Games Leave PS Plus?
The games listed above are expected to leave PS Plus Extra and Premium on January 20, 2026, which aligns with the release of January’s next wave of catalog additions. Once removed, these titles will no longer be accessible unless purchased separately from the PlayStation Store.
With Like A Dragon Gaiden being one of the more high-profile exits, players who have been putting it off may want to prioritize it before the January refresh.
We’ll continue monitoring the PlayStation Store and will update our readers if Sony adds more games to the PS Plus Extra and Premium departure list for January 2026.
