Games Leaving PS Plus in November 2026: Full List and Dates

The PS Plus catalog changes every month: new games arrive and licenses expire. November 2026 stands out because two of Rockstar's biggest games, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, leave at the same time. If one of them is still on your backlog, you have roughly three weeks to finish it.

This guide was checked on October 28, 2026 against the departure lists published by ComicBook, PlayStation LifeStyle and Tech Insider, which all give November 17 as the removal date. Sony shows the exact date in the "Last chance to play" section of the PlayStation Store, so we recommend confirming it on your own console because regional lists can differ slightly.

Full List: 11 Games Leaving PS Plus in November 2026

The table below shows the games that appear on every list we checked. The removal affects PS Plus Extra and Premium members. Essential members did not have catalog access to these games in the first place.

Is anything else leaving in some regions?

PlayStation LifeStyle, which built its list from the Japanese and Asian PS Stores, also lists Thank Goodness You're Here as leaving in select regions. It does not appear on the other lists, so check the Last chance to play section in your region before assuming it is going.

When Exactly Do the Games Leave?

All three sources give Tuesday, November 17, 2026 as the date. That matches Sony's usual rhythm: departing games are removed on the same day the next Extra and Premium lineup goes live. Some earlier reports suggested Football Manager 26 could leave sooner because of the next game in the series, but the updated lists we checked keep it on November 17.

Where can I see the official date?

Open the game's page in the PlayStation Store. Games that are about to leave show a "Last chance to play" note with the final date. On PS5, the PS Plus hub also has a dedicated Last chance to play row.

What Changes for GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2?

These two are the biggest losses of the month. Both are long games: finishing the Red Dead Redemption 2 story alone usually takes dozens of hours, so starting it now is a race against the clock. GTA V's story is shorter, and GTA Online has its own considerations.

• Story mode progress: Your saves remain on the console or in cloud storage. If you buy the game later, you can continue where you left off.
• GTA Online: Your character and progress are tied to your Rockstar account, not to the PS Plus license. Online multiplayer on PlayStation generally requires an active PS Plus membership.
• PS4 vs PS5 versions: If you are unsure which version of GTA V you own or should buy, our GTA 5 Legacy vs Enhanced guide explains the differences.

With GTA 6 on the horizon, many players are revisiting Los Santos before the next chapter. If you are planning ahead, our GTA 6 pre-order guide covers price, editions and pre-load timing.

What Happens to Your Saves and Trophies?

When a game leaves the catalog, you lose the license to play it, not your progress. Trophies stay on your PSN profile permanently. Save files stay on your console and, if you use cloud saves, in PS Plus cloud storage. If you buy the game later, either at full price or during a sale, the game picks up your existing saves.

• Turn on cloud saves: Make sure auto-upload is enabled so your progress is safe even if you delete the game.
• Do not delete saves after the removal date: You may want them if you buy the game in a future sale.
• Check for catalog discounts: Sony sometimes offers a member discount on games that are about to leave. Look at the store page before November 17.

Which Games Should You Prioritize?

With eleven games and three weeks, it helps to plan. Here is a simple order based on length:

• Long games first: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Football Manager 26 career saves need the most time.
• Medium-length picks: The Talos Principle 2 and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom can be finished in a focused week or two.
• Quick sessions: Hotshot Racing, Rock of Ages 3 and Yet Another Zombie Defense HD work well in short bursts, especially with friends. If you like couch play, see our best PS5 split-screen games list.

How to Keep Playing After November 17

If you want to keep a game after it leaves, the simplest route is to buy it from the PlayStation Store. A PlayStation Store gift card lets you add funds to your wallet without linking a bank card, which is useful for budgeting or for gifting a game to a friend. The same wallet balance can also go toward a PS Plus renewal so you do not miss the new lineup. For context on what joined the catalog this month, see our PS Plus October 2026 catalog guide.

You can compare PlayStation gift card options on Epinpay and pick the amount that matches the games you want to keep. Make sure the card region matches your PSN account region before buying.

Prefer a different platform? Xbox also rotates its catalog every month; our Xbox Game Pass late October 2026 guide lists what is coming and going there.
