A hot month of April is coming to an end and a radiant May is already ahead of us in terms of video games (the month of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Redfall, among many others). In terms of subscription services, companies are also fine-tuning what is to come, good proof of this is that we already have the games coming to PlayStation Plus Essential… but also those leaving PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium.
Unfortunately for gamers, May is going to be a bad month in terms of releases. In fact, a total of 32 games are leaving the service. We put the list below and then comment on it in detail:
- Balan Wonderworld
- Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy!

The case of Spidey
There are many games to highlight within the 32 that are leaving, but Marvel’s Spider-Man is really striking. This title is owned by Sony, that is, it has been developed by PlayStation itself (by Insomniac Games, to be exact). For this reason, it is surprising that it is removed from the subscription service considering that it is their own, not to mention that its second part is coming out this year.
On the other hand, there are also other names to highlight in the list. For example, the departure of games like Resident Evil, Shenmue III or two installments of the Metro saga are important losses. In fact, we are talking about true great games, as is also the case with This War of Mine. The “good” thing is that you still have time to get your hands on them, since they are leaving this coming May 16, that is, you have two weeks to play them.
The collection, also outside
Beyond these 32 games, May also leaves us with some sad news in terms of releases. When PlayStation 5 hit the market, Sony made the PlayStation Plus Collection available to users. This compilation of games was available to all gamers who subscribed to the service when purchasing a PS5 (or already were).
For a long time we fantasized that this collection would grow as the weeks went by, but the reality has been that not only has it not grown, but this May 9 it will disappear forever. This is almost the twenty or so video games that will vanish as if Thanos were snapping his fingers. You have another two weeks -more or less- to get hold of them (and in this case, the quality level of the titles seems to us to be very high, more than the previous 32).
