Sony to Remove PS4 Games from PlayStation Plus in 2024
Sony has announced a significant shift in its PlayStation Plus Essentials and Games Catalog offerings, focusing exclusively on PlayStation 5 titles starting in January 2026. This change was revealed alongside the announcement of February 2025's monthly titles on the PlayStation Blog.
"As we shift to PS5, PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered for PlayStation Plus Monthly Games and Game Catalog," Sony stated. This transition will not impact the monthly titles that players have already claimed. However, any PS4 games currently in the Games Catalog will remain playable until they are rotated out as part of the regular monthly updates.
Sony emphasized its commitment to enhancing the PlayStation Plus experience, promising to continue optimizing the benefits for subscribers. These benefits include exclusive discounts, access to online multiplayer, and online game save storage. "As we shift our focus to PS5, we look forward to adding new PS5 titles monthly for you to enjoy," the company added.

The PlayStation 4, launched in 2013, has been succeeded by the PlayStation 5, which debuted in 2020. Sony noted that "many of our players are currently playing on PS5 and have shifted toward redeeming and accessing PS5 titles."
It remains uncertain whether Sony will reclassify PS4 games into the Classics Catalog, which currently features ports and remasters from PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3. Sony is expected to provide more details on this as the transition date approaches.
