Sony is phasing out PlayStation 4 games from its PlayStation Plus Essentials and Games Catalog starting January 2026, focusing its efforts on PlayStation 5 titles.
This shift, announced alongside February 2025's PlayStation Plus monthly games, was detailed on the PlayStation Blog. Sony stated that PS4 games will no longer be a core benefit of the subscription, only appearing occasionally in the Monthly Games and Games Catalog. Existing downloads remain unaffected, and Games Catalog titles will stay accessible until their scheduled removal.
Sony emphasized its commitment to evolving PlayStation Plus, highlighting continued benefits like exclusive discounts, online multiplayer, and cloud saves. The company anticipates adding new PS5 titles monthly.
