With the March offerings already in play, Sony has outlined the games scheduled to depart from PS Plus Extra and Premium services come April 2024. Subscribers should take note that 11 titles have been announced to be removed from the platform next month. It’s worth mentioning that Sony might update this lineup with additional departures, hence the current list may not represent the final count.

Amidst the updates, there was some initial confusion with regard to the imminent exodus of three Koei Tecmo games, which were announced to be leaving PS Plus. Given that the announcement was made just one week before March’s roster was due to be updated, many subscribers mistakenly presumed these games — Nights of Azure, Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon, and Warriors All-Stars — would be exiting in April. In contrast, they have already been removed earlier in the week. However, for those interested, there is a silver lining as these games are now being offered at substantial discounts for PS Plus members.
