## “leaving the Library”: A Look at PlayStation Plus Titles Exiting in January
welcome back to Archyde, folks.seuls today, we’re diving into some news that might not be exactly welcome for PlayStation plus subscribers. as many of you know, the service recently enriched its Extra and Premium tiers with new additions, but like a tide that ebbs and flows, some titles are also scheduled to depart. To get some insight on what’s leaving and what it means for subscribers, we’re joined today by gaming expert Alex Hunter. Alex, thanks for being here.
**Alex:** My pleasure to be here.
Let’s get right to it then. What can PlayStation Plus subscribers expect to see disappear from the service come January 21st?
**Alex:** Subscribers are facing the loss of eleven titles overall. Some notable names include critically acclaimed titles like the Resident Evil 2 Remake and the action-packed Just Cause franchise, specifically Just Cause 3 and *Just Cause 4* (with
Alex:**
its Reloaded version). And for those who enjoy emotional narratives, both *Life Is Strange* and *Life Is Strange: Before the Storm* will also be absent from the library soon
.
Those are certainly some popular games. How might this impact PlayStation Plus subscribers, particularly those who haven’t had a chance to play these titles yet?
**alex:** For those with these games on their to-play list, it’s a perhaps disappointing development. Time can be a luxury, and now they’ll have to factor in a deadline before these titles become inaccessible via the service.
This does raise a bigger question, though: Shouldn’t subscribers have a longer heads-up about these removals? Do you think this timeframe is sufficient for players to complete these games or are they being rushed?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below - We’d love to hear from you.
**Alex:** Absolutely, this is a complex issue. It’s a balancing act for Sony – they need to maintain an appealing and rotating library, but subscribers also invest time and money in the service. A more generous heads-up could be beneficial.
Well said. Thanks for sharing your insights, Alex. And to our readers, be sure to check out Alexandre’s work on our website for more insightful gaming analysis. And remember to let us know your thoughts on these upcoming removals.until next time!
