After last month’s bumper celebration for PlayStation Plus' 15th anniversary, Sony is back to its usual rotation. That means new titles arriving—but also some beloved ones making their quiet exit. If you’ve been eyeing a few of these epic adventures, August is your final call to play them before they vanish from the PS Plus Extra library.
These major titles are leaving PS Plus Extra this month
Sony’s subscription service continues its familiar rhythm: a fresh batch of games in, and a few high-profile names out. This month, though, the line-up of departing titles is robust. We’re talking about narrative-rich RPGs, fast-paced fighters, and a couple of delightful oddballs that you might not have gotten around to yet.
Headlining the exit is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a genre-defining open-world RPG that still sets the bar years after release. Alongside it is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, one of the more cinematic and polished action-adventure games to land on the service in recent memory.
Here’s a look at the key games saying goodbye on 19 August:
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
- Wild Hearts
- UFC 5
- TopSpin 2K25
- Ride 5
- Sword Art Online: Last Recollection
There are others on the list—especially several Sword Art Online titles, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and even the quirky Bugsnax—but these seven stand out for their sheer scope, polish, and player popularity.
How long do you need to finish them?
Time is of the essence, especially if you’re planning to not just complete, but fully platinum these titles before they disappear. Here’s a quick guide to what you’re signing up for:
- The Witcher 3: At least 50 hours for the story, and double that if you’re going for 100% completion.
- Jedi: Survivor: Roughly 20 hours to finish the main story, or 35 hours for trophy hunters.
- Wild Hearts: Expect 40 hours of monster-hunting gameplay, or well over 100 hours if you’re chasing the elusive platinum.
- UFC 5: A breezy 10-hour campaign, but upwards of 100 hours if you want every trophy.
- TopSpin 2K25: 25 hours to get through, 45 if you’re going for it all.
- Ride 5: A hardcore racing sim that could take 150 to 200 hours to platinum—easily the most time-consuming on the list.
- Sword Art Online: Last Recollection: About 30 hours for the narrative, and roughly 100 for full completion with a decent guide.
If that sounds like a lot—it is. But for dedicated gamers or those who’ve already started these titles, August is your last lap to the finish line.
Don’t miss your chance to finish these standout games
The clock is ticking, and this month’s PS Plus Extra departures include some of the most highly rated games on the platform. Whether you’re finally ready to slay beasts with Geralt, slice through the Empire with a lightsaber, or grind out racing tournaments for that platinum trophy, now’s the time.
So clear your schedule, fire up your console, and make the most of the next few weeks—because once they’re gone, they’re gone.
