New titles have been added to the PS Plus Extra catalog, including a new Star Wars game and a day-one release from Don’t Nod, offering something for every gamer. However, around ten games, including popular titles like Dragon Ball Z Kakarot and Resident Evil 3, will be leaving the service by March 18, 2025. Completion times for these games vary, with strategies suggested for those looking to finish them before they disappear.
Exciting Additions to PS Plus Extra
This week marks the arrival of new titles to the PS Plus Extra catalog, and Sony has pulled out all the stops by including some blockbuster games, including the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise. Additionally, gamers can dive into the fresh offering from Don’t Nod, available from day one. With such a diverse selection, there’s truly something for everyone!
Farewell to Some Fan Favorites
However, amidst the excitement of new releases, it’s important to acknowledge that we must bid farewell to several titles. As is customary with subscription services like PS Plus Extra, the introduction of new games often necessitates the removal of older ones, much like what we see with streaming services like Netflix.
This March, prepare to say goodbye to around ten games, with the cutoff date set for March 18, 2025. Fighting game enthusiasts will feel the impact as titles like Dragon Ball Z Kakarot, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R, Mortal Kombat 11, and Street Fighter V Champion Edition are slated to leave the service. Sports fans will also have to say adieu to Monster Energy Supercross 6.
Notably, several beloved Japanese games are among those departing. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, and the Resident Evil 3 Remake are also on the chopping block. Additionally, the Life is Strange franchise will be losing both Life is Strange 2 and True Colors, continuing the trend from January.
Game Completion Times
With the knowledge of which games are leaving, it’s time to strategize your gaming sessions. For those looking to complete titles quickly, Life is Strange and Resident Evil 3 are among the fastest to finish. Here’s a breakdown of the estimated completion times for each game:
