PlayStation Plus members are set to lose another batch of 14 games next month, with major titles like EA Sports UFC 5, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt scheduled for removal in August 2025. The subscription service regularly refreshes its game catalog for Extra and Premium tier subscribers, adding new titles while phasing out others.

While these departures may disappoint some players, the service recently welcomed eight new games to PlayStation Plus Extra in July 2025, along with two classic titles for Premium members. Notably, Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red has joined the lineup, offering an alternative for RPG fans saddened by The Witcher 3's departure. Other significant additions include Planet Zoo, Risk of Rain 2, and New World: Aeternum. Premium subscribers can also enjoy Twisted Metal 3 and Twisted Metal 4 this month.

EA Sports UFC 5 stands out as one of the most impactful additions to PS Plus, having experienced a 127.3% player count increase after joining the service in March 2025.

Despite regular game rotations, subscription services continue to grow in popularity. Recent data shows video game subscription spending in the US reached a record $600 million in May 2025, demonstrating strong consumer interest in platforms like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass.
