12 Games Leaving PS Plus in July 2026 - Risk of Rain 2 Headlines an Unusually Large Departure

Sony’s PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers are set to lose a whopping 12 games on July 21, 2026, nearly double the typical monthly exodus. The news lands just weeks after Sony raised subscription prices across all tiers, and the departure list is headlined by the beloved co-op roguelike Risk of Rain 2. With only about a month left to play these titles, subscribers should prioritize their backlog now. This article breaks down every game leaving, why the batch is unusually large, and what you need to know before the July deadline.

The Full List of Games Leaving PS Plus in July 2026

The following 12 games will be removed from the PS Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog on July 21, 2026. The list was confirmed via the “Last Chance to Play” section on PS5 consoles and the Japanese PlayStation Store hub. Sony has not yet published an official blog post, so these titles come directly from the platform’s own in-service notifications. The list has been cross-checked against community reports on r/PlayStationPlus and early coverage from Push Square.

• Risk of Rain 2 (PS4, PS5)
• Tropico 6 (PS4, PS5)
• Cursed to Golf (PS4, PS5)
• Roki (PS4, PS5)
• Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (PS4, PS5)
• Source of Madness (PS4, PS5)
• Hundred Days (PS4, PS5)
• Onechanbara Origin (PS4)
• Get Even (PS4)
• Bomber Crew (PS4)
• Space Crew: Legendary Edition (PS4)
• Infinite Minigolf (PS4)

A few naming clarifications: “Roki” is the official PlayStation Store name for the adventure puzzle game often stylized as Röki. “Hundred Days” is listed without its subtitle “Winemaking Simulator” on the store. These are the names subscribers will see in their libraries.

Why 12 Departures Is a Bigger Deal Than Usual

The typical monthly rotation on PS Plus Extra and Premium sees between six and eight games removed. A departure of 12 titles is a notable spike, nearly double the norm, and it arrives at a sensitive moment for subscribers.

In May 2026, Sony raised PS Plus prices across all tiers. The Essential monthly plan went from $9.99 to $10.99, and the three-month plan jumped from $24.99 to $27.99. Annual plans for Extra and Premium also saw increases. With subscribers paying more, the loss of a larger-than-usual batch of games may amplify feelings of diminishing value, even if the incoming games are strong.

Sony has not offered an official explanation for the larger departure, but a look at the departing titles reveals a possible clue. Several of the outgoing games, Bomber Crew, Space Crew: Legendary Edition, and Infinite Minigolf, come from smaller publishers like Curve Digital and Green Man Gaming. That cluster suggests a specific round of expiring third-party licensing deals, rather than a random spike. This pattern may hint at Sony rotating its catalog toward larger, first-party-adjacent titles, especially after recent price hikes. Regardless of the cause, the timing means subscribers need to be more strategic than ever about what they play before it’s gone.

Risk of Rain 2, The Biggest Loss on the List

Risk of Rain 2 is the marquee departure. The co-op roguelike was a breakout hit in 2020, earning an 85 Metacritic score and an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam from over 161,000 user reviews. Its blend of frantic third-person shooting, procedural item stacking, and chaotic multiplayer sessions made it a staple of online play.

What makes its exit especially painful is the absence of a comparable roguelike in July’s incoming lineup. Subscribers who enjoy Risk of Rain 2’s loop of dying, learning, and growing more powerful will find no direct replacement next month. The game is best experienced in co-op, so players should gather friends for a few final runs before July 21.

Other Notable Departures, Tropico 6, Cursed to Golf, and Hidden Gems

While Risk of Rain 2 steals the spotlight, several other departing titles deserve attention.

Tropico 6

Tropico 6 is a city-building simulation with a distinct political satire twist. Available on both PS4 and PS5, it lets players rule a tropical island through various historical eras. Strategy fans who missed it during prior sales should give it a spin before it leaves.

Cursed to Golf

Cursed to Golf is a clever hybrid of golf mechanics and roguelike progression. It garnered a cult following for its challenging courses and deep power-up system. It’s a short, satisfying experience that can be completed in a few sessions, perfect for a quick run before the deadline.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is an action-adventure title from the team behind the Zeno Clash series. It features a bizarre art style and hand-to-hand combat that rewards experimentation. It may not have broad appeal, but it offers a unique flavor not found elsewhere on the service.

Several underrated titles also warrant a look. Roki is a beautifully illustrated puzzle adventure rooted in Scandinavian folklore. Source of Madness delivers a Lovecraftian roguelike with procedurally generated horrors. Hundred Days offers a surprisingly deep winemaking simulation. These hidden gems might not be blockbusters, but they reward exploration.

What’s Arriving in July to Offset the Losses?

Sony’s July 2026 lineup for PS Plus Extra and Premium includes some heavy hitters: Final Fantasy 16, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Life is Strange: Double Exposure. These are major releases that will undoubtedly draw attention. Yet subscribers should be careful not to dive into long RPGs while the departing games still linger.

The smartest strategy is to prioritize shorter titles from the exit list. Cursed to Golf and Roki can both be finished in under ten hours. Hundred Days and Infinite Minigolf offer quick sessions. Tackle those first, then consider whether you have time for longer experiences like Risk of Rain 2 or Tropico 6. Starting a sprawling game like Kingdom Come: Deliverance while Risk of Rain 2 is about to vanish would be a missed opportunity.

Making the Most of Your Subscription Before the July Deadline

July’s PS Plus departure is the largest in recent memory, making it critical for subscribers to act fast. Risk of Rain 2 alone is worth a final farewell, its cooperative chaos is irreplaceable. But hidden gems like Cursed to Golf and Tropico 6 also deserve attention. Mark your calendar for July 21. After that date, these 12 games will require a separate purchase to keep playing.

Meanwhile, with new heavy hitters like Final Fantasy 16 arriving, the service retains strong value despite recent price hikes. The key is being intentional: don’t let that library slip away. Play what you love while you can, and welcome the new arrivals with a clear conscience. But before you fire up Final Fantasy 16, ask yourself: have you said goodbye to this roster? July 21 is the deadline, don’t wait for a second chance.
