This May, a fresh batch of games will be booted from the platform faster than you can say, *’I was just about to play that!’*
So, what’s on the chopping block this time? And why does Sony insist on keeping our gaming hearts perpetually broken? Let’s dive in.

Games Leaving PS Plus in May: The Predicted Casualties
Before you panic and start frantically Googling, let’s clarify: the list of games leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium in May is **still speculative**. But based on previous months, we can safely assume that some beloved titles are about to meet their untimely demise. According to this PlayStation LifeStyle article, the following games might be on the chopping block:
– **Game Title 1**: Because why wouldn’t they remove the one game you’ve been procrastinating on for months?
– **Game Title 2**: Oh, you just started it last week? Too bad.
– **Game Title 3**: A fan favorite, obviously.
Sony seems to have mastered the art of heartbreak. It’s like they’re running an experiment to see how much emotional pain gamers can endure before canceling their subscriptions.
The PS Plus Subscription Model: A Rollercoaster of Emotions
Let’s be real: PS Plus Extra and Premium are basically the gaming world’s answer to Netflix’s *’Are you still watching?*’ Except instead of asking, they just remove the show you were binge-watching. Who needs closure, right?
Here’s how the PS Plus emotional cycle works:
1. **Excitement**: You discover a treasure trove of games you’ve always wanted to play.
2. **Denial**: You tell yourself you’ll get through them all (spoiler: you won’t).
3. **Despair**: Sony announces the removal of your favorite games.
4. **Rage**: You consider canceling your subscription but don’t, because FOMO is real.
Pros and Cons of PS Plus Extra and Premium
For those on the fence about whether PS Plus is worth it, here’s a handy breakdown:
**Pros:**
– Access to a vast library of games (until they vanish, of course).
– Exclusive discounts that almost make up for the heartbreak.
– Cloud saves, because apparently, our hard drives are never big enough.
**Cons:**
– Constantly rotating library that’s basically a roulette wheel of disappointment.
– Higher subscription costs compared to other platforms.
– The existential dread of knowing your favorite game could disappear at any moment.
How to Cope with Games Leaving PS Plus
Feeling devastated? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here are some tried-and-true coping mechanisms:
– **Buy the Games**: Yes, actually purchase them. Revolutionary idea, right? Just prepare your wallet for impact.
– **Speedrun Everything**: Who needs sleep when you’ve got a deadline?
– **Complain Online**: Vent your frustrations on Twitter. Maybe even start a petition. It won’t change anything, but at least you’ll feel heard.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for PS Plus?
Sony’s strategy with PS Plus is as predictable as a plot twist in a bad soap opera. They’ll remove some fan favorites, add a few new titles, and hope we don’t notice the net loss. But savvy gamers aren’t so easily fooled. **Pro tip:** Always keep an eye on the ‘Leaving Soon’ section and plan your gaming schedule accordingly.
