One of 2020’s Best Games is Leaving PlayStation Plus Soon
The window is closing for subscribers to dive into several titles currently featured in the PlayStation Plus catalog. As part of the ongoing rotation for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, Sony periodically refreshes its library, meaning a fresh batch of games will exit the service on July 21. Among the 12 titles departing are several standout experiences worth playing before they vanish.
Perhaps the most notable departure is Risk of Rain 2, the acclaimed co-op roguelike that emerged as a breakout sensation in 2020. This title thrusts players into a vibrant, alien landscape teeming with hazardous creatures. The gameplay loop relies on a delicate balance of risk and reward: linger in a biome to scavenge better loot, and you risk facing increasingly formidable adversaries. With a wide array of character classes and diverse item combinations, the replayability is immense. It boasts an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam with over 161,000 reviews and holds a solid 85 score on Metacritic.
Strategy enthusiasts should also take note that Tropico 6 is leaving the roster. This latest entry in the long-standing political management simulation series, developed by Limbic Entertainment, puts you in the boots of “El Presidente.” You are tasked with managing a Caribbean nation through four distinct historical eras, navigating the complexities of post-colonial governance. While it is being cycled out, fans can look forward to the arrival of Tropico 7, currently slated for a 2026 release.
Finally, there is Cursed to Golf, a unique take on a notoriously challenging sport. Trapped in a supernatural golfing purgatory, you must navigate a treacherous labyrinth of fairways and hazards to earn your way back to the living world. It is a refreshing, imaginative twist on the roguelike genre.
Here is the full list of titles scheduled to leave PlayStation Plus on July 21:
- 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)
While the service has recently welcomed major titles like Destiny 2 and Final Fantasy 16, it’s worth noting that Sony has implemented price increases across all subscription tiers. With the cost of both hardware and recurring digital services trending upward, the financial barrier to gaming continues to climb.
