PlayStation is making changes to its PlayStation Plus service by routinely removing games, including first-party titles, to keep the offering fresh. In a recent interview, Sony's VP of global services, Nick Maguire, explained that this strategy helps players discover new games while managing a library of over 80 collections. He emphasized the importance of engagement, noting that player involvement with the service has never been higher. PlayStation Plus won’t follow Xbox's model of releasing first-party games on day one, sticking to its own strategy instead. The upcoming titles for July include high-profile games like Diablo 4 and King of Fighters 15.

PlayStation removes games from PS Plus to keep the catalog fresh and interesting for players. This ongoing strategy is aimed at helping users discover new titles while also managing licensing agreements with third parties.

PlayStation Plus, which launched in June 2022, has evolved from its previous format into a more competitive subscription service, offering players access to a vast library of games. This evolution mirrors the gaming industry's shift toward subscription models, as seen with competitors like Xbox Game Pass. As the PlayStation platform continues to introduce new titles and refresh its game offerings, players can expect a mix of classic and contemporary titles that align with major game releases.
