"I poured my life into those games, spending countless, brutal hours in crunch alongside an incredibly talented team to make sure they were perfect.

GTA 5 And Red Dead Redemption 2 Are Leaving PS Plus, But You Still Have Time
While a whole bunch of new games are being added to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog this month, it looks like Sony is making room for them by removing several titles over the next few weeks. We don’t know exactly when they will be gone, but you can expect 11 games to be removed over the next couple of weeks, including two of Rockstar's biggest open-world adventures: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto 5 . We've known for a while that GTA 5 was on its way out , but it looks like Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive are making sure there are no distractions for the November 19 launch of GTA 6. It's worth noting that both games have been in and out of the PS Plus Game Catalog, so they'll probably be added back at some point in the future. GTA 5 rotated back into the library in November 2025, while Red Dead Redemption 2 returned to the PS Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog in May. Tho
