Games Leaving PS Plus: February 2026
Eight games are leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium on February 17, 2026. The biggest loss? Cult of the Lamb, one of the most beloved indie games of the last few years, plus the recently released WWE 2K25.
If you Haven't claimed January's Essential monthly games yet, you're already too late. Those expired February 2. But you still have two weeks to finish (or start) these Extra and Premium catalog titles.
Here's what's going and what deserves your time.
What's Leaving February 17, 2026
Extra & Premium Catalog
| Game | Metacritic | Time to Beat | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rez Infinite | 89 | 2-3 hours | PS4 (Premium) |
| Cult of the Lamb | 82 | 15 hours | PS5, PS4 |
| WWE 2K25 | 80 | 20+ hours | PS5, PS4 |
| SaGa Frontier Remastered | 79 | 15-25 hours | PS4 |
| Carto | 77 | 5-7 hours | PS4 |
| The Ascent | 76 | 10-12 hours | PS5, PS4 |
| New World Aeternum | 70 | MMO | PS5 |
| Super Neptunia RPG | 62 | 15-20 hours | PS4 |
All titles will be removed from the catalog on February 17.
Note: Carto was reportedly removed from the catalog early due to a store listing issue. If you don't see it available, it's already gone. Spirit of the North was also listed in some departure announcements but appears to have been included erroneously.
Note on New World Aeternum: This game has been delisted from the PlayStation Store and its servers will shut down entirely in January 2027. Even if you purchase it, you're on borrowed time.
Already Expired: Essential Monthly Games
January's PS Plus Essential monthly games expired on February 2. If you didn't claim them, they're gone:
- Core Keeper (Metacritic 82)
- Need for Speed Unbound (Metacritic 80)
- Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (Metacritic 75)
February's replacement lineup (Subnautica: Below Zero, Ace Combat 7, Ultros, Undisputed) is available now. [See our February monthly games breakdown →]
Don't Miss: Priority Picks
If you only have time for a few, focus on these:
1. Cult of the Lamb
The must-play. Part roguelike, part cult management sim, Cult of the Lamb has you playing a possessed lamb building a following of woodland creatures while clearing dungeons filled with heretics.
The gameplay loop is addictive: run through procedurally generated dungeons, defeat bosses, recruit followers, then return to your cult to build structures, perform rituals, and keep your flock happy (or terrified). The art style is charming and sinister in equal measure.
Since launch, the game has received substantial free updates and the paid Woolhaven expansion, adding dozens of hours of content. If you've been putting this off, now's the deadline.
Time commitment: 15 hours for the main story. Completionists can hit 20-30 hours.
2. Rez Infinite
Best for short sessions. Rez Infinite is a rhythm-action shooter that's been critically acclaimed since the Dreamcast era. This definitive version includes the original game plus Area X, a stunning new stage built for VR.
You lock onto enemies in time with the music, building layers of the soundtrack as you progress. It's a short game, but the kind you replay for score chasing and the sheer audiovisual experience.
If you have PS VR or PS VR2, this is one of the best VR experiences available. Even without VR, it's worth the 2-3 hours.
Time commitment: 2-3 hours for a full playthrough. Individual runs take 30-45 minutes.
3. WWE 2K25
For wrestling fans. The latest entry in the WWE 2K series features over 300 superstars, improved chain wrestling mechanics, and an expanded MyRISE career mode. Critics called it one of the best wrestling games in years.
The catch: it launched at full price just months ago, so losing it from PS Plus stings. If you're a wrestling fan who hasn't tried it, this is your last chance to play without buying.
Time commitment: Career mode runs 20+ hours. Multiplayer is endless.
Quick Takes on the Rest
- SaGa Frontier Remastered: Classic JRPG with 8 unique character stories. Deep combat system, but the nonlinear structure isn't for everyone. Each story runs 15-25 hours.
- Carto: Charming puzzle adventure where you rearrange map pieces to change the world. 5-7 hours, great for a relaxing afternoon. May already be unavailable (see note above).
- The Ascent: Cyberpunk twin-stick shooter with gorgeous environments. Better with co-op. 10-12 hours for the campaign.
- New World Aeternum: Amazon's MMO brought to console. Servers shutting down in 2027, so there's limited reason to invest time here.
- Super Neptunia RPG: Side-scrolling JRPG spin-off. Fans of the Neptunia series may enjoy it, but mixed reviews (62 Metacritic) suggest most players can skip this one.
FAQ: Games Leaving PS Plus
Can I still play these games after February 17?
No, unless you purchase them. Unlike Essential monthly games (which stay in your library permanently once claimed), Extra and Premium catalog games are only available while they're in the catalog and you maintain your subscription.
Will these games come back to PS Plus?
Some games do return to PS Plus catalogs, but there's no guarantee. Cult of the Lamb leaving suggests its licensing deal has ended.
What if I'm mid-playthrough?
Your save data stays intact. If you buy the game or it returns to PS Plus later, you can pick up where you left off.
What's the difference between Essential, Extra, and Premium departures?
Essential monthly games have a one-month claim window. Once claimed, they're yours as long as you subscribe. Extra and Premium catalog games can be removed at any time, and you lose access immediately when they leave the catalog.
What's New This Month
February isn't all departures. The new monthly games soften the blow:
- Subnautica: Below Zero (Metacritic 82)
- Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (Metacritic 80)
- Ultros (Metacritic 77)
- Undisputed (Metacritic 70)
