"2026 is rapidly approaching like a cruise missile over the horizon, and with it comes an important reminder: PS4 games will no longer be included in the monthly PlayStation Plus Essential freebies. Ok, before we go any further, let me dispel any fears: PS4 games are not being removed from PlayStation or anything insane like that. And there will still be PS4 titles in the game catalogue which is available on the more expensive PlayStation Plus Extra tier."
"'As many of our players are currently playing on PS5 and have shifted toward redeeming and accessing PS5 titles from the Monthly Games and Game Catalog benefit, PlayStation Plus is also evolving with this trend and will focus on offering PS5 titles through the Monthly Games and Game Catalog benefit starting January 2026,' said Sony at the time. Mind you, despite what Sony says, there's actually a lot of people still on PS4."
Beginning January 2026, PlayStation Plus Essential monthly free games will include only PS5 titles. PS4 games will not be removed from PlayStation entirely and will continue to appear in the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalogue. Sony said the change follows a shift toward PS5 play and redemption of PS5 titles from Monthly Games and the Game Catalog. Sony reported 124 million monthly users in June, with the PS4 still comprising roughly a third, about 40 million. The change may prompt PS4 owners who subscribe only for Essential monthly games to cancel or upgrade to a higher tier.
