RPG Fans With PS Plus Will Want To Watch Out For September 2024
PlayStation Plus subscribers who plan on making their way through all the games on the subscription service may want to expedite the process. While time frames for games departing Sony's platform aren't set in stone, it's generally accepted that when a game has been available on PS Plus for over a year, there's a much higher chance that it will be removed in the near future.
