Sony Says GTA V Will Leave PS Plus on November 17

The timing comes just before GTA VI’s launch and includes console prompts that steer subscribers toward buying or preordering, signaling a likely short-term catalog rotation rather than a permanent delisting.

First PS Plus Extra Game Removal for November 2026 Confirmed

Overview

  • Sony notified PS5 subscribers this week that Grand Theft Auto V will be available in PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalogs only until November 17.
  • The scheduled removal falls two days before Rockstar’s GTA VI launches on November 19, tying the change to the new game’s release window.
  • System messages sent to PS5 owners include prompts to play GTA V, buy a permanent copy, or preorder GTA VI, using the catalog removal as a marketing push.
  • GTA V has repeatedly cycled on and off PS Plus since December 2023, and that pattern makes this November departure likely temporary rather than permanent.
  • Sony is expected to announce the rest of November’s PS Plus departures with the service’s October 20 lineup update, and subscribers who want ongoing access must purchase the game before it leaves the catalog.
