The Crew 2, Borderlands 3andCarmageddon: Max Damageare just three of the games making a swift exit from the subscription, though the biggest loss will be the removal ofYakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and the prequel to both,Yakuza 0.

The Yakuza series is acclaimed amongst critics and fans for its story, open-world and hilariously bizarre events that unfold during its single-player campaign, so it’s a real shame that new subscribers won’t have long to experience them without outright paying for them. Oddly enough the rest of the Yakuza games will remain on the service, but will likely be removed in a later month. It’s worth noting that all Yakuza games are available onXbox Game Passtoo.

The full list of games leaving in August are as follows:

Every cloud has a silver lining though, and while it’s disappointing to see these games disappear from PlayStation Plus, August will introduce a decent amount of bangers to make up for the losses. Highly rated titles like Undertale and It Takes Two will be introduced amongst others, which has definitely got fans excited for what’s to come.

PlayStation Plus subscribers have until the end of the month to play the games leaving the service, making it their last chance to give them a try before having to pay for them separately.
