GTA 5 Leaves PlayStation Plus This November [Full List]

Grand Theft Auto 5 is officially departing the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalog in mid-November 2026, forcing millions of console subscribers to purchase standalone copies to retain active access to Rockstar Games' sprawling open-world crime epic. According to verified reports from Insider Gaming, the departure lineup features ten console titles scheduled to cycle out of Sony's subscription library. Chief among them are two heavy hitters from Rockstar Games, alongside beloved indie gems and mid-tier action titles. While Sony regularly rotates its subscription offerings to manage licensing fees and prepare for upcoming seasonal expansions—much like the industry trends tracked in the [Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.5 & Edgerunners II [Update 2026]](/news/cyberpunk-2077-patch-updates-2026) coverage—the removal of Grand Theft Auto 5 marks a major shift for everyday multiplayer communities. GTA 5 previously joined and exited the catalog in previous service windows, demonstrating Rockstar's cyclical distribution strategy to push direct retail and digital sales. Subscribers who downloaded the game via their tier membership will lose access immediately once the catalog refreshes on November 18, unless they purchase a permanent digital license on the PlayStation Store before the deadline.
