PlayStation Plus Catalog Refresh: Nine Games Leaving, New Titles Arriving in August

It's time for the monthly PlayStation catalog refresh, and alongside an infusion of new games for PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers, Sony has confirmed nine titles that will be leaving subscribers' libraries soon. It's a super-sized removal because five of these games were originally scheduled to depart the service in July, but Sony extended their stay through August.

The following titles will disappear from the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog on August 18 (the first five were supposed to be removed in July):

Bomber Crew

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos

Onee Chanbara Origin

Roki

Space Crew: Legendary Edition

Dead Island 2

Earth Defense Force 6

Harold Halibut

Unicorn Overlord

PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers have until August 18 to get all they can out of these games, or just buy them outright.

Starting July 21, the PS Plus Extra and Premium digital catalog is getting Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Rise of the Ronin, Firefighting Simulator: Ignite, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, Dying Light, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector and Snow Bros. Wonderland, while Premium subscribers also receive access to Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy and Indigo Prophecy.

There are a few bangers on both the leaving and arriving catalog lists, and we can heartily recommend checking out Dead Island 2, Harold Halibut, Dying Light and Citizen Sleeper 2.

Note that this is a separate drop from the monthly games that PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium subscribers can download from the PlayStation Store and keep for as long as their membership remains active. That current batch, available from July 7 to August 3, is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, For the King II and CrossCode.
