Every month, the Extra and Premium tiers of PlayStation Plus have their libraries updated. Games are removed, and new games are added. In fact, a batch of new games were just added to PS Plus Extra and Premium, hot off the heels of a slew of titles getting the axe.

The good news is that there’s nothing quite on the level of Red Dead Redemption 2 leaving PS Plus this time around, but the bad news is that there are still some notable games on the way out. PS Plus subscribers will definitely want to prioritize playing these before December 17 if any of these titles catch their interest.
Personally, I would prioritize Dead Island, especially if one needs a co-op game to play. I would also make sure to play through Tinykin while it’s still available through PS Plus Extra. For those who may be unfamiliar with the game, Tinykin is a 3D platformer that takes inspiration from the Pikmin series. I had a great deal of fun with it, and I especially recommend it to fans of sixth generation platformers.
