Seven games are currently slated to leave the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in May 2026, with Control Ultimate Edition standing out as the biggest title in the group.
TL;DR
Sony’s PlayStation Store “Last Chance to Play” section has revealed seven games set to leave the PS Plus Game Catalog on May 19, 2026, including Control Ultimate Edition, Sand Land, and Soul Hackers 2. Depending on how editions are counted, the raw list can appear as eight entries.

Games Leaving PS Plus in May 2026
Insider Gaming reported the update after Sony’s PlayStation Store refreshed its “Last Chance to Play” section, and PlayStation LifeStyle said the list first appeared in the Japanese and Asian store updates before broader regional rollouts.
According to those reports, the games expected to leave on May 19, 2026 are:
- Control Ultimate Edition
- Sand Land
- Soul Hackers 2
- MotoGP 25
- Mortal Shell
- Mortal Shell Enhanced Edition
- The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope
- The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan
Although Insider Gaming framed the update as seven departing titles, Mortal Shell and Mortal Shell Enhanced Edition are effectively counted together in some coverage, which is why the raw list can appear as eight entries depending on how editions are separated. PlayStation LifeStyle also noted that Man of Medan may be limited to select regions, including Japan.
How the List Surfaced
Sony has not published a standalone PlayStation Blog post dedicated to these removals so far. Instead, the outgoing titles were identified through the PlayStation Store’s “Last Chance to Play” section, which typically previews games scheduled to leave the Extra and Premium catalogs in the next refresh cycle. PlayStation LifeStyle cautioned that the list is not always final, noting Sony can sometimes add more titles later or remove games without much warning.
That timing lines up with Sony’s latest official Game Catalog update. In its April 15 PlayStation Blog post, the company confirmed that the newest Game Catalog lineup becomes available on April 21, while also reiterating that catalog availability can vary by region.
The Biggest Losses for Subscribers
Control Ultimate Edition is likely to draw the most attention. Remedy’s supernatural action game remains one of the more recognizable titles in the catalog, and its departure would remove both the base experience and its expansion content from the subscription lineup. Sand Land is another notable exit, especially because it carries extra visibility as an adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s manga. Soul Hackers 2 also gives the list a solid RPG presence.
The two Dark Pictures Anthology entries and both Mortal Shell versions round out a smaller but varied batch of departures, spanning horror, soulslike action, and racing through MotoGP 25.
What PS Plus Members Should Know
Unless Sony changes the lineup before the next catalog refresh, subscribers have until May 19, 2026 to play these titles through PS Plus Extra or Premium. As usual with Game Catalog removals, access ends once a game leaves the service unless players buy it separately. Based on the current reporting, regional differences remain possible until all PlayStation Store versions reflect the same update.
