  • Despite some titles leaving, PS Plus subscribers can anticipate fresh additions like Ghostrunner 2 and Tunic to the extensive game collection.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is poised to exit the PlayStation Plus Extra tier catalog by May 2024. The revamped version of Big Huge Games' classic action RPG is among the 25 titles lined up for removal from the PlayStation Plus library in the upcoming weeks.

The PlayStation Plus catalog revealed the departure of several cherished games from both the Extra and Essential collections, including classic JRPG titles. Earlier indications also highlighted the exit of Guerrilla Games' once PlayStation-exclusive title Horizon Zero Dawn from the PS Plus lineup by May 21, catching many fans off guard due to its acclaimed status and Sony's support. Unfortunately, another beloved game is now set to bid adieu to the PS Plus catalog.

Observant users spotted a message on the PlayStation store page for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning announcing the game's departure from PlayStation Plus Premium. A Reddit user shared a snapshot of the store page on the PlayStation Plus subreddit, confirming the game's removal by May 21. However, fans noted the absence of Kingdoms of Amalur from the Leaving Soon page for PlayStation Plus, adding to the confusion and speculation surrounding this unexpected move.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Exiting PlayStation Plus Extra

While many fans lament the absence of Kingdoms of Amalur from the May 2024 PS Plus catalog, others question its exclusion from the list of 25 departing games. Some are frustrated by the lack of official communication from the PS Plus page, urging Sony to enhance subscriber awareness of upcoming changes.

Despite the imminent exit of over two dozen titles from PlayStation Plus in a brief period, there is a silver lining for subscribers. The introduction of new titles like Ghostrunner 2 and Tunic to the PS Plus collection will help offset the losses. With a library boasting more than 400 titles, PlayStation Plus members still have a plethora of options to choose from for their next gaming adventure.
