Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and 8 Other Games Leaving PlayStation Plus This August 2023

/

The next batch of PlayStation Plus titles leaving the service next month has been revealed as Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and seven other games will be leaving the Games and Classics catalog on August 15, 2023.

Here are the titles leaving the service.

Games Leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe on August 15

  • 8-Bit Armies

  • Borderlands 3

  • Carmageddon: Max Damage

  • The Crew 2

  • DCL - The Game

  • GRIP

  • Nidhogg

  • Yakuza 0

  • Yakuza Kiwami

  • Yakuza Kiwami 2

In PlayStation Plus, players can head to the ‘last chance to play’ section of the service showing what games are leaving soon. For my region, which is Hong Kong, seven games were displayed as the other three mentioned above were not available in my area to begin with. For those in the US and EU, you should see the full ten games listed above.

The most notable titles leaving the service is the first three Yakuza games Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2, effectively making the complete Yakuza series incomplete in the service. After August 15, fans of the series will only have access to Yakuza 3 Remastered, Yakuza 4 Remastered, Yakuza 5, Yakuza 6, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

It may be sad that ten games are leaving the service but Sony did update PlayStation Plus with over 10 more games, notably, It Takes Two, Sniper Elite 5, World War Z Aftermath, Dynasty Warriors 9, and more.

Even in its current state, Path of Exile 2 overshadows much of the available ARPGs in the market today both in terms of quality and replayability. It sets a precedent, proving that the ARPG genre can still be improved. Grinding Gear Games are the tip of the spear that’s taking the ARPG genre into a new age of gaming.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.
