Sony Plans to Phase Out PS4 Games from PlayStation Plus in January 2026

Sony has announced that starting January 2026, PlayStation Plus will phase out PS4 games as a primary offering, focusing instead on PS5 titles in response to the growing player base for the newer console. While PS4 games will still be available occasionally and existing redeemed titles will remain accessible as long as subscriptions are active, the shift marks a significant change in the service's direction. The decision reflects the PlayStation ecosystem's evolution, with the majority of users now accessing content on PS5. Upcoming games for February include both PS4 and PS5 titles, but this trend is expected to diminish over time. Sony reassures subscribers that benefits such as exclusive discounts and cloud storage will continue. This transition underscores the company's aim to encourage players to migrate fully to the PS5 platform.
