Grand Theft Auto V leaves PS Plus Extra on 17 November
Grand Theft Auto V is reportedly leaving PS Plus Extra on 17 November, two days before Grand Theft Auto 6 launches.
Grand Theft Auto V will leave the PS Plus Extra catalogue on 17 November 2026, according to Push Square 1. That gives subscribers two days to finish another run through Los Santos before Grand Theft Auto 6 launches on 19 November.
The removal is reportedly being shown through a system notification to PS5 owners, which presents playing Grand Theft Auto V or pre-ordering the next game as its two suggested options 1. Sony has not been cited as announcing a permanent removal: Rockstar's recent games have repeatedly rotated in and out of PS Plus Extra for limited periods.
What this means for PS Plus members
If you have been waiting to revisit Grand Theft Auto V through the subscription, the 17 November date is the practical deadline. The game may return in a future catalogue refresh, but that is not confirmed, so members should not treat a later comeback as guaranteed.
The timing makes the removal more notable than a routine catalogue change. Grand Theft Auto V is leaving just before Grand Theft Auto 6 arrives, putting the older game's current subscription window directly alongside Rockstar's next major release.
Our opinion
A last-minute catalogue exit is inconvenient, but the timing is easy to understand: Rockstar can use the arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6 to reset attention around the series. For subscribers, the useful takeaway is simple — play Grand Theft Auto V before 17 November if you want to revisit it without buying it separately.
