Online games are great, but sometimes you just can't be bothered with the whole human interaction thing. Thankfully there are loads of great single-player only games available on PS4. Here are 30 of the best.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has added a few more titles to the list of games that will be leaving PS Plus in May, 2024.
curious... if a game leaves PS+, does it make it unplayable if you have already claimed it before it leaves? I know on the XB side, games leaving Gamepass are no longer playable. You need to pay for them to be able to continue playing after you installed them from GP.
The 3 monthly “free” games you keep as long as you have PS+ subscription. The PS+ library is like Netflix. They rotate stuff out and replace them with other titles.
Yes, PS+ Extra/Premium games are unplayable after the leave the service, just like GamePass and Netflix.
PS+ Essentials games are available as long as you have an active PS+ account.
Monthly games, special promos like the free games during COVID or PS plus bundle on ps5 are forever yours. Premium and above are time limited
If you claim a game on the premium tier (not yours to keep) and it comes out as a monthly games later e.g. fallout 76 it appears you do not retain ownership on that one.
The 3-4 monthly games that are free that are part of every service are yours forever I canceled my service over a year and you never lose access. I dont know what these other comments are talking about maybe they are in a different country but in the USA I could play any game I claimed of the free monthly games
Then one of the accounts on your PS5 probably has a PS+ Essential subscription.
Because the 3-4 PS+ games you get every month, is not available to be played if you don't have an active sunscription.
It's the same in US, Europe, Japan and everywhere else.
Essential stays in your library
Extra and premium become locked when titles leave the service.
It's actually one of my gripes with Extra, you can't remove the title from your own library, so basically it countss as one your title but it's locked so you own library become a cluster F... unless you filter your titles.
Wonder if Horizon ZD leaving gives credit to those remake rumours
Sigh. If true…another remake that’s not Bloodborne.
I still remember them giving that one away for free, regardless of if you were subscribed to Plus or not
They did. It was during the pandemic and the "play at home" initiative.
Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Sony gave away a lot of games just to push gamers to stay home and not get infected by COVID.
I think you're right.
There is a separate Bloodborne rumor by the remake is allegedly scheduled for next gen.
Yes cause of the remake good thing I got the plat
And is bloodborn really that good? I never played it due to being Incarcerated 8½ years but I read the comics. It's pretty dark
Highly likely I also bet the remaster will be over priced and under whelming.
I'd also bet most people will simply stick with the PS4 pro and ps5 60fps patch over paying to upgrade when it offers the bare minimum.
I hope Sony has learnt from the last of us 2 and stop remastering games that just came out they have nearly 30 years of content to work with but always remaster games that are like 5 years old and don't need it. I assume this was In development alongside tlou2 so fingers crossed this is the last time we get this because what's next god of war on PS4 to ps5 for 70 dollars probably anything outside of bloodborne
ahh the messenger is such a good game.
u should play sea of starts. same people, its a sort of prequel to the messenger tok
Can N4G adopt a policy of games leaving subscription services as not being a new story, it is just spam at this point.
Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return?
When was the last time that Sony added a PlayStation studio game?
Now I don't expect Sony to have day 1 like Gamepass but I would expect to at least care to make the offering interesting especially when they raised the price by 30% last year.
PS Studio Games:
May - Destiny 2: Lightfall
April - MediEvil, Jak&Daxter: The Lost Frontier,
March - CoolBoarders
What Playstation Studio games is it you're missing?
Sight...
let me check my comment again
" Is it me or have there been a lot of great games leaving the extra tier but barely anything in terms of wow factor joining the service in return? "
Yeah pretty sure I mentioned the EXTRA tier and not the PREMIUM tier
but glad that you consider a DLC to a free-to-play game a great offering
I repeat my question, what PS Studio games is it you're missing?
And regarding the first part of your comment, lots of great games leaving and nothing added?
What great games iyo has left the service?
For me, "wow-factor games added would be".
Dave the Diver, Tales of Kenzera, Raji, Miasma, The Outer Worlds, Resident Evil 3, Ace Attorney, Rainbow Six Siege, AC: Valhalla, Far Cry 6, Watch Dogs Legion, Both Southpark jrpgs, Fenyx Rising, Tales of Arise, Session, Lego Worlds, Vampire the Masquerade Swansong, Legends of Mana....
And many more.
Compared to what has been removed, the adds are better than the 'offs'.

Got an Xbox and a Game Pass subscription and want something spooky to play? Here are the best horror games on Xbox Game Pass.
The MAIN reason I game primarily on PS4 is because of the abundance of single player narrative driven games!
Finishing Lost Legacy as we speak and I'm blown away by the depth and scope of it! I know it's Naughty Dog but I wasn't expecting it to be this much scale! For something that started as DLC it has more meat than most $60. AAA titles!
Just finished Uncharted The Lost Legacy and Assassin’s Creed Origins. Now I’m currently playing through Nier: Automata.
I’d say over 95% of the games I buy are single player games and I rarely ever touch a multiplayer mode, unless there’s an easy trophy attached which I need for the Platinum.
Top5
1. TLOU
2. Uncharted 4
3. Persona 5
4. Gravity rush 2
5. Metal gear solid V
Can't go wrong with Horizon, Wolfenstein, Prey, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Persona, Life is Strange, Dishonored, 2064: Read-Only Memories, BioShock, Hellblade, Soma, Doom, Bloodborne and so on.
You want to know the main reason why I'm angry at EA right now? It's not the MTs in games that also cost full retail price, although that is horrendous. It's that they couldn't just opt to focus on multiplayer games and release a statement saying that's what they want to focus on because they think that's best for their bottom line. They had to take the slimy, underhanded route and spread a rumour that singleplayer, narrative-driven games are dying off, just so they could try to undercut the success of such titles. They even likely paid Amy Hennig to release a statement to that effect. It's like they were thinking if their singleplayer games aren't selling as well as they'd hoped, they don't want other devs and publishers to do well with their singleplayer titles. That's one of the lowest stunts I've witnessed a game company pulling, ever, and I've been gaming for 25 years.
Anyways, lists like this prove that singleplayer titles are not only still around, but are thriving. This list doesn't include all singleplayer titles on the PS4 by the way. Not by a long shot. It's just this site's top 30 favourites. That they could make a top 30 shows singleplayer games are in abundance. There are also plenty of titles not on the PS4 that are singleplayer too. The PS4 just happens to be a system such titles thrive on. It's fine if a studio wishes to focus their efforts on multiplayer titles, but to say there is no market for a type of game just because one company hasn't had much success with it is blatantly false.
