Red Dead Redemption Is Leaving PS Plus Just As RDR2 Arrives
Sony’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog is doing that very annoying subscription-service thing again: giving with one hand, taking with the other.
After adding several new titles this month — including Star Wars Outlaws, Red Dead Redemption 2, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, and more — Sony has also updated the PlayStation Store’s Last Chance to Play section with games that are set to disappear in June 2026.
For Malaysian and SEA players on the higher PS Plus tiers, this matters because once a Game Catalog title leaves, you don’t keep access to it unless you buy it separately. So if you’ve been treating your backlog like a “later lah” problem, this is the reminder to actually check what’s leaving before it vanishes.
Leaving PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on June 16
According to the PlayStation Store’s Last Chance to Play section, these titles are set to leave the Game Catalog on June 16, 2026:
- Red Dead Redemption
- Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition (PS4)
The big one here is obviously Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar’s 2010 open-world Western starring John Marston. It is still one of Rockstar’s most respected games, with a 95 Metacritic score, and it won Game of the Year at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards — basically the predecessor to today’s The Game Awards.
The timing is quite funny, because Red Dead Redemption 2 has just joined the PS Plus Game Catalog. So if you’re new to the series, Sony is now giving you access to the massive prequel while the original game is about to ride off into the sunset. Classic subscription chaos.
If you care about playing the story in release order, you’ll want to prioritise the first Red Dead Redemption before June 16. If you’re more about timeline order, then RDR2 being available is still a pretty solid win, but losing the original means the full John Marston arc becomes less convenient for subscribers.
What this means for Malaysian PS Plus users
In Malaysia, PlayStation Plus users usually deal with Essential, Extra, and Deluxe tiers rather than the exact same Premium setup seen in some other regions. The key thing is simple: the Game Catalog is tied to the higher tiers. Essential monthly games are different; Game Catalog titles rotate in and out.
That makes this kind of update worth watching, especially with AAA games. Buying Rockstar titles separately can still cost a decent chunk depending on sale timing, and not everyone wants to drop extra RM just because they forgot a removal date.
For Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition, this is more of a niche but still painful exit. It’s a stylish beat-’em-up with strong retro energy, and the Complete Edition is the version people usually want because it bundles the expanded package. If you enjoy couch co-op or old-school arcade-style games, this is the one to squeeze in with friends before it leaves.
Bottom line: if either game has been sitting untouched in your library, don’t wait until mid-June. Download early, make sure you actually have time to play, and finish what you can before the Game Catalog rotates again.
