What's Leaving PlayStation: July & August 2026

Last updated: July 2026

Not every disappearance from PSN is a full delisting. Most months it's quieter than that, in-game purchases shutting off, online services winding down, points expiring, none of it loud enough to notice until it's already happened. This is the first of what'll be a running monthly check.

The deadlines that actually matter this cycle

Jul 20

New World: Aeternum

In-game purchases end (online services continue until Jan 31, 2027)

Jul 30

LET IT DIE

In-game purchases end (online services until Aug 31)

Jul 31

PS Stars points

Unredeemed points expire platform-wide

Aug 13

Tearaway Unfolded

Online services end

Aug 20

NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 / WWE 2K Battlegrounds

Online services end

Aug 31

NHL 22 / NHL 23

Online services end

Nothing on this list is a full-scale delisting, the games themselves stay purchasable and playable in single-player. What's ending is online multiplayer, live events, and in some cases the ability to spend real money in-game at all.

The one deadline with no game attached

PS Stars, Sony's loyalty points scheme, has its redeemable points expiring on July 31 across the board. If you've been quietly accumulating points from trophies and challenges, this is the one to actually check before the month ends, there's no game page reminding you.

Why this list exists now

Every one of these is small on its own. Taken together, alongside Sony's July announcement ending physical disc production from 2028, it's part of the same pattern, what you have access to on PlayStation depends more and more on decisions made after you've already paid. Worth a five-minute check each month, which is exactly why this is going to become a recurring series here rather than a one-off.
