Games leaving PS Plus Extra on August 18
Unfortunately, it’s not all good news, because there are multiple titles leaving PlayStation Plus on the morning of August 18.
This means that you only have a few hours left to finish up any campaigns, or be willing to make a purchase in order to keep playing.
The highest-profile game to leave PS Plus Extra in August is Dead Island 2, which brings the zombie apocalypse to Los Angeles. The game is currently available for as low as £14.79 as part of the Dead Island Series Bundle.
Other games leaving PS Plus Extra include Bomber Crew, Clash: Artefacts of Chaos, Earth Defence Force 6, Harold Halibut, Space Crew: Legendary Edition and Unicorn Overlord.
Harold Halibut is something of a hidden gem and well worth playing if you still have time.
