PlayStation Plus has added some exciting new games this month, but it's unfortunately losing a few great ones on January 20. Along with the rotating selection of monthly titles, the semi-permanent Extra and Premium catalog also sees a slower rate of turnover. The games about to depart have all been part of the Extra and Premium catalog for a year or more, making their departure especially tragic.
On January 20, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, Monopoly Plus, Sayonara Wild Hearts, and SD Gundam Battle Alliance will all leave PlayStation Plus, as originally covered by PSPlusUpdates on Reddit. All four games are currently available with either an Extra or Premium subscription, and Like a Dragon Gaiden, Sayonara Wild Hearts, and SD Gundam Battle Alliance all offer Platinum trophies for completionists.
Each of the games leaving PS Plus offers a radically different experience, and most subscribers could probably have fun with at least one of them. Like a Dragon Gaiden is a compelling coda to the original Kiryu saga of the Yakuza series, which has established a fantastic name for itself as a standard-bearer for crime games.
Monopoly Plus is, well, Monopoly with some tweaks....
