PlayStation Plus’ Additional and Premium tiers—which embody free video games you may play as a part of your membership—are dropping over two dozen titles in Might, together with eight totally different Remaining Fantasy video games. If you wish to beat all of them earlier than they go away, you’d higher hurry!
It’s enjoyable when widespread online game subscription providers like Xbox’s Sport Move and PlayStation’s Plus Library add new video games so that you can play at no extra value. Nonetheless, these providers additionally rotate video games out every so often for numerous causes—contracts expire, offers finish, and many others—and when that occurs it’s so much much less enjoyable. And Sony’s current announcement that 25 video games are being faraway from PlayStation Plus’ Additional and Premium tiers is likely one of the greatest exoduses I’ve seen in current reminiscence.
As reported by PushSquare on April 16, Sony has quietly up to date the “Final Likelihood to Play” part of PlayStation Plus and revealed that on Might 21, a complete of 25 video games shall be faraway from PS Plus Additional and Premium. And 7 of these titles are Remaining Fantasy video games. Right here’s the complete listing of stuff leaving Plus subsequent month:
- Remaining Fantasy IX (PS4)
- Remaining Fantasy VII (PS4)
- Remaining Fantasy VIII Remastered (PS4)
- Remaining Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (PS4)
- Remaining Fantasy XV: Royal Version (PS4)

Technically, solely seven Remaining Fantasy titles are being eliminated, however one of many games--FFX|X-2 HD—contains two video games, so I’m counting it as eight. That’s a big chunk of Remaining Fantasy historical past being faraway from the PS Plus library. The query is: Do you’ve got sufficient time between right this moment and Might 21 to complete all of those RPGs?
How lengthy it could take to play all of those Remaining Fantasy video games
Utilizing How Lengthy To Beat (which isn’t excellent, however ok), I added up the completion occasions for the entire Remaining Fantasy video games leaving PS Plus. I centered on what number of hours it could take to finish the primary story, not do every little thing. The quantity I ended up with was proper round 430 hours, which appears truthful. That equals out to 18 days and 17 hours. Contemplating that you simply’ll must sleep, eat, and work, we have to break that up. Let’s say you get house round 5ish, eat a fast dinner and wash up by 6ish, and begin taking part in a Remaining Fantasy recreation immediately. You may play till about 2 AM, any later than that may have an effect on your job. So about eight hours of recreation time. We are able to bump that as much as 15 hours on a Saturday or Sunday…assuming you don’t do a lot else throughout that point.
Including up the numbers, we find yourself with about 40 hours of recreation time throughout the week and 30 hours on the weekend. I’m going to imagine your rest room breaks are quick and never spherical down. That brings us to 70 hours every week of recreation time. In case you are devoted and actually put within the work, it’s going to take you about six weeks to beat each FF recreation leaving PS Plus.
Sadly, Might 21 is barely 5 weeks away, so that you’ll must double down on some weekends and doubtless skip just a few dates or occasions to drag this off. In the event you do, e-mail Kotaku, please. We’d love to listen to about this complete ordeal. But additionally, don’t try this. Come on. It’s not value it.
