If you can't find anything of interest on there you might switch to PC game pass, or just find something on steam instead.

Supposedly a lot of the loss came from PS4 owners feeling like they aren't getting as much value out of the service. Personally I felt the "you don't actually own anything" reality of this business model last month when a game that I was playing regularly was dropped out of the blue (to me anyway) and I just ended up buying it. That felt dumb but oh well.
The same thing happened to me and I was disgruntled about it.

Part of the reason I paid for the extra benefits for a few months was because I wanted to play NBA 2K22 and I saw Red Dead Redemption (PS3) was available. 2K was more expensive than the cost of upgrading my membership so I chose that route. Shortly after they pulled Red Dead Redemption.

I then got invested in a Bulls MyGM and then one day I got on to play and couldn't load the game up. I was blindsided by it and frustrated. I waited about 2 weeks before finally just buying the disk version at a store because it was $20 compared to being full in the PS Store even though it was close to 2K23 release time.

I don't play games fast so now if I see something I'm afraid to even start it because it may be taken down before I can finish it. Having too many options is bad for my brain the same way it takes me forever to choose something to watch on an app like Netflix. I'll spend more time looking than I do playing. Having all of these extra games to try doesn't mean much when most of them are several years older anyways.. it's just not a very good service or worth the extra money.

Not sure if I missed any news about it since, but at one point it used to tell you when a game was leaving, but that was removed.

Re: PlayStation 5

5 more ratchet and clank games are being added to streaming or something and some new armor being added to rift apart. I am replaying rift apart for it's 20 year anniversary started last night so the new armor is nice but bummer about just having games to stream was hoping for some kind of ratchet collection like we got with the HD collection back in 2012 for the 10 year anniversary.
