Subscription services are one of the major ways for players to experience some of the renowned titles without spending lots of money purchasing them. Almost all the subscription services work similarly where players can spend a little amount to purchase the subscription and enjoy renowned titles without any worries. However, there’s a different side of it as well, where big developer companies refuse to launch their games on subscription services, but what PlayStation Plus is about to experience is the worst. 

Recently, Sony has updated their PlayStation Plus’s Last Chance To Play page, and it seems a lot of games are going to leave the PS Plus service, including a massively popular franchise. Expectedly, players are again dissatisfied with this leaving.

However, the latest news reveals that unfortunately, PS Plus is bidding goodbye to 25 titles and a few Final Fantasy titles are on the list, including, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII Remastered, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, etc.

This news seemed to be a great shock for Final Fantasy fans, and they started doubting whether the news was true. Well, unfortunately, the news is directly taken from official PlayStation announcements and PlayStation Stores. Therefore, there’s not even the slightest chance of it being fake. So, on May 21 six titles of the series will leave the PS Plus.
