The all-new PlayStation Plus levels begin rolling out in some regions in late May. When they do, Playstation now will cease to exist and the service will be offered in a slightly different form as part of PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium. It seems that Sony is starting to prepare for the change, as 56 games have currently been listed as leaving PS Now during May 2022, and more are expected to be added to the list.
Which games are leaving Playstation Now?
So far, 56 games are expected to leave PS Now during May 2022, most of which have been released by SEGA, THQ Nordic or Konami.

Playstation Now currently includes more than 400 PS3 games and around 20 PS2 games, yet the new Playstation Plus Premium level will only include “up to 340” PS3, PS2, PlayStation and PSP games. To make room for the games from Playstation and PSP consoles, this means that at least 80 PS3 games will leave the service. As soon as we hear more, we will make sure to let you know.
