Nearly 60 games are set to leave the PlayStation Now service next month, before it becomes part of Sony's revamped PlayStation Plus scheme.

PS Now, which is a subscription service that gives players access to a variety of PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, will be closing down in the summer and replaced with the new tiered PS Plus system, which incorporates the features of PS Now in its higher tiers.

However, Reddit user Cobra_Bite has noted that a number of games currently available on PlayStation Now either currently show expiry dates in May, or are sporadically showing them on and off.

This implies that, unless they're renewed, at least 56 games currently on PS Now will not be available on the revamped PS Plus.

The full list can be found on Reddit, but notable titles include a large number of Sega games, as well as some Metal Gear Solid titles.

Should these games not be present on the new PS Plus scheme, Sonic fans may be the most affected. There are a total of 11 Sonic games on the list, including every major series release since 2008's Sonic Unleashed.

A lot of the sega stuff there isn't necessarily Sony-specific - it's Sega removing the old ways to play the sonic games before they bring on the new shite version with microtransactions.

So I am guessing some people have never used a content subscription service before. This is how they work. Its (for the most part) rotating content. Which is why so many of us do not care for that paradigm. Its "more" content in a very narrow sense.

Is that the original Destroy All Humans or the remake? If its the remake then that + Renegade Ops being gone is a bummer but everything else is a bit "eh okay".

Also, I know its a spelling mistake but I would pay cash money to see a Japanese person try to pronounce "Casrlevania", its hard enough for native english speakers.

So when's the announcement that MS is taking over SEGA?
