Once again, the PlayStation Plus reserves a very unpleasant surprise for the players. And clearly, it does not pass for some: no one has been warned. Explanations.
Subscribers to PlayStation Plus Extra have had a funny surprise in recent days. By launching their console, some have noticed that a much appreciated game had simply disappeared from the catalog. No alert message. No notification. Nothing. The title in question, greeted for his original universe and his nervous gameplay, is no longer downloadable … when he was still available recently.
A discreet withdrawal that goes wrong on the PlayStation more
It is therefore a unpleasant surprise for subscribers to the more extra PlayStation. F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torcha much appreciated action game, has been removed from the catalog … without any warning. Neither alert nor insert “last chance to play”, nothing. The title simply disappeared. And inevitably, it makes teeth cringe.
Available since December 2024 in the Extra catalog, Fist had everything of the right plan. An original steampunk universe, dynamic fights and neat level design. The kind of game that we sometimes discover by chance thanks to PlayStation Plus … and that we would have liked to keep longer.
But here it is: for a few days, it is no longer possible to download it. Worse, it is no longer even among the games listed in the offer. No more trace, no more extra tag PlayStation on its PlayStation Store sheet. A total disappearance.
Technical problem or early withdrawal?
This is not the first time that a game has left the service without warning. Sony does not always communicate upstream, and some titles are temporarily removed due to bugs or display problems. It is therefore possible that Fist will return in the days or weeks to come.
But some players are concerned about a final withdrawal. Usually, PlayStation Plus games remain available for a year. Now here, Fist only stayed seven months. If it is a limited contract with the publisher Bilibili, Sony could have warned. This lack of transparency begins to become a real subject.
Fortunately, subscribers who had already downloaded the game can still access it. Nothing is blocked on that side. On the other hand, newcomers or latecomers can no longer recover it. A blow for those who had put the game in their “Trying one day” list.
