Removing any game from the PS Plus Extra or Premium game library means that subscribers to the service will not be able to install or even play it again, no matter what. This angered many subscribers to the service after they were surprised by the removal of one of the major games without receiving any warning from Sony.
Sony usually adds games that are about to leave the Extra and Premium bundles library to what is known as the “Last Chance to Play” list, which includes games that leave within a month of their appearance on this list. However, The Evil Within, inexplicably, did not appear on this list at all, despite being surprisingly removed today.
One user realized this when he visited the game's page on the PlayStation Store, where he found out that the game would be leaving the PS Plus Extra games library in the early hours of Friday morning. While this user tried to alert other players via the gaming forums, it was too late.
The Evil Within game is no longer available on the service, but the biggest shock was for players who downloaded it recently and are still playing the game, as unfortunately after it was removed yesterday, Friday, they were unable to play it anymore except by repurchasing it through the same store.
By observing the reactions of a number of users, it seems that their confidence in the service has been shaken. PS Plus After this unjustified position. Some even accused Sony and PlayStation of not practicing transparency with subscribers who are obliged to pay large sums to continue the service.
For our part, we think that the matter is shocking and unjustified, but perhaps the removal of the game is just a technical error and Sony may reverse it in the coming hours. Perhaps the matter is related to the expired licenses of the game and once this problem is resolved, it may return to the library again. This is just a guess, nothing more.
In any case, we will follow the developments of this matter over the next few hours and will update this report if anything new occurs. Until then, keep your eyes on the VGA4A website.
