New information reveals when Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition is scheduled to leave PS Plus Extra and Premium.

A date has been revealed for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition departure from PS Plus Extra and Premium. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members get a bunch of games every month at no extra cost. The Premium tier includes a catalogue of games available to Extra subscribers and other bonuses such as the ability to download PS1, PS2 and PSP games.

You can usually see when a game leaves PS Plus on the PlayStation Store page. In most cases, this news is revealed closer to the date rather than when the game joins the service. However, the date of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’s departure from PS Plus could have been announced months earlier.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition will leave PS Plus Extra and Premium on 20 February 2023, as far as we know.

This information came from the Japanese PlayStation Blog and was later posted on Reddit. However, it does not appear to be mentioned anywhere else, so players must wait for a confirmed date. Assuming the date is valid, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be part of PS Plus Extra and Premium for four months, which is more than enough time to play through.

On the Japanese PlayStation Blog page, no specific expiry date is mentioned for the other games coming to PS Plus this month. They may be part of PS Plus for years to come, or they simply haven’t finalised their release date. Regardless, some fans say it would be convenient for subscribers to have an official post letting them know exactly when a game will be leaving the service.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is one of 23 games coming to PS Plus Extra and Premium this month.

Other titles on the list include Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Inside, The Medium and many more. Premium users can also play Ultra Street Fighter 4, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and remasters of three Yakuza games as part of their subscription level.
