PlayStation Plus remains a really solid option for those who mainly play on the console right now, regardless of Sony's recent alienating decision-making in the eyes of the public. The subscription service hosts hundreds of games across all genres, and it's a nice option if you're looking for something to play but don't necessarily want to spend any more of your hard-earned money.

The subscription service has therefore become a staple part of the diet for most PlayStation players, with the only real drawback being that each month sees some games leave, as well as some being added. Now, we know what's going on in November with the former, and it has unfortunately turned out to be quite a bumper month for removals.

Rockstar Games

As first reported by Notebook Check, Sony has confirmed that twelve games will be leaving PlayStation Plus in November, which is very much on the high end for any given month. Those include some major AAA titles, though the reasoning behind those has been expected now for some time. The full list of games being withdrawn from PS Plus on November 17 is as follows:

• Red Dead Redemption II
• Grand Theft Auto V
• Football Manager 26 Console
• Thank Goodness You're Here!
• The Talos Principle 2
• Cricket 24
• Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
• Hotshot Racing
• Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break
• Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair
• Rapala Fishing: Pro Series
• Yet Another Zombie Defense HD

The headline acts this time around are obviously the two big Rockstar efforts in GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. RDR2 is one that longtime subscribers will know regularly comes in and out, while Grand Theft Auto's removal is happening to make way for the arrival of the sequel. Though many will have made the jump across anyway, Rockstar will be hoping less access to the previous game will motivate tentative players to make the leap sooner.

Football Manager 26 is the biggest title on the list otherwise, and it's much the same story there. The game has been on the service for a year, meaning the contract is likely up, but the sequel is also releasing in November, and Sports Interactive will be wanting people to transition to the newest version.

The last really standout miss from that list is The Talos Principle 2, a first-person puzzle experience and direct sequel to the first game, which is seemingly appreciated by everyone who plays it. Its reviews are pretty stunning across the board, so if you are trying to pick a game from the list to play before it disappears, that may well be the one to go with.

Rockstar Games

We haven't yet heard from Sony about which games they plan to add to the PlayStation Plus service this month, though we can expect news on the Essential roster today (October 28). The Extra/Premium tier will be revealed not long after that, though they will have to make some good choices for it to be considered a healthy month for subscribers.
