Grand Theft Auto V is leaving the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on November 17, 2026 — two days before GTA 6 launches for PS5 on November 19. Sony has confirmed the removal in an in-app message sent to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, urging them to ‘take a trip to Los Santos’ while they still can.
The message was first spotted by Reddit user Otherwise_Ninja_9699 and reported by Notebookcheck. GTA 5 has been a mainstay of the catalog for years, but its exit follows Sony’s standard monthly rotation: new titles arrive, older ones depart. It won’t be replaced by GTA 6, the sequel isn’t part of PlayStation Plus at launch and must be bought separately.
If you’re subscribed and want to keep playing GTA 5 after November 17, you’ll need to buy it outright. No price or bundle details were shared in the notice. The timing is tight. Just 48 hours between removal and release, and shows how tightly Sony is aligning its service cadence with Rockstar’s blockbuster drop.
