Grand Theft Auto V is leaving PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on November 17, 2026 — two days before GTA VI launches on November 19. Sony has begun notifying PS5 owners directly via in-app alerts, confirming the removal and offering a pre-order link for GTA VI alongside the notice. The game has been available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium since at least 2023, though Kotaku does not specify the original addition date. It remains accessible to subscribers until midnight local time on November 17. After that, it vanishes from both tiers globally. No replacement title has been announced. GTA V will still be sold separately on the PlayStation Store, as it always has. And remains playable for anyone who owns it outright or through previous PlayStation Plus access. Rockstar’s next mainline entry arrives just 48 hours later. That timing isn’t accidental. It’s a hard pivot: clear the shelf, prime the pump. For subscribers who haven’t played it yet, and aren’t among the estimated 230 million people who already own it. This is the final window. The game leaves PlayStation Plus, but not PlayStation. Not yet.
