If you're a **PlayStation Plus** subscriber, brace yourself — one of the biggest games is departing the service next month.

On June 18, 2024, **_Grand Theft Auto V_** will be removed from the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers, leaving a massive void in the popular subscription service.

_GTA 5 **s longevity and continued popularity over a decade after its 2013 release is simply staggering. While [Rockstar has yet to expand the base game's story content](/gta-v-actor-reveals-details-of-canceled-agent-trevordlc-33ba),_GTA V**s outstanding level of detail, immersive world, sharp writing, and dynamic sandbox gameplay has kept players hooked year after year.

Even in 2024, _GTA 5_ [continues topping sales charts](/gta-5-cements-its-legacy-with-200-million-copies-sold-67f7) against new releases with alarming regularity. How many other 11-year-old games can make that claim? The answer — practically none. _GTA V_ is an unstoppable force, with fans constantly discovering new secrets and experiences within its incredibly dense world.

On PlayStation Plus, _GTA 5_ has allowed millions of gamers to experience Rockstar's critically-acclaimed masterpiece at no additional cost beyond their subscription. Losing access to such a gaming behemoth is a harsh blow.

The sprawling single-player campaign following the intersecting stories of [Michael, Franklin, and Trevor](/gta-5-characters-a-trio-of-crime-a20c) takes dozens of hours to complete. And for those hooked on _GTA Online_'s ever-evolving shared world, the loss stings even more.

While [PS Plus subscribers had their window](/gta-5-is-coming-to-playstation-plus-on-december-19-16a3) to play _GTA V_, its departure means the PS Plus tiers will likely take a hit. This is a transformative, generation-defining game that belongs in every gamer's library. Its removal from the service is a major loss and a reminder to play the games you want while you can (that is, if you depend on subscription services).
