PlayStation Plus Loses 10 Games on Sept. 15 as 2 Premium Toy Story Titles Exit

Q: Are trophy hunters running out of time forever to secure achievements for these departing PlayStation hits?

No — trophy hunters are running out of time on PS Plus access, not necessarily forever. The key deadline is mid-September 2026, when the departing games are expected to leave PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium around September 15. After that, subscribers who do not own the games will lose access through the service, so anyone chasing trophies in Persona 5 Tactica, the Shadowrun trilogy, Madden NFL 26, or the Toy Story titles should act quickly. That said, trophies themselves are not disappearing just because a game leaves PS Plus. In most cases, if a player buys the game separately after it exits the catalog, they can keep earning its trophies as long as the game remains purchasable and its servers or required online features stay active. The bigger concern is with the Toy Story games. Their exit is unusual because Premium classics rarely leave, and Disney’s October 2026 re-release plans suggest the current PS Store versions could become harder to access. Reports indicate the PS Plus version of Toy Story 3 is the PSP edition, which differs from the upcoming remaster, while the current Toy Story 2 PS Store release has its own trophy set. If those versions are delisted, hunters who do not buy them in time may lose the easiest path to those specific trophy lists. So the real risk is not that achievements vanish forever on September 15, but that access to certain versions — especially Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 — may become limited after they leave PS Plus.

Sept. 15 is the removal date for an initial 10-game wave leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium, according to updated Japanese and Asian PlayStation Store listings.
Persona 5 Tactica leads the departures alongside Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun Hong Kong, Shadowrun Dragonfall, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII, Toukiden 2, Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back and EA Sports Madden NFL 26.
Two Premium classics—Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue and Toy Story 3—are also set to leave, a relatively uncommon move because classic titles usually remain in the catalog longer.
Those Toy Story exits are less surprising after Disney announced a definitive collection of classic Toy Story games due in October 2026; other regions are expected to show the same list when local stores refresh.
