While Essential allows you to keep redeemed games for the duration of an active subscription, the games offered on the <strong>Extra and Premium<\/strong> catalogs are subject to rotation. This means titles can be removed from the service at a later date. Once a game leaves the catalog, access is lost unless you purchase it separately from the PlayStation Store.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new batch follows February&#8217;s additions, which included games like Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man 2, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.
