In these days of digital gaming, it isn't too much of a surprise that storefronts remove games on a regular basis. Some claim that the digital video game market made up 95.3% of total sales in 2024, showing how the physical market (while still beloved by collectors) is in danger of collapsing.
As well as digital sales often being much more expensive for the likes of the Nintendo Switch, there are concerns about what happens when licenses expire. This has been hammered home by Ubisoft's Philippe Tremblay telling players to get 'comfortable' with not owning their games.
No matter what console you play on, it's becoming increasingly clear that a game's lifespan can be finite, especially as more and more titles become live service offerings.
Only recently, we've seen PlayStation lose the $400 million flop of Concord, MultiVersus, Marvel's Avengers, and more.

According to Delisted games, there are 353 PlayStation 4 games you can no longer buy, 409 PS3, and just two PS2 games (one being Final Fantasy XI).
In May 2025, Sony caused a stir when it removed the PS Plus Collection and took away our subscription access to the likes of Grand Theft Auto V and God of War.
You might be missing out on hundreds of free movies from Sony, but sadly, it's about to take away 106 titles from Entergram.

Delisted Games notes that 106 PS4, Vita, and Switch titles will be delisted on September 30, 2025. 34 titles will be moved to another publisher on October 1st, and retail versions will be discontinued.
The games are only available on the Japanese PS Store, although gamers in North America and Europe can get them with a Japanese PSN account instead of their regional storefronts. It's also been spotted that most of these are visual novels rather than traditional games, meaning they're a popular but niche loss.
Explaining the mass removal, Entergram states: "We have decided to end sales of the packaged and downloadable versions of the following titles on September 30, 2025. We sincerely apologize to our customers, and ask for your understanding.
“If you are planning to purchase the titles, please purchase them as soon as possible."

The statement continues to clarify this doesn't apply to retail copies of Entergram games, while 'user support' will continue, and there's a plan to hold a fire sale before the games are removed.
Entergram is allowed to remove its titles because none of them have any online elements.
Even though pulling games isn't exactly uncommon, to lose so many titles in one go is pretty unprecedented. It's true that we're not exactly missing out on anything major here, and it's not like we won't be able to play the Resident Evil 4 remake, but it's still a sting for gaming preservationists.
