PlayStation Plus users have been given one last chance to play this “incredible” game that is leaving the service.
Last month, Sony announced the games that are set to be leaving the PlayStation Plus Extra Game Catalog in April.
As more games are added to the service over time, others are rotated out due to expiring contracts or new agreements with other parties.
One game in particular that PlayStation Plus users have one last chance to play is Lost Records: Bloom & Rage from Don’t Nod.

Made as a spiritual successor to the Life Is Strange series (which still appears to be caught in Square Enix’s web of nostalgia), Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is an adventure game released in two parts during early 2025.
The story is set across two time periods, concerning four teenage girls in 1995 who go on a journey of self-discovery, and later reconnect in 2022 to confront the long-buried secret that made them part ways.
Originally arriving on PlayStation Plus Extra at launch, the game appears to be leaving the service in mid-April, giving users one last chance to play the game at no extra cost.
“I can not recommend this game enough, it’s just that good. The story, the voice acting, the soundtrack, it’s all truly great,” reads one post on Reddit pleading for more users to check the game out. “This has been the only game of its type that has ever hit the heights of Life is Strange 1, and Before the Storm.”
In our own review of the game, Kate said that Tape 1 “proves that this is the evolution that the episodic adventure genre needed,” while Tape 2 “fails to capture a comparable level of magic.”
Still, if you fancy checking the game out as a modern Life Is Strange spiritual successor, it’s still available on PlayStation Plus until 21 April.
It joins EA Sports PGA Tour, Dave the Diver, Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, Spitlings, and TowerFall Ascension which will also be removed from the service on the same day.
Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus Essential is getting three new free games next week. On 7 April, users will be able to redeem Lords of the Fallen, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered for the month of April.
