In general, a game’s page on the PlayStation store reveals the date it will leave PS Plus. As a recent example, the store page for Soma revealed that it’s leaving PS Plus in just a few days on October 18. The same was true in the case of Red Dead Redemption 2, as the store page highlighted the date it leaves the service. In most cases, this news is revealed closer to that specific date and not when the game joins the service. However, the date Grand Theft Auto: Vice City leaves PS Plus may have been announced months in advance.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition is currently set to leave PS Plus Extra and Premium on February 20, 2023. This information comes from the Japanese PlayStation Blog and was later posted on Reddit. However, it doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere else, so gamers will have to wait for a confirmed date. Assuming the date is true, it means that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be a part of PS Plus Extra and Premium for four months, more than enough time for gamers to finish their playthroughs.
The same page on the Japanese PlayStation Blog does not mention any set expiry date for the other games coming to PS Plus this month. Perhaps they will be a part of PS Plus for years to come, or the date they leave has simply not been finalized. Regardless, some fans argue that it would be convenient for subscribers if they knew the exact date a game leaves the service on the official post.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is one of 23 games coming to PS Plus Extra and Premium this month. Other titles in this list include Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Dragon Quest 11 S: Echoes of an Elusive Age, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Inside, The Medium, and more. Premium users also get to play Ultra Street Fighter 4, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and remasters of three Yakuza games as a part of their subscription tier.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch.
