PlayStation’s catalog shake-up: why March 17 matters

Push Square has flagged six PS4/PS5 games in the PlayStation Store’s “Last Chance to Play” slot ahead of Sony’s next PS Plus Extra update – expected around March 17, 2026. That puts a hard deadline on access for subscribers. This caught my attention because two of the flagged titles – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Paradise Killer – are short, highly replayable experiences you can actually finish (or meaningfully enjoy) in a weekend. If you’re on the Extra tier and juggling a backlog, those are the ones to prioritize.

  • What’s happening: Six PS4/PS5 games are currently labeled “Last Chance to Play” in the PS Store and are likely to be removed when the PS Plus Extra catalog updates on March 17.
  • Play or buy: If you want to keep playing after removal, download and finish them before the cutoff or pick them up on sale.
  • Short wins: Prioritize shorter, high-value entries (TMNT and Paradise Killer) that are easy to complete or replay.

Breaking down Push Square’s list — what to tackle first

Push Square’s report names several titles — Circus Electrique, CrisTales, Paradise Killer, Redout 2 and others — but the two that should jump to the top of your queue are TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and Paradise Killer. They represent different kinds of “quick wins.” Shredder’s Revenge is a modern, co-op focused beat-’em-up built for short, repeatable play sessions. Paradise Killer is a nonlinear detective game that rewards a single, focused playthrough and a handful of replays for alternate endings.

Why TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and Paradise Killer are priority plays

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge nails the retro arcade brawler formula with tight controls, six playable turtles and pick-up-and-play co-op that’s perfect for a two- or four-player couch session. If you’ve been meaning to try it with friends — or just want a stress-free, fun beat-’em-up you can blast through in a few hours solo — now’s the time. The title’s pixel-art presentation and modern netcode make it a low-friction multiplayer pick.

Paradise Killer is the opposite kind of bargain: a deliberate, nonlinear detective sandbox. It’s the sort of game you can knock out in a focused 10-20 hour run and then revisit for different conclusions. Its art and soundtrack make the time feel shorter, and because it’s heavily player-driven, losing access after it’s removed bites more than leaving a long live-service grind behind.

What this actually means for PS Plus subscribers

“Last Chance to Play” is Sony’s signal that titles will likely leave the Extra/Premium catalog on the next scheduled update. Historically, games flagged like this can be re-added later, but there’s no guarantee. If you download and start a title before it exits the catalog, you can usually continue to play while your subscription is active — but once it’s removed and you cancel or downgrade, access ends unless you buy the game outright. That’s the practical choice most players face: play through now, or buy if you want indefinite access.

Action plan — quick, pragmatic steps

  • Download TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and Paradise Killer now — these are short, rewarding experiences that won’t eat your backlog.
  • If you’re halfway through a flagged game, schedule a weekend sprint and finish it before March 17.
  • Decide whether to buy any you want to keep; sales often follow delistings and prices can be reasonable.
  • Check your PS Plus tier and local PS Store pricing — availability and exact removal times can vary by region.

Sony’s PS Plus catalog is fluid: titles arrive, leave, and sometimes return. That ebb-and-flow is normal, but it’s annoying when a game you wanted to try disappears mid-backlog. The smart move is to prioritize short, complete experiences you’ll regret losing access to — and that’s exactly what TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and Paradise Killer are built for.

TL;DR

Push Square’s “Last Chance to Play” flag means several PS4/PS5 games are likely to leave PS Plus Extra on March 17, 2026. If you’re on Extra, download and play TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and Paradise Killer first — both are short, high-replay-value picks that make the most sense to finish before the catalog update. If you want permanent access, buy any must-keep titles while prices remain reasonable.
