Final Fantasy is set to be all but removed from the PlayStation Plus library, with more than half a dozen titles from the franchise being cut from the subscription package in May. Dwindling player numbers could be to blame.

According to a post from gaming news content creator Genki on X (formerly Twitter), seven Final Fantasy titles including FF7, FF8, FF9, FFX/X-2, FF12, FF15, and World of Final Fantasy will be removed from the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium library on April 16, joining Jotun, Abzu, and many others on May 21.

Normally, games are rotated through the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium library to keep it fresh and allow players to try newer games without paying full price. While this may be the case with the Final Fantasy game purge from the library, it is possible that they are being removed due to the series' lackluster sales.

Despite being one of the most anticipated FF games of 2024, the latest entry in the series, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, has only sold about half the copies that FF7 Remake did in the same time frame, according to Daniel Ahmad, a content creator at Gaming Insights. Christopher Dring, the head of GamesIndustry.biz, also weighed in on FF7 Rebirth's sales figures, claiming that box sales were 30 percent lower than FF7 Remake.
