Grand Theft Auto III - The Definitive Edition to Depart PlayStation Plus Catalog in December

Subscribers to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium have less than a month left to revisit Liberty City, as Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition is set to leave the service on December 16.

This marks the end of the title’s current six-month stint on the platform, following a pattern of rotation common for Rockstar Games titles on subscription services.

A Familiar Departure

This isn't the first time the classic open-world title has cycled out of Sony's game catalog. The game, which has been available to Extra and Premium subscribers since June, has appeared on the PlayStation Store’s "Last chance to play" section.

The departure aligns with previous trends for the Definitive Edition trilogy. Both GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas have seen similar six-month windows on the service before being removed. For instance, San Andreas exited the catalog roughly one year ago.

What Else is Leaving?

GTA III isn't the only notable game making an exit just before the holidays. It joins a list of eight other titles scheduled to leave the service on December 16, including:

  • Battlefield 2042

  • Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge – Enhanced Edition

  • Sonic Frontiers

Alternative Ways to Play

For players wishing to continue their criminal career in Liberty City after December 16, the game remains available for purchase. Additionally, for those subscribed to Rockstar’s own subscription service, GTA+, Grand Theft Auto III remains accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and mobile devices.

Incoming Rockstar Titles

While one door closes, another opens. As GTA III prepares to leave, other Rockstar heavy hitters are stepping in or have recently arrived. Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online joined the PlayStation Plus catalog just this week, on November 18. Furthermore, the original Red Dead Redemption—featuring the new PC/current-gen updates—is scheduled to join the service on December 2.

Players looking to complete their run of GTA III are encouraged to do so before the mid-December deadline.
