PS Plus Extra and Premium users are warned not to download an August 2026 game without checking their PS5 libraries first. Team17’s multiplayer action shooter Hell Let Loose is joining the catalog today. However, the game was offered as a day-one monthly title in October 2021, which means many subscribers risk overriding their existing license.
Downloading PS5 game Hell Let Loose via PS Plus Extra will override permanent free license
For the uninitiated, players who redeem monthly (now Essential) games and then download them later from the PS Plus Extra catalog are often locked out of those games for good when they leave the service. Monthly games are yours to keep, but Extra/Premium games are not. If you re-download a game from Extra that you previously claimed via Essential, you risk overriding your license.
As I’ve said before, players can contact Sony Support for a fix, but a resolution isn’t guaranteed.
This brings us to Hell Let Loose. The shooter was a rare day-one game in October 2021 before PS Plus was revamped and divided into three tiers. I only realized this because I was on the game’s PS Store page and had the option to download Hell Let Loose before it was added to the catalog.
I was certain I didn’t buy the game, and upon checking my library, I realized I was able to access Hell Let Loose because I had redeemed it five years ago.
You’ve been warned!
