PS5, PS4 Adventure Game Being Delisted, Get Free Upgrade Now

Free PS5 upgrade

A 2023 adventure game is in the process of being delisted from the PS Store, and owners of the PS4 version have one last chance to claim its free PS5 upgrade. Outright Games has announced that it’s replacing its festive title The Grinch: Christmas Adventures with a new edition that’ll replace the current listing.

The Grinch: Christmas Adventures PS4 owners won’t be able to claim free PS5 upgrade after it’s delisted

As is the case with most of these replacements, the original version of The Grinch: Christmas Adventures will be completely removed from the PS Store, meaning that even if you already own the PS4 version, you won’t be able to snag the free PS5 upgrade. This applies to owners of both the disc and digital versions.

The Grinch: Christmas Adventures has already been delisted from several online storefronts, but its listing is still live on the PS Store at the time of this writing. However, the $39.99 game is expected to be removed sometime today.

The game’s new version — the Merry & Mischievous Edition — will come with additional content, including six extra levels, a speedrun mode, new moves for Max, an in-game store, and new presents and rewards, among other things.

Check out a trailer below:

Best PS4 Themes Leaving PS Store, Get Them With These Codes

PS Store codes for Ghost of Tsushima PS4 themes

Three of the best PS4 dynamic themes will soon no longer be available to download as their PS Store codes are set to expire. Back in 2022, Sucker Punch Productions added a set of beautiful Ghost of Tsushima dynamic themes on the PS Store, which can only be claimed via limited-time codes that will become invalid ahead of Ghost of Yotei‘s launch.

PS Store claim codes for Ghost of Tsushima PS4 themes expiring soon

The following codes will expire on October 3, 2025. I can confirm that they are still working at the time of this writing, so use them while you can:

Americas: 5FM9-5LN6-FCM2

Europe: 4PNM-4RNP-9C92

Asia: J7CG-8DNC-BN6K

Japan: 8FLX-26NE-D9AA

Korea: GHGR-L3N9-3DTQ

Folks in Australia and New Zealand should try using the European code.

Sucker Punch Productions shared these codes two years after Ghost of Tsushima’s (and PS5’s) launch for those who missed out on the themes when they were originally released. For some reason, they have since been scrubbed from PlayStation’s website.

Yes, we know these codes are pointless for PS5 players, but we have a small glimmer of hope that our beloved PS4 themes will work on PS6 (Sony must have heard our cries by now).

Ghost of Yotei has gone gold and will release on October 2, 2025.

Upcoming PS5 Exclusive Might Be in Serious Trouble

PS5 exclusive Fairgames

Another major PS5 console exclusive appears to be in development hell, as we continue to receive one disappointing update after another. Although there’s been no announcement from Sony, fans have discovered that “thrilling” heist experience Fairgames has just lost its game director.

PS5 exclusive Fairgames has lost both studio founder and game director

Fairgames is one of Sony’s ambitious live service projects that survived recent cuts and cancellations that affected nearly a dozen games. But we saw the first signs of trouble when its developer, Haven Studios, lost founder Jade Raymond.

It’s widely assumed that Raymond was ousted after a Bloomberg report revealed that her departure followed Fairgames’ external testing, which was poorly received. Sony only acknowledged Raymond’s departure after the company was contacted for comment.

As spotted by a Reddit user over the weekend, Haven Studio game director Daniel Drapeau ended a 4.5-year run at Sony in August, and is now working at WB Games. Considering Fairgames was expected in 2026, this certainly isn’t a positive update. Not only did the game fail external testing, but it also lost both its studio founder and game director in quick succession.

Recently, a rumor about Fairgames’ cancellation was debunked, but at this point, we wouldn’t be surprised if that actually ends up happening.

Last Chance to Claim Great PS Plus Free Games to Keep Forever

PS Plus free games

PS Plus users have another day to claim three great games for free and keep them in their libraries for good, if they haven’t already. As the September 2025 Essential monthly games go live on Tuesday, the August free games lineup will depart the service for good.

PS Plus Essential September 2025 monthly free games go live on Tuesday, the 2nd

August was another fantastic month for subscribers of the most basic PS Plus tier, who were treated to two great months in a row. In July, we got Diablo IV, Jusant, and The King of Fighters XV. And in August, we got Lies of P, Day Z, and My Hero One’s Justice 2.

Unfortunately, the streak ends now for some. Although September brings another set of great games, some players weren’t too thrilled to see a 2021 game — Psychonauts 2 — headlining the lineup. However, we encourage subscribers to give it a chance. Viewfinder is also another great addition, even if it’s not the AAA game that you wanted.

The September Essential games will go live at noon local time tomorrow. As usual, we’ll update our readers when the games begin rolling out.

What do our readers think of the September lineup?
