Sony’s own action-adventure gameHorizon: Forbidden Westis strangely leaving the PlayStation Plus Extra lineup next month. What makes it even odder is that only Europeans will be affected by this move.

Thankfully, a promising indie calledThe Plucky Squireis heading to PlayStation Plus Extra on day one.
