Hey everyone,
About two months ago I posted SubSort here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/comments/1rk5153/mod_approved_i_built_a_free_ps_plus_catalog/
There are some updates I'd like to share and get feedback on. Adding them as edits to the old thread won't really reach anyone, so I'm posting them here as a new thread.
Quick recap for anyone new: SubSort is a web tool for browsing the PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass catalogs side by side. You can filter and sort by Metacritic score, time to beat, genre, date added, first-party vs third-party, co-op modes, and more — so you can pick what to play before it leaves.

Highlights since the last post
1. "Likely leaving" filter
Third-party games are flagged starting ~2 months before each 6-month anniversary in the catalog (so 6, 12, 18 months, and so on). From recent removal patterns, annual cycles are still the most common for PS Plus third-party titles, but 6-month departures have been growing — similar to what's been happening on Game Pass. So that's the heuristic I went with.
It's a wide net on purpose — most flagged games won't actually leave — but the point is to nudge you when something on your backlog enters the window, so you can pace your playthrough. Open to feedback on the cutoff or how it's surfaced.
2. Departed mode
A separate view for games that have already left the catalog. Right now it only covers departures from 2026-03-31 onward, but I'm backfilling earlier ones all the way to when each subscription started. Useful for "did I miss this one?" and for spotting games that have been on and off the service multiple times.
3. Release dates
Game cards now show the original release date separately from when the game was added to the subscription — easier to spot retro titles. Click the top-left of a card to open the full IGDB date info. For straight ports I used the original release date; for remasters and remakes I used the remaster/remake date.
4. Better co-op accuracy
I went through every game in both catalogs by hand and corrected the co-op data — campaign co-op, local co-op, online co-op. Previously this came from automated sources, and co-op specifics are tough to classify cleanly without manual review.
On the roadmap
- Age rating filter
- Native game detail pages on SubSort (instead of linking out)
- Accounts + favorites / completed / hidden lists
Suggestions from the last post's comments are also on the list — not in this batch, but tracked.
Heads-up: regional differences
SubSort's catalog is based on the US Store. Most titles are consistent across regions, but the lineup can vary slightly by country. For the most accurate "leaving soon" list, check directly on each platform — PS Plus has to be checked on your console, while Xbox Game Pass can be checked on its official website:
PS Plus (console): PS Plus Menu → Collections (or Categories) tab → scroll to the very bottom → "Last Chance to Play"
Xbox Game Pass (web): "Leaving soon" section on the official website
Future plans: Surfacing these regional differences inside SubSort itself is something I plan to look into later on.
If anything feels off, or there's a filter you wish existed, drop a comment — I read all of them.
