What happens to your save files?

You keep your saves. They stay on your console (and in cloud storage if you have it), so if you buy the game later you carry on where you stopped. What you lose is the right to play: after November 17 the catalog version won't start unless you own the game.

Why now?

The timing is hard to miss. GTA 6 launches on November 19, and GTA V and RDR2 leave the catalog two days earlier. Sony and Rockstar haven't explained it, but it clears the way for Rockstar's new game. If you want one last run through Los Santos or the Wild West before GTA 6, this is the week to do it.

Want to keep playing?

Both games are often cheap to buy outright, especially around Black Friday. Red Dead Redemption 2 plays on PS5 too, and GTA V for PS5 includes GTA Online.
