Some of the best indie games on PS4 are at risk of being made unavailable for purchase on the PS Store following news that Adult Swim Games might see its entire catalog of games delisted in the near future. This follows on from our report that PS4 indie Small Radios Big Television might have its trophies delisted as it turns out it's one of 10 titles potentially at risk.

10 Adult Swim Games-published titles could be delisted soon

According to a Polygon report, Warner Bros. Discovery has been informing several developers who had games released under the Adult Swim Games publishing label that they will be "retiring" — in other words, delisting — those games from their respective storefronts. So far, three games in Adult Swim's catalog have been confirmed for delisting, although the process seems likely to affect all 10 Adult Swim Games-published games on the PS Store.

Here are the ten PS4 trophies lists at risk of being delisted from the PS Store:
Delisting would mean that the above 10 PS4 games would no longer be available for sale on the PS Store, although this wouldn't prevent PS5 and PS4 players who have previously purchased the games from accessing them. So, if there are any games on the above list that you've been meaning to add to your PSN game library, you might want to consider picking them up now in case they disappear forever.
That said, there's also a chance that these games could show up on the PS Store again someday. According to the Polygon article, a number of developers who worked to publish their games with Adult Swim Games maintain their rights of the game's IP. This includes Michael Molinari, the developer of Soundodger+, and Team2Bit, the developers of Fist Puncher — two Adult Swim Games released on Steam.

While the initial publishing of the games currently on the PS Store will seemingly be delisted, publishers could always re-publish the titles themselves or via a new publishing label if they retain the rights to the IP. According to Michael Molinari, that might involve the developers amending the game to remove all mention of Adult Swim Games, but it otherwise seems doable. This might go some way to explaining why Owen Deery, developer of Small Radios Big Television, was able to release the game on PC for free earlier in the week.
Either way, let us know in the comments if you'll be picking up any of the above PS4 trophy lists on the PS Store before they get delisted. Also, don't forget that Rain World is still available on PS Plus Extra at the time of writing too and is easily one of the most underrated PS Plus games around.
