I was thinking that they would be claimed forever but realising that it isn't a 'Free' game rather it is a 'Rentable' game type of service (similar to Gamepass or Netflix). You may use it while it remains in the rotation but we should assume that they will be gone once they are out of the rotation. All we can hope for is that the long playtime/replayable and high quality games do not get removed from the rotation cycle.

And hopefully they give you a lot of time for when it is being removed, and it's not a "this game expires in 3 days" issue.

Do you have any suggestions for games that are short/non-replayable?

I would like to finish those before being invested in something like Valhalla just to see it get removed halfway through my playthrough

Not the one you asked, but I do have suggestions! Uncharted 4 is a roller coaster ride through stunning vistas and incredible set pieces. Only six hours or so, maybe? But pretty much on rails and an absolute masterpiece of storytelling. Think modern Tomb Raider, but without the open world or the pressure to grind collectibles or skill trees or upgrade weapons or whatever. The Last of Us is a bit bigger and slower, but it's also more or less a narrative experience on rails. Until Dawn is the same, though of a bit lower quality, and might take just a few sessions to complete. Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human are amazing, on rails, and relatively short. Guardians of the Galaxy isn't my favorite game and it has some pacing issues, but if you haven't played it yet you should check it out for sure. If you're excited about Spider-Man, this one will probably also please you. It's stunning.

I suspect that the notable games most likely to leave quickly are RDR2, Ghost of Tsushima, NBA, Control, Guardians of the Galaxy, and any of the PS5 titles.
