February is a great month for PlayStation Plus. Leading the pack of new games for the month is Horizon: Forbidden West, one of the best games of 2022, and it’s available on the service from Tuesday.
The other major games on PS Plus this month are Resident Evil 7, horror adventure game The Quarry And Borderlands 3. For those who love retro games, PS Plus Premium subscribers (as opposed to Subscribers at Essential and Extra levels) will have access to two classic PlayStation 1 RPGs: Wild Arms 2 and The Legend of Dragoon.
Here is some Notable PlayStation Plus inclusions so far:
There are a few notable games on this list, but it also lacks the blockbuster Day 1 vibe of Xbox Game Passwhich has big debuts like Halo Infinite. Additional fees $15 per month, $40 for three months or $100 for one year. (In the UK it’s £11, £32 or £84 respectively, and in Australia it’s AU$19, AU$55 or AU$135.)
The more expensive Premium tier ($18 or £13.49 per month) also includes download and streaming access to around 500 older games, mostly from pre-PS4 consoles, most of which will run at 60 frames per month. second. It also includes access to game demos. You can try games like Horizon: Forbidden West, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and Hot Wheels Unleashed. (Note: in Australia, the Premium tier is called Deluxe and costs AU$22 per month.)
One of the best things about the new PS Plus is that there are plenty of cult and indie favorites in the Extra/Premium tier.
Here are some older or lesser-known choices to date:
- Disaster Report 4: Memories of Summer
- XCOM 2
- Greed
- Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker

A strange but interesting thing that I noticed is that there is a plot of Warhammer games included. I know next to nothing about Warhammer lore, but I appreciate that it’s so deep and expansive. And I enjoyed games like Inquisitor (like a sci-fi Diablo) and the recent Chaos Gate (like XCOM with space marines). If you’re interested, the PS Plus list includes:
- Chaosbane
- Space Hulk: Deathwing
- Inquisitor
- Necromunda: Underhive Wars
- Space Hulk Tactics
I’ll update this list as new games are added and my colleagues remind me of top-tier classics I’ve missed.
