Next month’s PlayStation Plus games are rock solid offerings from Sony. Every single one of the games the PS5 manufacturer is giving away to its PS Plus subscribers is great.
Well, I can’t speak to the new PS5 game yet, as I haven’t played it—as it hasn’t released yet—but the rest are all top-notch freebies that everyone in their right mind will happily download (assuming you haven’t already)
Here’s what to expect when these go live next week.
PS5
- Maquette
PS4
- Final Fantasy VII: Remake
- Remnant: From the Ashes
PSVR
- Farpoint
First off, I included Maquette in my predictions post so I’m going to count that as a win. I probably should have included Final Fantasy VII Remake in that post as well, but hindsight is 20/20 as they say.
It’s nice to see Sony giving away a VR game—Farpoint, a cool sci-fi VR shooter—especially with the news of a brand new next-gen virtual reality headset coming to PS5.
Remnant: From the Ashes is a very fun online co-op action game that took the gaming world by storm when it released and has been somewhat quiet ever since. Maybe this will give it a resurgence.
Alas, the Final Fantasy VII Remake you get with PS Plus is not eligible for the free PS5 upgrade coming this June. We saw that announcement during yesterday’s somewhat lackluster State of Play with some handy side-by-side footage of the graphical improvements in the PS5 version. C’est la vie.
Finally, the PS5 exclusive car-combat game Destruction Allstars remains free throughout March so you still have plenty of time to download and play that one. You have a few days left to download the other February freebies as well, but the window is closing fast.
