While it isn’t the biggest month the service has ever seen, PlayStation still provided PS Plus subscribers with some solid games this month, and it would be a shame to miss them. The February 2022 PS Plus games are UFC 4, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, and Planet Coaster. The announcement did initially face some backlash for the lineup, but it’s a decent spread of genres.

The PlayStation Store refreshes on Tuesdays at 10 AM PST, so fans only have until then to claim the games. After that, players should be able to claim the free PS Plus games for March 2022, which include Ghostrunner, Ark: Survival Evolved, Sonic Racing, and Ghost of Tsushima Legends. The reaction to March’s lineup has been more well-received than February was, with some believing it could be an indication of PlayStation’s rumored Project Spartacus service.
Project Spartacus would effectively introduce a tiered subscription to the service, allowing players to access a library of games at a variety of price points. The higher tier a subscriber pays for, the larger the offering that they have access to, with the final tier rumored to include access to plenty of classic PlayStation games. Supposedly, Spartacus will release in the next few months, but PlayStation hasn’t revealed anything about the change officially.
If it does turn out to be true, it could mark PlayStation’s attempt at competing with Xbox Game Pass, which has grown immensely since it debuted. The offerings on Game Pass are one of, if not the, biggest draws to Xbox as a platform right now. For PlayStation to maintain its dominant position, it’s becoming clear that it needs to have a solid counter-offering.
All that aside, be sure to claim the February PS Plus games, as even if they aren’t necessarily incredible it’s still better to have them in one’s library to miss out on them completely. After all, it’s impossible to say how tastes will shift and change over time, so the free games may be appealing later down the line.
