What’s the February 2018 PlayStation Plus lineup, then? It’s the question on everyone’s lips as we sprint towards the end of another month. And when will the latest PS Plus update even be announced? It’s a good question, as January happens to be one of those awkward months where it ends on a Wednesday, meaning we could be waiting quite a while for Sony to reveal the goods. Let's get into it.
When will February 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games be announced?
If Sony follows its usual announcement schedule, then February 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games should be revealed on Wednesday, 31st January. This is literally the last day of the month, however, so there’s a small possibility that the platform holder may opt to go earlier. Our guess is that it’ll keep you waiting, though.
When will February 2018’s free PS Plus games be available to download?
Sony always makes the free PlayStation Plus games available to download on the first Tuesday in every month, so in this instance you’re looking at Tuesday, 6th February.
What are February 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games?
Ah, that’s the question we all want answered. PlayStation Plus has really improved over the past year or so, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Telltale’s Batman as year openers were a sure-fire sign of intent. Shadow of the Colossus is scheduled to release around the same time as the February 2018 PS Plus update, but there’s zero chance you’ll be nabbing that for free. Instead, we expect the manufacturer to delve into its archives yet again – here’s hoping it can keep the high-quality content flowing.
Which free February 2018 PlayStation Plus games do you want?
Here’s the question, then: what free February 2018 PlayStation Plus games do you want? Would you like the platform holder to plump up for something meaty like Deus Ex again – or would you prefer some high-quality indie titles for a change? It’s been a while, actually, since Sony plumped up for a lower-profile digital download, so it might be nice to see it adopt that direction. Also, how are you feeling about the PS3 and PS Vita giveaways of late? Is it time to cut them out of the lineup?
What free February 2018 PS Plus games do you want? Are you looking forward to next month’s lineup? You know the drill in the comments section below.

Same answer I gave for the previous months and same answer I expect I will give for every month following too...
Keep the AAA's coming and hope I don't own it.
Copy and paste
I want golden abyss for vita and
I am bread for ps4
@John_paigon wow you have low expectations lol
the state of plus games for the US and EU is sad. SEA territories got ratchet & clank and knack last month. add to that that plus costs almost nothing there. for example in indonesia you can get 12 months of plus + a full version of fifa 18 for 40 EUR right now. and the regular price for 12 months of plus is 20 EUR. WOW! (and no: it's not that games generally cost less there. games cost about the same as in US/EU)
I want tomb raider
I will admit, based on the recent offerings, I am more optimistic that February will deliver a 'good' selection. I am much happier to receive at least 1 AAA game and would prefer a AAA game I already own to an 'Indie' game I probably won't play. I can at least add the AAA to play without needing to put the disc in and, if it has MP, more likely to find the online component rejuvenated for at least the month.
I know others may trade games in but I still keep mine. For those that do trade in, getting a decent AAA games may at least give them more value if they already owned it as they can get some money back. Another bonus for AAA offerings to offset the 'disappointment' of receiving a game they own.
As for giving up PS3 and/or Vita, I really don't think they will. I don't think either will be stopped until Sony decide to end the PS3 or Vita online support. If they do, then they are literally blackmailing PS3 owners to keep playing the games they already have received and not getting anything in return. If the PS3 online support is turned off, the IGC games will be unplayable anyway so its like cancelling PS+. Those PS3 owners have a choice of cancelling PS+ and get any money back and maybe should be given a discount option to buy any games they may wish to keep permanently. Maybe even given the chance to get some 'free' - Upgrade from a conditional licence to permanent.
I think ending PS3/Vita support whilst those consoles are still active, throws too many issues up. Why pay for PS+ if they don't get anything in return - other than access to the games they already received? At least if they time it to end with the end of online, it makes more sense. Those games wouldn't be playable anyway and couldn't download new games either.
Uncharted thief's end
And Firewatch
Andromeda. I'll play it for free*.
Rachet and Clank and firewatch are great choices! Wouldnt mind GoW 3 Remastered or What Remains of Esith Finch. #ReachForTheStars
Monster Hunter World and Dragon Ball Figther Z
@Neolit Best response on here...but most probably one least likely to happen!
I think it will be a Ubisoft game. Possibly Far Cry Primal. I would quite like Dark Souls 2 since I got 3 for chrimbo and DS1 remaster is coming in May.
I would like to see NBA 2k18 or maybe nhl 18 for free would be good to have any of them
Am hoping for Far Cry Primal. Knowing my luck it will be Destiny 2
THE PS4 MONTHLY GAMES FOR FEBUARY 2018
WWE 2K17
BATMAN TELTALE SERIES
THAT'S YOU
AND MINECRAFT PLAYSTATION4 EDITION.
I’m gradually just buying the games I keep hoping to get on PS Plus because my hopes never come to reality. So, with that said, the next few games on my [realistic] PS plus wish list are - Oxenfree, Bloodborne, and Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir.
Some games that I would like: Hitman, Odin Sphere, Tales of Zestiria, Dying Light, Far Cry Primal, Full Throtle, Firewatch, Divinity.
Ratchet & Clank and Firewatch.
Far cry 4 would be ok or The Division maybe but for PS3 maybe they should drop the price for plus on that system if they cut down the games you get on it since it's not had any decent so called triple A games since before PS4 was launched. If they take away plus for PS3 then that's cutting a lot of revenue but if I was just a PS3 owner who maybe upgraded to that system last 2 years because there are people who can't afford a PS4 buy a PS3 and so far plus for it is not worth it.
Gravity rush 2
Knack
Firewatch.
I would like to see a Tom Clancy's title like Division n maybe AC4 Black Flag
@Neolit this is the best answer I seen lolol. Having a full time job n two kids leaves very little time for gaming n to enjoy all the awesome games we have . If we get 4 extra hours a day that's about 5 -6 hours total I would get, that would be awesome.. Con Sony step your game up
some lego game.
Some realistic games I’d like to see for PS4: Knack 2, Inside, Oxenfree, Crypt of the Necrodancer, The Banner Saga, The Witness, Gravity Rush Remastered, and Firewatch.
But I just got deus ex and batman, I don't have time to play more free game
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite & Need for Speed!
@Neolit What's the point in staring at a paused screen for four hours?
I totally agree with you on the aging s***. I'd even ask a bit more, so that we're back to our 20-ish years, with all the perks that come with it (good looks, quick reaction time and so on).
PS+ is providing me online MP for Monster Hunter... that's all I need for a while.
Wishlist time again, huh? let's say:
PS4 - Wolfenstein, Valkyrie Chronicles, Gravity Rush 2
PSV - Grand Kingdom, Aegis Earth, maybe the first Danganronpa. I'm still not well-versed in the indie library so I have little idea what to wish from there until it arrives. I doubt Iconoclasts will be on PS+ a couple weeks after release, and the game deserves better anyway.
Due to internet connectivity issues, I have yet to try the home console offerings of this month, although Uncanny Valley impressed me. A curious blend of seemingly mystical horror that unfolds into more of a Michael Crichton-esque technothriller. Although with the emphasis on multiple playthroughs, it can get a bit tedious to roam through the whole "prologue" every time, especially since there don't seem to be any influential alternatives to try there.
Multiple people on reddit have noted that they got an ad for dark souls 2 scholar of sins and far cry 4 for ps4 in february.
Far cry primal and some VR stuff please.
Knack
Monster Hunter World and Dragonball Fighterz seems reasonable
Mad Max, The Order 1886, and Sparc for PSVR
Metro redux is bound to appear at some point, as is alien isolation.
After playing Telltale Batman this month, I wouldn't mind another Telltale game.
Celeste
The order is good to be a ps plus game next month
ign is reporting one off the dark souls games
@get2sammyb
A Hat in Time
Wind Jammers
Surely it makes sense for Sony to provide a game, which then has extra DLC which may recoup Poor Sales Figures on a Game - ie Deus Ex. - A stand alone Game with No DLC offers no further income, unless a sequel is in the offing -
However, in a Turn-around from my above comments - How about Prey....?
@orbi They're probably looking at the (probably false?) rumour, Push Square reported on earlier? https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/01/leaked_ps_plus_lineup_looks_too_good_to_be_true
Just bought What Remains of Edith Finch, but that would be a really good addition for the other Plus subscribers.
Personally I would like a remaster like Loco Roco or Patapon!
@BAMozzy I dont need a game i already own and there are tons of great indies. If there is a triple A i did not i probably dont want it. 😂
@nhSnork Valkyrie Chronicles, Gravity Rush 2 come on get these games they are cheap and they deserve to be bought mate.😀😋
@Flaming_Kaiser as do all of the PS Plus offerings if we're honest. But I have gargantuan wishlists on PS Store, with Vita titles taking priority lately because they're easier to access at any time unlike my solely Remote Play dependent PS4 experiences. I think Nights of Azure is the last one I've bought to date, and that was back in July. XD
The giveaways have offered quite thrilling surprises for me in the past, ones I would have bought as it is but couldn't help cheering "don't mind if I do!" upon getting. Severed comes to mind as an example. Still, I don't consider myself entitled to any particular game as a subscriber, and it's all wishful thinking while I equally appreciate IGC acquainting me with many discoveries I have barely even heard of instead (like the relatively concise but impressive Uncanny Valley this month). And with some of Gravity Rush 2 content floating on the sinking online ship at the moment, I hope to get it at some point before summer anyway, full price or not.
@Flaming_Kaiser That's where you and I differ! I would much rather have a AAA game that I was unwilling or unsure of spending £40+ on at launch, or didn't buy because other games appealed more than some cheap indie game that I will never play and, if I ever wanted to, can pick up for a fraction of the cost of AAA games that offer infinitely more in terms of content (generally).
I would much prefer to receive a AAA 6-7 rated game than a 9-10 rated indie and if that 'indie' is worth playing, I would prefer to buy it and support the indie developer....
Ratchet and Clank or Gravity Rush would probably be high up my list for PS4. Windjammers maybe for a smaller title? But honestly, anything is a bonus right now - only just finished Telltale's Batman and haven't even started Deus Ex yet.
