Grab These 3 PS Plus Essential Games Before They're Gone Tomorrow

Beat the PS Plus deadline

by Liam Croft Mon 3rd Mar 2025

The usual monthly rotation of PS Plus Essential titles will take place tomorrow, 4th March, meaning you now have less than 24 hours to redeem to your PSN account the three games that were on offer for February 2025. All available on the base tier of Sony's subscription service, you can access them for as long as you maintain an active membership. Those three PS5, PS4 games are:

PAYDAY 3 (PS5) | Review
High on Life (PS5, PS4)
Pac-Man World Re-Pac (PS5, PS4) | Review

According to True Trophies, the comedy FPS High on Life has been one of the most popular PS Plus Essential games in years, charting highly within the data pool it has access to of over 3.4 million PSN accounts. Only Battlefield 2042, FC 24, and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions have been downloaded more, the outlet claims.

The three PS5, PS4 titles above will be rotated out for the March 2025 selection — which includes Dragon Age: The Veilguard — at 9am GMT tomorrow, so you now have less than 24 hours to boot up your PlayStation console and redeem the current lineup to your account to keep access to them all.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

High on Life may have been free, but as a trophy hunter it was not worth the 30 hours for the platinum. Regret. I think I end up playing worse games than I otherwise would have because of the PS Plus.

@wilky2988 I wouldn't blame PS Plus for that, I'd blame trophy chasing. If you're not enjoying a game, especially one you didn't have to pay extra for, just stop playing it.

Trophy chasing is one of the best ways to fully enjoy the games without any pressure

Just played high on life a couple of days ago, it's pretty good, the story is interesting and I want to know where the story is going 😃

@wilky2988 You know you could just…stop playing. You don’t have to obsessively hunt imaginary trophies.

@wiiware I enjoyed it on series X, and I’m glad more people got to play the game!

@wilky2988 Have you tried using the entertainment medium for entertainment?

Checking boxes off can be fun, but be careful, that's how gaming becomes another job ...
Using the trophy system as a simple archiver of my gaming journey instead as a checklist a small decade ago revitalized my love for gaming

HoL was a hilarious adventure. The inclusion of 5 B Rated films is great. Trashy movies to go with a trashy game. Great parodies of other sci fi works. Fun game, hope it gets a sequel.

@wilky2988 being trophy hunter is no fun.

Let's not bully wilky, even if they make bad decisions 😉
Honestly though HOL was the best game of the bunch and it didn't amaze me, but was fun for a few reasons, these upcoming ones for March do not have me excited though. I think because I've had a few bangers (and I do mean just a few) I always get my hopes up and inevitably disappointed
