PlayStation Plus is a must-have subscription service for anyone that games on PS4 or PS5 regularly, as it not only lets users play online multiplayer games, but it also gives them free games every month. Generally speaking, the free PlayStation Plus games program has been well-received by fans, though there have been some off-months, with February 2022 definitely being one of them.
The free PS Plus games for February 2022 have not been well-received by the community, and in fact have been widely criticized online for a variety of reasons. Free PS Plus games like EA Sports UFC 4 and Planet Coaster: Console Edition may be fine games, but they are also relatively niche games with limited appeal. And then there’s Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure, which is merely re-purposed Borderlands 2 DLC that’s nearly a decade old at this point and retails for just $9.99 anyway, making February 2022 one of the weakest months in PS Plus history.
Since the free PS Plus games for February 2022 were a bust for many subscribers, it’s understandable that fans are already looking forward to what’s coming in March. Sony has not revealed the free PS Plus games for March 2022 at the time of this writing, and likely won’t until Wednesday, February 23 rolls around, but past years already have fans excited to see which free games will be on offer.
As pointed out on Reddit by user kabirsingh84, March has typically been a strong month for the PlayStation Plus program, especially in recent years. Last March included heavy hitters like Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Remnant: From the Ashes, plus a bonus VR game in the form of Farpoint. March 2020 was headlined by Shadow of the Colossus, whereas 2019 included Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witness.
The free PS Plus games for March 2018 were impressive as well, with subscribers able to snag the likes of Bloodborne and the 2016 Ratchet & Clank game for their digital libraries. For one reason or another, Sony has made sure to go all-out with its PlayStation Plus offerings in March for four years straight, and so it will be interesting to see if the pattern holds true when the March 2022 games are announced.
Again, the free PS Plus games for March 2022 will not be announced for a couple more weeks, so subscribers should hang tight for more info.
