PlayStation Plus subscribers can download four free games in February—Undisputed, Subnautica: Below Zero, Ultros, and Ace Combat 7—on both PS5 and PS4. The titles are available from February 3 and remain claimable for the month, provided the subscription stays active across Essential, Extra, or Premium tiers.
February Free Games Lineup
- Undisputed – A fast‑paced, multiplayer‑focused sports title offering quick matches for competitive play.
- Subnautica: Below Zero – The sequel to the acclaimed underwater survival adventure, delivering an expansive open‑world experience on alien oceans.
- Ultros – A retro‑inspired shoot‑‘em‑up that blends classic arcade action with modern polish.
- Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – A long‑running aerial combat franchise featuring cinematic dogfights and a narrative‑driven campaign.
How to Claim the Free Games
All four titles appear in the PlayStation Store’s “Free Games” section. Simply add each game to your library before the end of February. Once added, the games remain playable for as long as your PlayStation Plus subscription is active, even after the claim window closes.
Subscription Requirements
The free‑games benefit applies to any active PlayStation Plus plan—Essential, Extra, or Premium. Whether you pay monthly, quarterly, or annually, you will automatically receive the February titles as soon as they appear in the store, without any extra steps beyond adding them to your library.
Benefits for Players and the Market
For gamers, the February lineup provides immediate value: Subnautica: Below Zero and Ace Combat 7 are full‑priced releases that would otherwise require separate purchases. Offering these titles for free reduces the overall cost of ownership and can attract new subscribers.
From a market perspective, the free‑games model drives traffic to the PlayStation Store, where users may discover additional content such as DLCs or related titles, generating ancillary revenue. It also reinforces Sony’s ecosystem by rewarding players who maintain an active subscription, thereby increasing customer lifetime value.
Developer and Publisher Advantages
Inclusion in the PlayStation Plus free‑games rotation offers developers a powerful promotional boost. The exposure can raise brand awareness, drive post‑launch sales of related merchandise, and provide a reliable data point for assessing player engagement across the PlayStation ecosystem.
Future Outlook for PlayStation Plus Free Games
While the February selection focuses on a mix of sports, survival, arcade, and flight‑sim genres, future months are expected to continue blending high‑profile releases with indie and classic titles. Subscribers should monitor the PlayStation Store’s “Free Games” banner each month, as the claim window typically closes at the end of the month.
