PlayStation Plus Essential’s February lineup gives all active subscribers four full‑price games—Undisputed, Subnautica: Below Zero, Ultros, and Ace Combat 7—available on both PS5 and PS4 from February 3 through March 2, providing immediate value without extra cost.
February 2026 Game List
- Undisputed – Boxing simulation (PS5 & PS4)
- Subnautica: Below Zero – Survival‑exploration (underwater) (PS5 & PS4)
- Ultros – Action‑combat with gardening mechanics (PS5 & PS4)
- Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – Aerial combat simulator (PS5 & PS4)
How the Claim Period Works
Games become claimable on February 3 and remain in the subscriber’s library until March 2. After the window closes, titles are removed unless the subscription is renewed for the following month. This claim‑and‑play model has been a core feature of PlayStation Plus Essential since its 2022 relaunch.
PlayStation Plus Tier Overview
PlayStation Plus operates with three tiers: Essential (monthly game drops), Extra (large curated library), and Premium (classic titles and cloud streaming). The February Essential lineup reinforces the tier’s focus on delivering high‑value, cross‑generation titles to price‑sensitive gamers.
Why Each Game Matters
- Undisputed – Offers realistic boxing physics and a deep career mode, providing a free entry to a genre that usually requires a full purchase.
- Subnautica: Below Zero – Expands the acclaimed underwater survival experience with new biomes and a narrative‑driven story, renewing interest in the franchise.
- Ultros – Highlights an indie title that blends fast combat with garden‑building, showcasing Sony’s support for smaller developers.
- Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – Delivers polished aerial combat that remains a staple for flight‑game fans, adding a high‑octane experience to the lineup.
Benefits for Subscribers
Current members receive four full games at no extra cost, boosting the perceived value of the subscription. Prospective subscribers gain a diverse mix of sports, survival, indie, and combat titles, making the Essential tier an attractive entry point.
Future Outlook
Sony typically announces the next month’s lineup a few days before the claim window opens. While February’s titles are confirmed, details for March remain pending, with the same claim period expected.
