February 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games have been announced

Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially confirmed the first of February 2023’s PlayStation Plus games.

Following a recent leak, the company announced on Wednesday that February’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles are OlliOlli World (PS5/PS4), Mafia Definitive Edition (PS4), Evil Dead: The Game (PS5/PS4) and Destiny 2: Beyond Light (PS5/PS4 DLC).

Subscribers will be able to claim the games from February 7 until March 6.

Sony has also announced that the PlayStation Plus Collection, a library of 20 PS4 games which subscribers can play on PS5, will be pulled in May.

January’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (PS5/PS4), Fallout 76 (PS4) and Axiom Verge 2 (PS5/PS4). They’re available for subscribers to claim until February 7.

Essential is the entry-level PlayStation Plus membership tier, which offers subscribers access to a few ‘free’ games every month.

Players can continue to play these games even after they’re no longer available to claim at the end of the monthly period as long as they continue to subscribe to PlayStation Plus Essential (or a higher tier).

Once their membership ends, they’ll no longer be able to play these games unless they resubscribe.
