March’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are now available to claim

Sony has released this month’s first PlayStation Plus games.

March’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are EA Sports F1 23 (PS5, PS4), Sifu (PS5, PS4), Hello Neighbor 2 (PS5, PS4) and Destiny 2: The Witch Queen (PS4, PS5).

PlayStation Plus members can add these titles to their game library until April 1.

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

Febraury’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles were Foamstars (PS5, PS4), Rollerdrome 2 (PS5, PS4) and Steelrising (PS5).

The service’s more expensive Extra and Premium tiers offer subscribers access to the Game Catalogue, a library of up to 400 downloadable PS4 and PS5 games, as well as Ubisoft+ Classics, a curated selection of titles from the Assassin’s Creed publisher.

Features reserved for Premium subscribers include game trials, cloud streaming, and access to the Classics Catalogue, which includes hundreds of games from the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and PSP.

February’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue and Classics titles included Need for Speed Unbound, The Outer Worlds, Tales of Arise, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Resistance: Retribution.
