Sony has pulled the curtain back on its plans for the Premium tier of PlayStation Plus for February 2025, while also confirming a batch of games that will be added to the service at some point later in 2025. PlayStation Plus Premium's biggest selling point is how it gives subscribers access to retro games from past PlayStation consoles, but there are still hundreds of classics that have yet to make their debut.
New games are added to PS Plus Premium every month, split between PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP representatives. Some incredible games are readily available to play through PS Plus Premium, but there are many more that will likely be added to the subscription service later on. Time will tell what is all in the pipeline for PS Plus Premium, but subscribers now know what to expect from the February 2025 offerings as well as a few other games that are coming later in 2025.
PS Plus Has Bad News for PS4 Gamers
Sony shares some unfortunate news for PlayStation Plus subscribers that are still playing on PS4.
Sony has confirmed that two games will be added to PS Plus Premium as part of the February 2025 lineup. The previously leaked Patapon 3 is joining PS Plus Premium on Tuesday, February 18 alongside combat flight simulation game Dropship: United Peace Force. Patapon 3 is a rhythm game that originally released for the PSP back in 2011, while Dropship: United Peace Force is a PS2 game that originally launched in 2002.
New PS Plus Premium Games Coming Soon
- Dropship: United Peace Force - February 18
- Patapon 3 - February 18
- Armored Core - TBA 2025
- Armored Core: Project Phantasma - TBA 2025
- Armored Core: Master of Arena - TBA 2025
In the meantime, Sony used its latest PlayStation State of Play event to give PS Plus Premium subscribers a sneak peek at a trio of titles that will be added in the months ahead. As announced by Sony, the original Armored Core, Armored Core: Project Phantasma, and Armored Core: Master of Arena are all coming to PS Plus Premium later this year. Specific dates for the Armored Core games on PS Plus were not announced.
Of course, a PS Plus Premium membership gets subscribers access to everything that comes with the lower tiers. This means Premium subscribers can also snag the free PS Plus games for February 2025 while they're available, giving them the chance to add Payday 3, High on Life, and Pac-Man World: Re-Pac to their collection. There's also the new PS Plus Extra games for February 2025 to take into account, with Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Top Spin 2K25, SaGa Frontier Remastered, Somerville, Tin Hearts, and Mordhau all joining the lineup on Tuesday, February 18 alongside Dropship and Patapon 3.
