PlayStation Plus: February Preview

Typically when you think of February, your mind goes to chocolates, flowers, and other lovey-dovey things. So we thought we’d celebrate this sappy month by scaring the bejesus out of you with Outlast on PS4.

We also have some great single-player PS3 experiences, including Metro: Last Light, a first-person shooter with an interesting take on morality, and Remember Me, a third-person action adventure where you’ll take down an evil corporation by beating lots of people up with your own unique combos and messing with people’s memories. If you have a significant other, you might be able to rope him or her into some bank-robbing action with Payday 2 on PS3. After all, everyone likes stealing stuff. I mean, uh… nevermind.

Finally, two PS Vita titles are joining the Instant Game Collection: Street Fighter X Tekken and ModNation Racers: Road Trip. Both include functionality with their respective PS3 versions. Fight against your friends in Street Fighter X Tekken no matter what platform they have, or download your previously made PS3 creations and use them in ModNation Racers: Road Trip.

But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6.

As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour…

  • Will Outlast be out this Tuesday? Cause my friend is gonna stay over on Saturday and this game would make it so much better.

  • So when are we supposed to get these games? It’s already a couple days into Feb. and they still aren’t on the store. I’m new to Plus, so I’m not really sure how the schedule works.

  • Thank you Sony for PS Plus. You have helped me save more money and enjoy gaming at the same time :) Always looking forward for updates each month. God bless Sony!

  • The vita playstation plus looks nice

  • Real nice line up!!

    Do you know in which order would you release each game? Is it going to be same order as shown in the picture?

  • Hm.. That’s actually a pretty good month’s worth of games!
    I have Outlast already on my computer I haven’t played yet.
    Remember Me I have as well, but it’s an awesome game and will be worth playing on the PS3 anyway.
    Also have Metro, but again might be worth playing here.
    Only one I don’t have is Payday 2, although I didn’t really care much for the original.

    Still, no complaints here. Nice selection!!

  • @ThumbsOfSteel74 Don’t mind some of these idiots. This is the reason why the gaming industry has a ton of stupid gamers. The more games they play, the more they become idiots. They have no idea how business works. I don’t mean everyone here that are praising about this month PS+ or how good the games are. I mean those who are saying about the availability of the titles.

    Come on guys, you been doing this for months. Have you guys been living under a rock? I guessing you guys are trolls…

  • Well, the thing is that some people have no idea how things work on this blog. A lot of people got Plus with their PS4s, and this is their first experience with it. So while there may indeed be idiots among them, not all are idiots.

    Many have talked to their friends who have Plus in the EU, where the whole IGC drops at the start of the month. Then they think it will work the same way here. Clearly it doesn’t.

    So I try to post legit info to help. The rest is up to them (i.e. coming back to read more comments and/or reading the ones just above their own).

  • @ThumbsOfSteel74 Really nice comment about how PS Plus works!

  • I only play PS3 with my kids so three Mature titles is a disappointment.

    Will check back next month.

  • Freaking SWEET!!! Payday 2 isn’t even 6 months old. Metro looks awesome. Remember Me has me curious.

    PS3 ownership with PS Plus is LEGEN—wait for it… and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is—DAIRY!

  • When will we be able to download these?

  • So happy i have a 2 year subscription. Aint gotta buy nothing cause Sony loves me so much I get free awesome ass games!!! SUCK ON THAT Microsoft!!!

  • @ThumbsOfSteel74 I see your point. It’s just gets tiring that we see too many comments about how PS+ works. They just need to learn how to use the system for themselves. I’m pretty sure you can find that type of information online. Sony isn’t going to teach every single person in the world how to use PS+. I’m not saying that everyone is. Isn’t it better to learn how instead of posting here like a noob? Trust me, it doesn’t hurt to.

    I think you’re helpful too. Way better than me personally.

  • Thanks so much for the awesome lineup! Will definitely be playing all the ps3/ps4 titles. <3

  • This is a great line up, Sony. Although it’s not really for me, I can see its value.

  • It is truly a great lineup, congrats Sony! I am new as a plus member, but I am enjoying every minute… Anyone has idea when can we enjoy all the new titles? I think someone mentioned by today they would be ready, but nothing yet :(

  • So what time is this coming out?

  • When are these games supposed to appear in the US store ? I don’t see them neither in my Vita, PS3 or PS4.

  • I am really psyched about each of these games. Great month. Payday 2 is not as high on the list but I loved the first one.

    Here’s my wishlist:

    PS VITA
    Terraria
    Dynasty Warriors Next

    PS3
    Any Tales Game
    Devil May Cry Collection

  • Thanks, guys. :)

    @Gamerzlimited: Yeah, but Sony could meet all the noobs halfway by adding just a few more lines of text to the Drop and Plus posts. Something like:

    “Look for all this and more when the store updates on Tuesday. We strive to update the store by 2pm PST (US), GMT -8.”

    I’ve been really snide in the recent past toward people asking similar questions, but nothing good comes of it.

    Though like I said, the rest is up to them. The answers are often just a few comments up or down from the questions.

  • Downloaded Metro yesterday, amazing game, I have always wanted to get this but couldn’t justify paying full price considering I don’t get that much PS3 playtime these days.

    PS Plus membership is paying off more and more as it matures. Thanks Sony for really making it worth it for us to have a PS Plus membership. Looking forward to playing Outlast soon.

  • ok im not sure if it’s just me or if there something wrong going on, but I believe this article said PayDay 2 would be free. I’ve checked yesterday and today and haven’t seen it new arivals or anywhere else, when I searched PayDay 2 it doesn’t show it as free. Is the game going to be free at some other point this month, i’m I looking at the wrong areas? If anyone could help me if would be appreciated greatly.(PS: I also live in North America)

  • *If there is something wrong*
    *haven’t seen it in new arrivals*

  • So I am a Playstation Plus member and I went to the Playstation Store and saw that Street Fighter X Tekken for PS Vita was not free but still at full price. Was this a one day deal in February?

  • All though i am not new to PS Plus i was still unaware at how the IGC schedule works. I had contacted support to find out. they were nice and helpful. I am happy with this months selection i will be getting all of the titles except for Street Fighter X Tekken as that is not really my cup o tea. Thank you to those people that are really nice and patient to those that just don’t know.

  • Loving this list of free games, this is awesome, I’m finally getting something to play on PS4 so I can blow the dust off it but still going to be all over my PS3

  • PHENOMENAL! I joined Plus about 3-4 months ago, and I am LOVING it! You guys are offering some great games, in fact, I bought a Vita because the Plus games were so great! Thank you!

  • How was I living without ps+. (Sidenote) why not do a month were you all put up a list of games and the fans vote for the free games they want.

  • j3sus facking christ..
    it was awesome..neeed more action game on ps vita

  • @DReaper10: Payday 2 is coming later this month. They add 1-2 games out of those in this preview every week. I’ll never understand why they don’t make that more clear in these monthly posts, but there you go.

    @Scarlattiman: Nah, you’re still okay to get it. The Vita games generally drop in the last weeks of the month.

    The store updates every Tuesday, usually by 2pm PST (US) GMT – 8.

  • @ThumbsOfSteel74 Yea I wish they made that clear, thanks for the explanation :)

  • I have to say, with this update and the last one. PS+ is by far one of the BESt deal around.

  • ok so idk if anyone else is having this problem but neither of those games are coming up on my instant game collection list on the ps vita…. please help!

  • when are modnation racers and street fighter x tekken coming to ps vita store

  • Hey happy to see the new game line up. Got so scared of Outlast when I played it. I had to take a break after 5 rooms. But I was wondering when payday 2 will be available this month?

  • When is Payday 2 going to be released on ps plus?

  • Yah I keep checking on the vita releases but haven’t rolled out yet.

    Also the sale with the cash back for olliolli and the others , how is the credit applied? I’ve bought two already, doubt I’ll buy any more….does anyone know now that works?

    Btw, psn+ converted my xbox 1 plan to buying a ps4. The combo of ps4/vita is so fantastic…now I’m looking for a ps3, I missed a lot of cool exclusive titles by never grabbing one.

    Thanks for the great psn+ program, it converted me from xbox and I’m sure others, and the word is spreading.

  • Nice. Glad I paid up through 2018 :p

  • Great update for the vita getting one has actually significantly increased the amount of time I play games big shot in the arm with guacamole and spelunky and now my gf and I spend hours a day trying to get past the damn jungle lol either way looking forward to street fighter x tekken

  • This month’s line-up is really awesome… but is Outlast ever going to be released on PS3 as well for those of us who haven’t upgraded yet?

  • Here’s a huge bummer. I rented Metro Last Light a few months ago – had a nice long save in it. I was very excited to see it as a Playstation Plus game for February. I downloaded it – and my previous save is not compatible? I have to start the whole game over, because apparently the digital version and the disc version aren’t the same thing. Who does something like that? I’ve never run into this before. When Uncharted 3 became a Playstation Plus game I had long beaten that game and traded it in. But when I downloaded it, my save was there, I was able to pick a chapter and jump right in.

    Horrible decision to make players have to start a game from scratch when there is already a save. Just a warning to anyone else out there that may run into this issue.

  • I love Playstation… and PS+ is proof that it loves me back!!!

  • seriously north america’s vita ps plus is soo late….still nothing :(

  • EDIT oh just read “ThumbsOfSteel74” it comes last Thursday of the month, thanks for the info
