February is nearly here, so it’s time to have a look at what’s coming to PlayStation Plus.
To start, we’re excited to bring new release The Simpsons Arcade Game as a free offering for PlayStation Plus subscribers! Releasing on February 7th, subscribers will be able to relive this classic title remastered in HD, complete with the online four-player cooperative play it’s famous for. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Plus subscribers will have access to download a bonus PS3 full game – Far Cry 2.
You’re also going to want to check out the other free games coming throughout the month, including Square Enix’s PS one classic Final Fantasy V, two PlayStation minis, six additional PSN games, and the SEGA Genesis Bundle – timed with SEGA’s two-week release and sale on the Store put back in Plus just in case anyone missed them.
In the discount department, PlayStation Plus subscribers will want to keep their eyes out for great sales on games like new release The House of the Dead III (30% Off) Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition (Bundle) (20% off), and Hamilton’s Great Adventure (50% off PSN sale price). There’s plenty more we couldn’t squeeze into this post, so keep your eye on the Store Update PlayStation.Blog posts in February to keep up with Plus updates as they come.
Finally, next Tuesday we’ll release an early-access demo of The House of the Dead III exclusively for PlayStation Plus. Here’s a trailer of this PSN exclusive arcade shooter with HD graphics, Trophies and full PlayStation Move support.

Ok, so I’ve never been interested in PlayStation Plus. I own all of the PSN games I actually want and I still have the old 60GB launch PS3 with the memory card reader, so I can back up all of my saves locally. But this offer might actually get me to finally join.
I need a bigger hard drive.
This is good. No better than good – It’s fantastic! This is why PS rules!
Thank you!
amazing update, simply amazing. Best update thus far, tons of free stuff! Keep it up, hope this is a sign of good things to come.
wooooooooooooow, epic upate!!! Thanks Sony!!! FarCry 2 and Final Fantasy!!!
How about Deus Ex? How much is it?? $29,90 please please :P
Hey people, it’s OK if games get released again after a few months – those that recently joined should get a chance to pick up these great games.
Could you give more details about The Simpsons?
Also, how about in a future firmware update, you allow us to check the following to be automatically downloaded:
– Qore
– Pulse
– The Tester
So, Final Fantasy V disappears from the download history when your ps plus subscription runs out or will it be permanent?
As long as you’re a Plus subscriber, you can access FFV if you download it free from Plus. As always, and with all free content in Plus, once your sub is runs out, you can not access that content. But if you renew, you’ll be able to access it once again should your sub lapse.
