Hi everyone! March is here, and that means it’s time for our annual Spring Fever promotion with discounts for PlayStation Plus members on hot new digital-only games each week. This year, Spring Fever is going to last eight weeks – that’s twice as long as last year – with new PS4 games launching each week.
Over the next two months, we’re shining a light on some of the most unique titles coming to PS4 from incredibly talented developers and discounting their games for PS Plus members during each game’s launch week. This year’s lineup features PlayStation console-exclusive titles, as well as classic franchises making their debut on PS4. And if you haven’t made the jump to PS4 yet, don’t fret – a number of these games are also launching on PS3 and/or PS Vita as well.
Spring Fever kicks off next Tuesday, March 3rd with the launch of Helldivers from Arrowhead Game Studios. It’s a hardcore twin stick shooter perfect for four-player co-op madness. PS Plus members can pick up Helldivers next week at a sweet 10 percent discount. Here’s the full Spring Fever lineup:

Axiom Verge, Titan Souls and Shovel Knight! Hotline Miami for pc though but still!
I´m getting most of those games. Helldivers looks awesome so it´ll be a great start.
This is so fricking awesome!
Thanks
Forgot about Helldivers!
Glad you guys at least have the sales mentioned ahead of time. Probably get whatever Lego games are on sale. Also Batman as I hope the season pass for Batman Arkham Origins is on sale.
Super pumped about nearly every game on this list :D
I wish there was an incentive for purchasing multiple games (other than the fact that they’re going to be super fun to play). In the past there have been offers like buy 4 get $10 back.
Still excited about the promo and I’ll be picking up most of these games. Titan Souls, Hotline Miami 2 and Axiom Verge for sure.
These are actually not great deals. $1.50 off metal slug. Seriously what is wrong with ps strore and being so stingy with the sales. On steam I have half of these games for like $20 dollars total.
Shut up and take my money!
Awesome sale idea now lets dive deeper. This would’ve went great with a spend x get y deal. Even better how abot x games for y dollars uping the discoint as we pre order indie titles
No offense to the indie developers out there, but what the hell are you all thinking with these prices?! I think you all need to take a step back, swallow your pride and accept the fact that your game probably isn’t worth the asking price. I miss the days of $10 new. Some of these games (Bastion) have been out for everything EXCEPT PlayStation for a while now.
Wow. I am so glad I just dropped a 2TB drive in my PS4. After downloading all my digital games and installing all my disc games, I still have 1.2TB of free space. Made it this far on just 500GB. Hopefully it’ll be at least another two years before I have to start deleting stuff.
Where in the name of ALL that is HOLY is TESLAGRAD???!?!?!?!?!?
This would be great…if I still owned a Super Nintendo…
10% off does nothing at all to motivate me to buy a game.
It doesn’t even get me to look into a game.
I want Papers, Please!
Jinkies, Helldivers is twenty bucks? That’s a lil’ pricey for digital.
Sony, have you no standards? These are games my cell phone could play. Why would I want to fork out $10-$20 for such archaic 2D games? I did not buy a PS4 to play these kinds of games… You lost touch with reality!
Bummed that GALAK-Z isn’t on here. Man I need that in my life.
But yeah I’m buying all of these!
really looking forward to this
probably picking up everything for my Vita
PLEASE LET THERE BE A CASHBACK :D
I bet half the games they announce won’t even really go on sale.
Will all of the games on the sale week be on PS4? Or is it just the games from that franchise that have come out on Next Gen?
Not seeing anything about Ultra Street Fighter IV kinda makes me nervous. People will want to play that sooner than later to get used to PS4 version for EVO. Hurry up Sony!
What about N+++? Nothing was ever said about that game yet.
I know this may not be where to post this. But I’ve been with plus from the start and if this month is like the last…. I’m going to be done with ps plus. On . Ps3. You gave a game that looked nice but I deleted because of all the messed up audio that wasn’t fixed. My seven year old daughter even asked why the enemies couldn’t talk. I mean come on Sony
HELLDIVERS
-I’ll look into this a little more. :)
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
-First game wasn’t for me, expect more of the same.
Jamestown+
-Got it on Steam for like $1, and I’m done with the genre anyhow.
Metal Slug 3
-All MS games are the same. Fun for a few minutes, that’s it.
Axiom Verge
-Haven’t seen anything on this yet…
Bastion
-Been there, done that. Great game for those who missed it on other platforms, but I wouldn’t re-purchase for over $3.
Titan Souls
-No thanks
Shovel Knight
-Got it on Steam for $4 a few months back
Just a question… If Bastion is $5 on the iOS app store, why should we expect to pay $13-15 play it on PS4? Is there more content?
I would like to order the Vita combo, the one with Shovel Knight, Axiom Verge and Bastion, oh… and put some Helldivers cream on the Bastion please.
Game overload! I’ll have to wait until at least a couple are free on PS+ or I’ll be broke in no time flat!
Nothing to get excited over. A bunch of faux-retro nonsense and old games from the Steam bargain bin marked up for the PS4.
What do you fellow gamers think is the best in the Assassins creed series ??
8 weeks new ps4 games what about the vita
Where is the freakin Ps+ March Lineup??
I will buy: Hotline miami 2, axiom verge, bastion and shovel knight :)
wow! is there any spend X amount get Y amount back during the spring event?
What a joke lol omg people are actually excited for this drivel. Everyone go to Xbox One KILLER INSTINCT FORZA SUNSET OVERDRIVE your wasting your time on ps4
5 Vita titles? Fantastic, I’ve been dying to play Shovelknight, having passed up on it on the other platforms to play it on my vita/ps4 :)
To call these games new is a stretch only 4 of the 8 are new,
Bastion July 2011
Metal slug March 2000
Jamestown June 2011
Shovel Knight June 2014
not that these are not good indie games but they are not taking advatage of the amazing system power of the playstation 4 has.
I can play these games on my tablet is this the best you have to high light for the ps4 the next 2 months.
beware ps4 plus owners most of this games well appear free during the year buy at your own risk.
one off the many reasons i let my plus subscription expire.
fyi microsoft has lowered the price of live to $40.00 a year
No wonder PC gamers(master race) laughs at us(console peasants). So much fuss about an 8 week long 10% off sale.
What a joke Sony. Please go and look at the next steam sale for pointers, rather sell a few million copies of a game at 80% off than 1000 at 10%. here’s hoping for the next sale to be better.
I’m 100% buying 6 out of those 8 brilliant games right away!! You see people, this is what makes the PS Vita so great… to be able to play games like both Hotline Miami’s, Shovel Knight, Bastion and newer Indie games like Hell Divers all on an awesome portable system with a beautiful screen anywhere anytime is really something special, at least imo it is!
^^^^Continued^^^^
Yes I realize some of those games are older and have already been played on consoles, but to have them to take with you wherever you go is just the best!! With that said, it’s really too bad that I’m going to have to wait awhile to be able to play Bastion & Axiom Verge on my Vita. Because I’m choosing to only play these games on my Vita and not on my PS4 as I feel they pretty much all fit the Vita best. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining or whining… it’s just that I’ve been so hyped for so long, especially about Axiom Verge, that it’s going to take some real strength to hold off on firing up the game on my PS4. Plus, like another poster already talked about, sometimes the Vita versions of these games are forgotten about because they aren’t released along side their console counterparts. Hopefully that won’t happen with any of these awesome titles?!?!
Basically I’m simply hoping that the wait for those 2 games won’t be too long and that both devs keep up us all informed about how close they are to releasing the Vita versions. Other than though, this next month really is the best time to be a fan of Indie games… or as I like to call them, great video games.
*intensity intensifies.gif*
I don’t say this much around here, but a lot of those look pretty decent tbh. And Shovel Knight was awesome on the 3DS. I’d highly suggest picking that one up.
This will be awesome IF and only IF DLC’S are included in the sales! So many DLC packs are overpriced to the point of making me laugh out loud at how far over the price of the full game they are! (Mass Effect, Dragon’s Age, etc – add them up and the little bit of content is way more than you can buy the physical disc for the main game!)
i may buy ac unity in that ac sale if they price it fairly, considering all the bugs and problems with the game. but knowing ubisoft and sony i doubt it.
I saw something about a DLC “Rangers Pack” for HellDivers in PSN BLOG JP, if buy this game until 4/30 the DLC will be free! Someboby can confirm in PSN US?
People in 1994 must be really happy with these awesome games…
10% off? Those aren’t sales, they’re lies.
I need every one of these. 0.0
Whats our march line up looking like!!!!! We are dying to know
mmmmm…. why the lego games and the lego movies are not offered on the same week?
I’m looking forward for next tuesday for those lego games, I hope I can get lego the hobbit, and the harry potter ones on a good price!
Already broke me on the Vita Birthday sale, but I will probably throw my $15 credit at Helldivers.
Even knowing that after buying Killzone Mercenary full price, it went to $9 to Plus members several months later.
Going to hold out for the rest, although Firefly might have been picked, had they given a Plus discount, and Bastion looks pretty good.
