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

February’s first PlayStation Plus games have been released.

This month’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles are Foamstars (PS5, PS4), Rollerdrome (PS5, PS4) and Steelrising (PS5).

While it’s already available in some areas including Europe, Foamstars doesn’t launch in the US until 9am PT / 12pm ET.

PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim these games at no extra charge until March 4, 2024.

As part of this month’s update, Fall Guys is also introducing new costumes and cosmetics for PlayStation Plus members based on mascots including Ratchet and Clank, and Horizon’s Aloy.

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

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 is a library of hundreds of games from the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and PSP.
