March 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games have been announced

Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially confirmed the PlayStation Plus Essential games for March 2023.

March’s PlayStation Plus Essential titles are:

• Battlefield 2042 (PS5 / PS4)
• Minecraft Dungeons (PS4)
• Code Vein (PS4)

Subscribers will be able to claim the games from March 7 until April 3.

February 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are still available to claim until March 6.

This month’s games are OlliOlli World (PS5 / PS4), Mafia Definitive Edition (PS4), Evil Dead: The Game (PS5 / PS4) and Destiny 2: Beyond Light (PS5 / PS4 DLC).

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

Players can continue to play these games even after they’re no longer available to claim at the end of the monthly period as long as they continue to subscribe to PlayStation Plus Essential (or a higher tier).

Once their membership ends, they’ll no longer be able to play these games unless they resubscribe.
