Sony Unveils PlayStation Plus Free Games For February

As the calendar flips to February 2026, Sony has officially lifted the curtain on a fresh batch of PlayStation Plus monthly games, sending a wave of excitement—and a little nostalgia—through the gaming community. Starting Tuesday, February 3, 2026, PlayStation Plus subscribers across all tiers (Essential, Extra, and Premium) can add four new titles to their digital libraries, free of charge, until Monday, March 2, 2026. This month’s lineup is a diverse mix of high-flying aerial combat, deep-sea survival, cosmic exploration, and hard-hitting boxing—offering something for nearly every type of gamer.

Headlining the February selection is Undisputed, the first major licensed boxing game to hit consoles in over a decade. According to IGN, this 2024 release is a worthy spiritual successor to EA’s long-dormant Fight Night series, boasting more than 70 real-life boxers, including legends like Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Tyson Fury, Canelo Alvarez, and Oleksandr Usyk. Players can either step into the ring with these icons or create their own custom fighter, climbing from rookie underdog to world champion in Career Mode. The developer, Steel City Interactive, has focused on authenticity, giving fighters 50 unique attributes and traits, and offering a robust multiplayer mode for those who want to test their skills against others online.

But Undisputed isn’t just about the roster; it’s about the details. As reported by Essential Japan, the game delivers true-to-life visuals and bone-jarring action, with player-controlled customization down to build, tattoos, shorts, and gloves. The game’s inclusion marks a significant shift for the PlayStation Plus service, which, according to a PlayStation spokesperson cited by NationalWorld, is now evolving to focus more on PlayStation 5 titles, reflecting the growing number of gamers who have moved to the new console generation.

For those who prefer the thrill of aerial dogfights, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown swoops in for PlayStation 4 players. Released in 2019, this entry in the long-running flight action series puts gamers in the cockpit of modern and futuristic fighter jets. As described by IGN, the game is "a great-looking arcade flight combat game... weighed down by its weird and convoluted but persistent story and poor communication of objectives," ultimately earning a respectable 7/10 in their review. Players take on the role of an elite pilot, engaging in daring maneuvers and intense tactical battles, and utilizing an arsenal of cutting-edge super weapons as they’re thrust into increasingly perilous scenarios. For fans eagerly awaiting the next installment, Yahoo News notes that Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is just around the corner, making this the perfect opportunity to revisit—or discover—the series.

Switching gears from the skies to the icy depths, Subnautica: Below Zero is available for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. This open-world survival adventure transports players to the arctic region of alien planet 4546B, where they must investigate the disappearance of their sister while contending with a hostile, sub-zero environment. As Gamespot explains, survival is no small feat: players are tasked with building habitats, scavenging for resources, crafting essential equipment, and managing a body temperature meter to avoid freezing to death. The game’s unique blend of exploration and survival, coupled with the ever-present threat of aggressive indigenous creatures, has earned it high praise. IGN awarded Subnautica: Below Zero a 9/10, calling it “another big, frosty bite of one of the best open world survival games to come along since the genre's inception.”

For those drawn to the strange and surreal, ULTROS rounds out the lineup as a visually arresting action-adventure available on both PlayStation 4 and 5. The game comes from El Huervo, the visionary artist behind Hotline Miami, and features a mystical soundtrack composed by Oscar Rydelius (aka Ratvader). ULTROS is described by Eurogamer as a “wonderfully trippy, time-looping sci-fi Metroidvania,” blending brutal close-quarters combat against cosmic lifeforms with the meditative task of cultivating plant life inside a mysterious setting known as The Sarcophagus. The game’s loop-based mechanic encourages players to restart at key story moments, unlocking secrets and new areas while progressing along a branching skill tree. Its eccentric neon palette and innovative gameplay have already piqued the curiosity of many in the gaming community.

All four titles will be available for PlayStation Plus subscribers to claim starting February 3, 2026. Once added, they’ll remain accessible as long as the player’s subscription stays active. As always, Sony reminds players to claim January’s offerings—Need For Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper—before they leave the service on February 2, 2026. With the shift toward more PlayStation 5 titles in the monthly lineup, Sony appears to be signaling its commitment to supporting the new hardware and its growing user base, a move echoed by recent statements from company spokespeople.

The inclusion of Undisputed as the headline game was actually leaked ahead of the official announcement, thanks to the reliable tipster BillBil-Kun, as reported by NationalWorld. This early reveal generated a buzz, especially among boxing fans eager for a new contender in a genre that’s been largely dormant for years. The game’s arrival as part of PlayStation Plus is seen by many as a strategic move, both to spotlight the franchise and to draw in players who might have missed its initial release.

Meanwhile, the other three titles ensure that February’s selection isn’t just for fans of the sweet science. Subnautica: Below Zero offers a chilly, atmospheric survival experience with a compelling narrative hook, while Ace Combat 7 delivers high-octane aerial action. ULTROS brings something truly different to the table, blending genres and aesthetics in a way that’s both challenging and mesmerizing. As Essential Japan notes, “Gameplay combines brutal, intimate, close-quarter combat against cosmic lifeforms with the tranquil task of cultivating plant life in a setting called The Sarcophagus.”

For PlayStation Plus subscribers, February 2026 is shaping up to be a memorable month. Whether you’re itching for a fight, craving exploration, or just looking to try something new, this quartet of games promises hours of entertainment and a few surprises along the way. But don’t dawdle—these titles are only available for a limited time, and with the ever-evolving PlayStation Plus service, who knows what next month will bring?

With such a varied and appealing lineup, Sony’s latest PlayStation Plus offering is sure to keep controllers charged and players engaged well into the new year.
