PlayStation Plus members are anxiously anticipating the announcement of March 2025's free games, as speculation ramps up around the titles Sony might include to improve upon February's offerings. The expectation is set for an official reveal on February 26 at 4:30 pm GMT, with new downloadable titles available starting March 4.
With February's lineup, headlined by the much-criticized Payday 3, not receiving stellar reviews, many gamers are crossing their fingers for a stronger selection this time around. Discussions on gaming forums, particularly within Reddit's prediction threads, show subscribers are hopeful about the upcoming lineup.
Among the most discussed titles are EA-published games. Gamers seem particularly enthusiastic about the possibility of EA UFC 5, EA Sports FC 25, and F1 24 making their debuts on PlayStation Plus. "Many subscribers expect solid titles, including EA UFC 5, EA Sports FC 25, and F1 24," reported by ABP Live, reflecting the game's popularity and anticipated playability among fans.
Another title garnering attention is Hi-Fi Rush, developed by Bethesda and Microsoft, which has piqued the interest of rhythm-action game enthusiasts. Recently, the cyberpunk-themed adventure game Stray has also been brought up, alongside the upcoming title Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, rumored to leave Xbox Game Pass before transitioning to PlayStation Plus.
Fans are also keeping their fingers crossed for Hogwarts Legacy. Despite its success and high sales figures since launch, it has been experiencing substantial discounts lately, leading many to speculate about its potential inclusion on PS Plus. "Despite its massive sales, Hogwarts Legacy could be included due to many discounts," reported by Express.
Also mentioned are titles such as Assassin's Creed Mirage, Robocop: Rogue City, and games like LEGO Bricktales, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, and Resident Evil Village. While Hogwarts Legacy seems likely, the timing of Assassin's Creed Mirage could be contentious, as its release date is close to the scheduled first appearance of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
The gossip doesn’t stop there, as additional fan-favorite predictions like Call of Duty: Vanguard, NBA 2K25, Mortal Kombat 1, and Gran Turismo 7 are also circulating. Even major first-party PlayStation titles are being tossed around, such as The Last of Us Part II and Marvel's Spider-Man.
Interestingly, predictions for the upcoming release include some more ambitious or less likely titles like Star Wars Outlaws, Dragon Age: Veilguard, and Elden Ring, which may generate excitement but feel less probable.
Historically, the PlayStation Plus lineup has featured strong titles during this period. Looking back at March 2024, for example, players received Sifu, F1 23, and Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, indicating Sony's pattern of rolling out popular games.
Alongside all these predictions, the PS Plus Essential lineup from February is still available until the new games arrive. This includes Payday 3, High on Life, and Pac-Man World: Re-Pac, which members can continue to download until March 4.
With the reveal approaching, one can only hope the upcoming titles can help restore the faith of Essential subscribers who have felt let down by earlier months. The announcement is not just about what games will be available; it's about redeeming the PS Plus reputation, so the anticipation is palpable among the community.
Set your reminders because the PS Plus Essential March 2025 reveal time is firmly set for February 26 at 4:30 pm GMT, giving fans just enough time to speculate, predict, and hope for the best when the new lineup is finally announced!
