What’s live right now (as of February 25, 2026)

PlayStation has rolled out February 2026’s PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for all tiers, with four titles you can add to your library until Monday, March 2, 2026: Undisputed (PS5), Subnautica: Below Zero (PS5, PS4), Ultros (PS5, PS4), and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4).

• Undisputed (PS5): A licensed boxing sim focused on timing, ring craft, and a large roster of fighters.
• Subnautica: Below Zero (PS5, PS4): A survival adventure in the icy waters of Planet 4546B.
• Ultros (PS5, PS4): A stylized sci‑fi metroidvania with a loop mechanic and horticulture twists.
• Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4): A cinematic modern‑jet dogfighting campaign with a suite of aircraft.

Tip: You must “Add to Library” by March 2 to keep playing these Monthly Games for as long as your PS Plus membership remains active. (playstation.com)

What’s rumored for March 2026

The official March 2026 Monthly Games announcement has not posted yet, but reliable leaker billbil‑kun (Dealabs) indicates PGA Tour 2K25 will headline the March lineup. The rumor points to availability beginning Tuesday, March 3, with redemption likely running into early April. Treat this as unconfirmed until PlayStation’s blog post drops. (psu.com)

When to expect confirmation: Sony typically reveals the next Monthly Games near the end of the preceding month; watch for the PlayStation Blog post around Wednesday, February 25–Friday, February 27 (U.S. time) and the titles going live on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. Historical cadence supports this window. (blog.playstation.com)

Extra and Premium: February 2026 Game Catalog highlights

If you subscribe to PS Plus Extra or Premium, February’s mid‑month Catalog refresh delivered several notable additions on Saturday, February 17, 2026, led by Marvel’s Spider‑Man 2 (PS5). Other headliners include Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown and Neva, with Disney Pixar’s Wall‑E joining Classics for Premium. (blog.playstation.com)

Remember: Game Catalog titles differ from Monthly Games. Catalog entries are available while they remain in the service; when a title leaves, access ends unless you buy it. Monthly Games, once claimed, remain playable for as long as your membership is active. (playstation.com)

Leaving soon: plan your backlog

Several Extra/Premium Game Catalog titles are scheduled to leave in March 2026. Currently listed among departures are:

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge (PS4, PS5)
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation Code Fairy (PS4, PS5)
• Cris Tales (PS4, PS5)
• R‑Type Final 3 Evolved (PS5) Check your console’s “Last chance to play” section for your region’s full list and exact dates. (psu.com)

Redeem-and-keep basics (and what changed in 2026)

• Monthly Games: Add to your library during the posting window to keep access while subscribed. If your membership lapses, access pauses and resumes when you re‑subscribe. (playstation.com)
• Catalog vs Monthly: Extra/Premium Catalog titles rotate; when they leave, you lose access even if downloaded. Monthly Games do not rotate out of your personal library after redemption, but still require an active membership. (playstation.com)
• Platform focus shift: Sony signaled that starting January 2026, PS Plus would prioritize PS5 titles in both Monthly Games and the Catalog, with PS4 games included only occasionally. Previously redeemed PS4 Monthly Games remain usable while you’re subscribed. (blog.playstation.com)

How to claim efficiently

• On console: From your PS5/PS4 home screen, open PlayStation Plus, select the Monthly Games card, choose a title, and Add to Library before March 2, 2026. (blog.playstation.com)
• On the web or PlayStation App: Search each title and Add to Library remotely if you’re away from your console, then download later. You’ll retain access as long as your membership is active. (playstation.com)
• Storage strategy: If you’re short on SSD space, claim now and download later; redemption is what matters for keeping access. (playstation.com)

What to play first (quick picks)

• Want a deep single‑player challenge? Try Subnautica: Below Zero for emergent survival storytelling and exploration. (blog.playstation.com)
• Prefer skill‑based competition? Undisputed’s licensed roster and timing‑centric mechanics make it a strong sports pick. (blog.playstation.com)
• Craving style and discovery? Ultros pairs sharp combat with a looping structure and striking art direction. (blog.playstation.com)
• Love aviation and set‑piece spectacle? Ace Combat 7 delivers cinematic jet combat and accessible flight action. (blog.playstation.com)
• Extra/Premium bonus: If you haven’t played Marvel’s Spider‑Man 2 yet, it’s now in the Catalog—ideal for a story‑rich blockbuster fix. (blog.playstation.com)
