February’s PS Plus Game Catalog Features Need for Speed Unbound and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Last week, Sony unveiled the lineup of games slated to hit the PlayStation Plus game catalogue for Extra and Deluxe/Premium tier members in February. The roster, as detailed on the PlayStation blog, features some stellar titles including Need for Speed: Unbound, The Outer Worlds, Tales of Arise, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. These games are set to be playable starting February 20, offering an exciting array of experiences for players. Notably, Sony had previously announced three free games for PS Plus across all membership tiers at the end of last month.

Leading the pack is Need for Speed: Unbound, the latest installment in the esteemed NFS franchise. With its release in 2022, Unbound brings a fresh perspective to the series, blending comic book aesthetics, graffiti art, and cel-shaded visuals. The game delves deep into the world of street racing, offering extensive vehicle customization options, a captivating rags-to-riches narrative, and an expansive open-world map set in Chicago. Available exclusively to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe tier subscribers on PS5, Need for Speed: Unbound promises high-octane thrills and adrenaline-fueled action for racing enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition also arrives this month for PS5 owners. This 2023 remaster of the original game from 2019 brings updated visuals for new-gen consoles and a higher-level cap, among other features. The package includes the base game and all DLC content.

While the Spacer’s Choice Edition of the game offers a more complete package, the remaster has faced criticism over the way it updates the art style of the original game. Additionally, the visual upgrade also arrived with performance issues, which the developers have worked to fix over time. Whether you prefer the original visual aesthetics of The Outer Worlds or you like the updates that the remaster brings, the Obsidian RPG offers dozens of hours of questing and exploring.

Bandai Namco’s long-running Tales series is known for its fantasy storytelling, action combat and unique art style. The latest entry in the franchise, Tales of Arise, arrives as part of February’s game catalogue titles on PS4 and PS5. The game charts the journeys of dual protagonists from two different worlds of Dahna and Rena. The sprawling story is complemented by the deep and rewarding action combat system.

As mentioned before, these and other titles coming this month to PS Plus game catalogue will be available on PS4 and PS5 from February 20. The game catalogue is only accessible to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe tier subscribers and an active membership is required to play the games. Bear in mind that the titles arriving to game catalogue cannot be added to your game library and will not be playable once they depart the service.
