While subscribers still have some time before they learn what the PS Plus Extra and Premium Games for March 2024 are, the Essential Tier games will be added soon. It's an exciting collection representing some of the best of four key genres: roguelikes, Formula One racing games, "horror" puzzle games, and looter shooters. The PS Plus free games for March 2024, in that order, are Sifu, EA Sports F1 23, Hello Neighbor 2, and Destiny 2's Witch Queen expansion.

Notably, this is one more game than what PS Plus subscribers get at the Essential Tier than normal. That may be because March tends to be one of the service's bigger months, or it could be for any other unknown reason tied to the service or these four games. Nonetheless, for those curious but unsure, here's what they need to know about March games, which can be claimed between March 5 and April 2.

The PS Plus Extra and Premium Games for February 2024 Are a Completionist's Dream

The PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games for February 2024 both put quality and quantity at the forefront of their selections.

PS Plus - Sifu

Read Game ZXC's Sifu Review

Sifu has a pretty straight forward martial art plot: players take on the role of a Kung Fu master as they seek revenge (or justice) for their father's death. What makes Sifu special is its roguelike structure accompanying its beat 'em up gameplay. Every time the player dies, they age several years. Aging increases damage output, but decreases overall health. At a certain age, death becomes permanent, encouraging players to replay, learn, and master each level to keep themselves as young as possible. The opponents in the game can be incredibly punishing, requiring players to master all of its gameplay elements from the basics and the structure gauge to parries and use of the environment. It's a simple game, but it's engaging, fun, challenging, and a great headlining game for PS Plus, standing its own alongside goliaths like Destiny 2.

PS Plus - EA Sports F1 23

Redefining Formula One Games

Codemasters is a studio known for its racing simulation games, as opposed to more racing arcade games, with its F1 series holding the official Formula One and Formula 2 licenses. F1 23 was billed as a fresh start for the franchise, though it brings back several key features from past games. It joins PS Plus after not being out for even a year yet, which some may take as a bad sign, but it's not. The game has received generally favorable reviews and is a solid entry in the franchise and the genre as a whole. Features include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Story Mode: Braking Point 2
  • Overhauled driving physics
  • Options for a 35% race distance
  • Red Flags
  • Overhauled UI
  • F1 World Game Mode, including ranked, esports, offline, and online game modes.
    • Brings back the Podium Pass

PS Plus - Hello Neighbor 2

Questionable Ethics and Suspicious Houses

This "horror" action-adventure puzzle games takes players back to the town of Raven Brooks, but instead of playing as Nicky Roth, players take on the role of Quentin. As a journalist, Quentin is investigating the events of the first Hello Neighbor game. Players will sneak into crime scenes, into people's houses, and otherwise look high and low for clues and evidence. Just like the first game, Hello Neighbor 2 features a large open-world sandbox where multiple houses, AI-driven NPCs, and more stand between players and the infamous creepy neighbor. Overall, it's recommended that players check out the first game, but those who have before are not going to be disappointed with this sequel.

PS Plus - Destiny 2: The Witch Queen

Taking the Fight to Savathun

This PS Plus addition is obviously an expansion to Destiny 2, meaning players will need to have the core experience downloaded as well. Like past expansions, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen introduces new content, new missions, new locations, new gear, a raid, and much more. Story-wise, players learn more about the Darkness as they engage Savathun, the titular queen and sister of Oryx. Returning players may want to check out this content and perhaps the next expansion, Lightfall, although it was received less favorably. Everything right now is building to the release of Destiny 2's Final Shape expansion, so it's a pretty good time to get caught up.

PS Plus subscribers get a handful of games every month.
