February is upon us and you know what that means! Yup, it’s time for another round of free games for every PlayStation Plus member to scoop up! This month’s offerings will be available to download and play from February 3rd. Remember to add them to your library, after which you can play them at any time so long as you have an active subscription.

Before we delve in, remember how last month was supposed to the end of free PS4 games? Sony announced that, back at the beginning of 2025, saying they would stop offering PS4 in the monthly freebie selection in January of 2026. Well, we’re officially into February, and there’s a PS4 game in this month’s lineup. Sony has not addressed this at all. My guess is there are still a lot more people on PS4 than they would like.

The main game on offer this month is Undisputed (PS5), a boxing sim that released in October, 2024. Reviews at the time were mixed, and people’s reception was roughly the same. It holds a “mixed” rating on Steam these days and a 73 on Opencritic. Criticisms at the time were lousy punch tracking and online problems, and people got increasingly annoyed when the developers released DLC rather than fixing these problems. Browsing the Steam reviews, it seems like these problems still aren’t fixed.

“Become Undisputed and rule the ring in the most authentic boxing game to date! Featuring true to life visuals, bone-jarring action, and 70+ licensed fighters, Undisputed gives you unprecedented control to master every inch of the ring,” says the blurb as it shadows boxes a wall. “50 Attributes & Traits to differentiate styles and capabilities of fighters. Play through the epic journey from amateur boxing tournaments, all the way to becoming Undisputed Champion, in the true-to-life Career Mode. Create your own fighter with Character Creator, customizing everything from build, to tattoos, to shorts and gloves.”

Subnautica: Below Zero (PS5, PS4) is up next, once again tasking you with swimming around in an ocean full of giant things that don’t like your face. Or your limbs. Released in 2021, this survival game holds an 83 on Opencritic and is well-liked on Steam.

“Submerge yourself in an all-new, sub-zero expedition in an arctic region of Planet 4546B. Arriving with little more than your wits and some survival equipment, you set out to investigate what happened to your sister. Below Zero presents entirely new environments for you to survive, study, and explore. Survive the harsh climate by constructing extensive habitats, scavenging for resources, and crafting equipment. Keep your wits about you: not all creatures in this strange world are friendly.”

Ultros (PS5, PS4) is up next and boasts an awesome neon-filled artstyle that makes me wonder if someone slipped mushrooms into my cup of tea. Gameplay mixes combat and moments of gardening, so that’s a fun mix. A 79 on Opencritic and good user reviews on both Steam and the PS Store make me hopeful that this one is worth checking out.

“Grounded in science fiction, Ultros comes wrapped in both an eccentric art style from the visionary El Huervo, renowned for his work on Hotline Miami, and a mystical soundtrack composed and performed by Ratvader – Oscar Rydelius. Experience brutal, intimate, close-quarter combat with cosmic lifeforms. Yet this intense combat is juxtaposed with cultivating the greenery and tending to plant life in The Sarcophagus, providing precious moments of contemplation and peace. In turn, this grants deeper access to obscured paths. A unique loop-based mechanic will allow you to start over at key moments in the story, providing opportunities to unfold such secrets, unlock different areas of the world and new abilities on a branching skill tree.”

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4) soars in as the last game on the list for this month. There’s a good chance you’ve already played this one, considering it has sold over 7 million copies, but if not the blend of drama and badass dogfighting should sell you on the idea pretty quickly.

“Strap yourself into the cockpit of some of the world’s most formidable fighter planes and skim through the clouds engaging in daring aerial stunts and nerve-shredding tactical dogfights. In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, you take on the role of an Ace – an elite fighter pilot tasked with patrolling the most open and intimidating space on Earth: the sky. Choose from an array of authentic modern and futuristic aircraft and load them up with an arsenal of cutting-edge super weapons as unfolding events drive you into ever more dangerous aerial face-offs. “

Personally, Ultros has my attention for this month. I skipped it when it released but always meant to come back to it. That psychedelic art style looks awesome!
