PlayStation fans slam upcoming free PS Plus games – here’s why

THE LINEUP for next month’s free PlayStation Plus games has been revealed — and members are not pleased.

PlayStation on Wednesday revealed its free game lineup for February, but loyalists are not entirely excited about them.

PlayStation Plus (or PS Plus) is a paid subscription service from Sony that gives members two free PlayStation games to download every month.

The February 2022 free games include UFC 4, Planet Coaster Console Edition, and Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventure.

The three games were announced on the PlayStation Blog, and PS Plus members have until February 28 to download them.

Still, gamers think that PlayStation could’ve chosen some better options.

For starters, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep is being offered as a standalone DLC, which many find disappointing.

A standalone DLC is when downloadable content is released as its own version of a game, but without the original game that birthed it.

Basically, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep is a sub-game that came from Borderlands 2 DLC, which was launched in 2013, so many users don’t view it as a ‘full’ game.

Members also had an issue with Planet Coaster being offered as a free ‘PS5 exclusive’ game when a version is already available for PlayStation 4.

The biggest turn-off for PlayStation Plus users, however, seems to be that the game lineup is lacking in comparison to Xbox’s Game Pass subscription, which is offering completely new games.

“Yet another shocker. Microsoft making huge plays and Sony responds with another trash PS Plus month. Can’t wait till my subscription runs out, definitely not renewing until they give us something decent,” one Twitter user wrote.

“Has any month been good this past year,” a second Twitter user retorted.

“You know [Xbox] Game Pass sounds really good about now,” a third user added.
