PlayStation Plus Games March 2026: PGA Tour 2K25 Becomes the Main Attention

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - The gaming community is currently working on the official list of free games coming to PlayStation Plus Essential for March 2026.

While Sony typically announces these titles towards the end of the previous month, the March 2026 schedule is expected to be slightly earlier than usual.

The projected PlayStation Plus Essential monthly game announcement will take place on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at approximately 5:30 PM local time.

This is due to the fewer days in February 2026, which is why the announcement schedule has been delayed.

These new games will then be officially available for download on the first Tuesday of March, March 3, 2026.

Amidst this anticipation, various predictions and hopes have emerged from subscribers such as PGA Tour 2K25, a popular golf simulation game that will be a major draw for sports and simulation game fans.

The official PlayStation Plus Games announcement is expected to take place on February 25, 2026.

This schedule shift happens because February 2026 only has 28 days, which automatically determines the announcement date.

This way, subscribers won't have to wait until the end of the month to find out which games they'll receive.

After the announcement, the new games will be available for download starting March 3, 2026, which is the first Tuesday of the month.

Games from the previous month, such as Undisputed, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Ultros, and Subnautica: Below Zero, will remain available until the new games' release dates in early March.

While there has been no official confirmation from Sony, speculation regarding the PlayStation Plus Essential game for March 2026 has been a hot topic among the community.

One of the most prominent names is PGA Tour 2K25.

This golf simulation game was released in February 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, making it a reasonable candidate for PS Plus approximately a year after its launch.

The PlayStation Plus community has also expressed their hopes for an emotional mystery adventure game.

Titles like Life is Strange: Double Exposure have been frequently mentioned, especially after the past few months have been dominated by action-oriented games.

Several popular titles also being predicted to be available soon, such as Atomic Heart, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Hogwarts Legacy, Hades, EA FC26, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Deathloop, Mortal Kombat One, Prince of Persia, Street Fighter 6, and Alan Wake 2.

Game selection for PlayStation Plus is influenced by several factors that have been in place for years.

Sony often includes AAA titles from both PlayStation Studios and third-party studios.

Additionally, games slated for major sequels are released on PS Plus earlier, as a strategy to build hype and attract new players to the franchise.

Large-budget games that don't reach their initial sales targets also sometimes appear on PS Plus later.

This allows publishers to generate additional revenue through in-game microtransactions.

Furthermore, highly anticipated popular indie games often become part of the PS Plus offering, usually a year or two after their initial launch.

Starting in January 2026, Sony will no longer guarantee PS4 titles as part of the monthly PlayStation Plus lineup.

This change could make predictions more difficult, but also more interesting, with the potential focus on two blockbuster PS5 titles rather than a cross-generational selection.
