New Games Coming to PS Plus in February 2026


Essential Tier


Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Developer Name: Bandai Namco Studios
Platforms: PS4 (Playable on PS5 via backward compatibility)
Added on: February 3, 2026
Genre: Flight Combat / Action


Ace Combat 7 is one of those games that instantly makes you feel powerful the moment you take off. The dogfights are intense, fast, and sometimes overwhelming in the best way possible. I personally loved how cinematic each mission feels — clouds, lightning, missiles flying everywhere. It’s not just about shooting enemies; it’s about timing, control, and staying calm under pressure.

Subnautica: Below Zero

Developer Name: Unknown Worlds Entertainment
Platforms: PS4, PS5
Added on: February 3, 2026 (PS Plus Essential)
Genre: Survival / Adventure


Subnautica: Below Zero gave me that quiet but constant feeling of danger while exploring its icy ocean world. The underwater sections are beautiful, but you always feel like something bigger is watching you. I really enjoyed building small bases and slowly upgrading my gear just to survive a little longer. It’s peaceful at times, but the tension never truly goes away — and that’s what makes it special.

Ultros

Developer Name: Hadoque
Platforms: PS4, PS5
Added on: February 3, 2026
Genre: Metroidvania / Action-Adventure


Ultros instantly caught my attention because of its bright, almost psychedelic art style. The world feels strange and alive, and every area hides something unexpected. I liked how the combat feels sharp but not overwhelming, and the loop mechanic makes you rethink how you explore. It’s one of those games where you slowly understand its systems, and that discovery feels really satisfying.

Undisputed

Developer Name: Steel City Interactive
Platforms: PS5
Added on: February 3, 2026
Genre: Sports / Boxing Simulation


Undisputed feels serious and technical right from the first match. It’s not a button-mashing boxing game — you actually need timing, footwork, and patience to win. I personally liked how every punch feels heavy and realistic, especially when you land a clean counter. If you enjoy sports games that reward skill and strategy, this one really stands out.

Extra Tier


Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Developer Name: Insomniac Games
Platforms: PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: Action / Open-World / Superhero


Swinging across NYC rooftops as Peter or Miles hits that pure adrenaline rush, web-slinging into crowds of goons and venom blasts. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 feels bigger and more emotional compared to the previous games. Switching between Peter and Miles keeps the gameplay fresh, and the web-swinging still feels incredibly smooth. I honestly never get tired of just moving around the city — it’s that satisfying. The story hits hard at times, especially with the darker tone, and it really feels like a true PS5 blockbuster experience.

Echoes of the End: Enhanced Edition

Developer Name: Myrkur Games
Platforms: PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: Action / Adventure


Echoes of the End: Enhanced Edition feels very cinematic, almost like playing through a fantasy movie. The world design is beautiful, and the character-driven story keeps you interested. I personally enjoyed the slower exploration moments just as much as the action sequences. It’s not only about combat — it’s about atmosphere, emotion, and discovering a carefully built world.

Monster Hunter Stories

Developer Name: Capcom
Platforms: PS4
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: RPG / Turn-Based


Monster Hunter Stories feels very different from the main Monster Hunter games, and that’s what I liked about it. Instead of fast action combat, you build bonds with monsters and fight in turn-based battles. I enjoyed collecting and hatching new Monsties — it gives a Pokémon-style vibe but with Monster Hunter flavor. It’s lighter, colorful, and surprisingly relaxing compared to the main series.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Developer Name: Capcom
Platforms: PS4
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: RPG / Turn-Based


Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin feels bigger and more polished than the first game. The world is more detailed, and the story has stronger emotional moments. I really liked building a team of Monsties and planning battles carefully instead of just rushing in. It keeps that colorful charm, but the adventure feels more serious and memorable this time.

Neva

Developer Name: Nomada Studio
Platforms: PS4, PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: Action-Adventure / Platformer


Neva feels quiet, emotional, and very personal from the very beginning. The art style is beautiful, and the bond between the main character and the wolf companion slowly grows on you. I found myself playing it more for the atmosphere and feelings than for the challenge. It’s one of those games that stays in your mind even after you stop playing.

Rugby 25

Developer Name: Big Ant Studios
Platforms: PS4, PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: Sports / Rugby Simulation


Rugby 25 feels grounded and tactical compared to other sports games. It’s not just about running forward — positioning and timing really matter here. I liked how each match demands patience and proper strategy rather than fast button presses. If you enjoy realistic sports simulations and team management depth, this one offers a solid rugby experience.

Season: A Letter to the Future

Developer Name: Scavengers Studio
Platforms: PS4, PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: Adventure / Exploration


Season: A Letter to the Future feels calm, reflective, and deeply personal. You travel through a beautiful world on a bicycle, recording memories before everything changes. I really enjoyed slowing down, taking photos, and listening to small conversations — it almost feels meditative. It’s not about action, but about capturing moments and appreciating quiet storytelling.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown

Developer Name: KT Racing
Platforms: PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: Racing / Open-World


Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown feels more like a lifestyle racing game than just a track racer. Driving around the open map gives a relaxed but competitive vibe at the same time. I personally enjoyed cruising freely and then jumping into serious races when I felt ready. It mixes luxury cars, social competition, and exploration in a way that feels different from typical racing titles.

Venba

Developer Name: Visai Games
Platforms: PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026
Genre: Narrative / Cooking


Venba feels warm and personal from the very start. Cooking each dish is simple, but the emotions behind the story really stay with you. I honestly didn’t expect a short cooking game to feel this meaningful. It’s less about challenge and more about family, culture, and those small everyday moments that matter.

Premium Tier


Disney Pixar Wall-E

Developer Name: Heavy Iron Studios, THQ, Helixe, Savage Entertainment, Asobo Studio
Platforms: PS4, PS5
Added on: February 17, 2026 (PS Plus Premium – Classics)
Genre: Action / Platformer

Disney Pixar Wall-E feels simple and nostalgic in a very comforting way. Playing as Wall-E, cleaning up Earth and solving small puzzles, gives a calm and charming vibe. I liked how the game captures the movie’s quiet emotional moments without rushing the experience. It’s easy to pick up, relaxing to play, and perfect if you enjoy classic-style platform adventures.
