Sony has officially confirmed the PlayStation Plus free games in March 2023, including a diverse selection of different genres, along with PlayStation Extra and Premium titles.
Every month, Sony offers free PS Plus games as a perk to new and existing subscribers. These free games often delight some and disappoint others, depending on your preferences. However, the free games eventually offer something for everyone to get excited about.
To take advantage of the free PlayStation Plus games each month, you’ll need to have an active subscription to the service with Essentials being the most basic package.
Unfortunately, last month’s announcement came with the news that on May 9, 2023, subscribers will no longer have access to PS5’s PS Plus Collection which offered up great PS4 titles like God of War, Persona 5, and The Last of Us. As such, players should make sure to add these games to their library before May 2023 rolls around. That aside, here are the games available for the PS Plus Essential tier in February 2023.

PS Plus games for March 2023
The PlayStation’s State of Play on February 23, 2023, revealed the three games included in the March 2023 lineup of free PS Plus Essentials games:
- Battlefield 2042 (PS4, PS5)
- Minecraft Dungeons (PS4)
- Code Vein (PS4)
March 2023 offers up a fairly diverse selection of games for PS Plus Essential subscribers, though only one of those titles includes the PS5 version.
The multiplayer first-person shooter Battlefield 2042, originally released in 2021, will be available for both PS4 and PS5.
Additionally, multiplayer fans can also sink their teeth into the dungeon crawler Minecraft Dungeons through either local or online co-op modes. Finally, fans of Souls-like games can download Code Vein, an action role-playing game inspired by Dark Souls developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
