PlayStation Plus confirms nine March games

By Ali Shutler•NME Music News

The Premium and Extra titles have been announced The post PlayStation Plus confirms nine March games appeared first on NME.

All the games coming to PlayStation Plus this March have been revealed – check out the full list below:

PlayStation Plus is Sony’s version of Xbox Game Pass and gives subscribers access to a library of games alongside a variety of online features using three different tiers. 

The Essential tier lets players access a select number of games that change every few weeks for £6.99 a month. Extra is available for £10.99 and gives subscribers access to Game Catalogue, a library of “hundreds of games from genre-defining blockbusters to innovative indies”. Premium adds more classic titles and game trials to the offering for £13.49 a month.

Earlier this month, PGA Tour 2K25, Monster Hunter Rise, Slime Rancher 2 and The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road were all added to the Essential tier and yesterday (March 11), Sony confirmed the Premium and Extra titles coming to PlayStation Plus.

“This month, purge Tyranid swarms in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, run the show on the gridiron in EA Sports Madden NFL 26, slip back into stylish heists with Persona 5 Royal or brave a nightmarish pilgrimage in Blasphemous 2,” wrote Sony in a blog post.

The games coming to PlayStation Plus’ Premium and Extra tier this March are:

  • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • EA Sports Madden NFL 26 (PS5) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • Persona 5 Royal (PS4, PS5) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • Persona 5 Royal – Ultimate Edition (PS4) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • Blasphemous 2 (PS4, PS5) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • Metal Eden (PS5) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • Lord Of The Ring: Return To Moria (PS5) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • Astroneer (PS5, PS4) – March 18 for Premium and Extra
  • Tekken Dark Resurrection (PS4, PS5) – March 18 for Premium

Despite six of the nine additions being available on PS4, last year Sony announced that PS Plus would be “shifting focus” to the PS5 in 2026. “PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered for PlayStation Plus Monthly Games and Game Catalog starting January 2026,” explained a statement.

According to reports, the PS6 is due to launch in 2027 alongside a handheld console to rival the Nintendo Switch 2. However, some experts have warned that the Grand Theft Auto 6 delay could push the next wave of consoles to 2028, while the scarcity of memory chips is also disrupting Sony’s plans for a new PlayStation. 

In other news, Microsoft has announced that a number of “iconic” games from the original Xbox and Xbox 360 will be returning later this year as part of Xbox’s 25th anniversary.
