This month’s choices will probably be obtainable to obtain and play from February third. Bear in mind so as to add them to your library, after which you’ll play them at any time as long as you’ve got an energetic subscription.
Earlier than we delve in, bear in mind how final month was imagined to the top of free PS4 video games? Sony introduced that, again initially of 2025, saying they’d cease providing PS4 within the month-to-month freebie choice in January of 2026. Properly, we’re formally into February, and there’s a PS4 recreation on this month’s lineup. Sony has not addressed this in any respect. My guess is there are nonetheless much more folks on PS4 than they want.
The primary recreation on provide this month is Undisputed (PS5), a boxing sim that launched in October, 2024. Opinions on the time have been blended, and other people’s reception was roughly the identical. It holds a “blended” score on Steam lately and a 73 on Opencritic. Criticisms on the time have been awful punch monitoring and on-line issues, and other people acquired more and more irritated when the builders launched DLC quite than fixing these issues. Looking the Steam critiques, it looks like these issues nonetheless aren’t mounted.
“Turn out to be Undisputed and rule the ring in essentially the most genuine boxing recreation so far! That includes true to life visuals, bone-jarring motion, and 70+ licensed fighters, Undisputed offers you unprecedented management to grasp each inch of the ring,” says the blurb because it shadows containers a wall. “50 Attributes & Traits to distinguish kinds and capabilities of fighters. Play by means of the epic journey from beginner boxing tournaments, all the best way to changing into Undisputed Champion, within the true-to-life Profession Mode. Create your personal fighter with Character Creator, customizing every thing from construct, to tattoos, to shorts and gloves.”
Subnautica: Under Zero (PS5, PS4) is up subsequent, as soon as once more tasking you with swimming round in an ocean filled with big issues that don’t like your face. Or your limbs. Launched in 2021, this survival recreation holds an 83 on Opencritic and is well-liked on Steam.
“Submerge your self in an all-new, sub-zero expedition in an arctic area of Planet 4546B. Arriving with little greater than your wits and a few survival tools, you got down to examine what occurred to your sister. Under Zero presents completely new environments so that you can survive, research, and discover. Survive the tough local weather by developing in depth habitats, scavenging for sources, and crafting tools. Hold your wits about you: not all creatures on this unusual world are pleasant.”
Ultros (PS5, PS4) is up subsequent and boasts an superior neon-filled artstyle that makes me surprise if somebody slipped mushrooms into my cup of tea. Gameplay mixes fight and moments of gardening, in order that’s a enjoyable combine. A 79 on Opencritic and good person critiques on each Steam and the PS Retailer make me hopeful that this one is price testing.
“Grounded in science fiction, Ultros comes wrapped in each an eccentric artwork model from the visionary El Huervo, famend for his work on Hotline Miami, and a mystical soundtrack composed and carried out by Ratvader – Oscar Rydelius. Expertise brutal, intimate, close-quarter fight with cosmic lifeforms. But this intense fight is juxtaposed with cultivating the greenery and tending to vegetation in The Sarcophagus, offering valuable moments of contemplation and peace. In flip, this grants deeper entry to obscured paths. A novel loop-based mechanic will let you begin over at key moments within the story, offering alternatives to unfold such secrets and techniques, unlock completely different areas of the world and new skills on a branching talent tree.”
Ace Fight 7: Skies Unknown (PS4) soars in because the final recreation on the listing for this month. There’s an excellent probability you’ve already performed this one, contemplating it has bought over 7 million copies, but when not the mix of drama and badass dogfighting ought to promote you on the concept fairly rapidly.
“Strap your self into the cockpit of a number of the world’s most formidable fighter planes and skim by means of the clouds partaking in daring aerial stunts and nerve-shredding tactical dogfights. In Ace Fight 7: Skies Unknown, you tackle the function of an Ace – an elite fighter pilot tasked with patrolling essentially the most open and intimidating area on Earth: the sky. Select from an array of genuine fashionable and futuristic plane and cargo them up with an arsenal of cutting-edge tremendous weapons as unfolding occasions drive you into ever extra harmful aerial face-offs. “
Personally, Ultros has my consideration for this month. I skipped it when it launched however at all times meant to return again to it. That psychedelic artwork model appears to be like superior!
