PlayStation Plus is trending on Google across India today because Sony has officially announced the free games lineup for February 2026. Indian gamers are excited (and discussing) the new list because it includes four games instead of the usual three.
If you have a PlayStation Plus subscription (Essential, Extra, or Deluxe), you will get access to these games starting next week. This article covers everything you need to know about the new games, the dates, and why some fans are debating Sony’s latest move.
What Are the Free Games for February 2026?
Sony has revealed four new titles that subscribers can add to their library for free. These games will be available for download starting Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
1. Undisputed (PS5)
This is the headline game for the month. Undisputed is a realistic boxing game that features over 70 licensed fighters, including legends like Muhammad Ali and modern champions like Canelo Álvarez. It is a big deal because it is one of the first major boxing video games in over a decade.
- Why play it: If you miss the old Fight Night games, this is the closest modern experience with realistic graphics and deep fighting mechanics.
2. Subnautica: Below Zero (PS4, PS5)
This is a survival adventure game set on an alien planet. You play as a scientist exploring a freezing underwater world. You must survive harsh weather, build habitats, and craft tools while uncovering a mystery about a missing sister.
- Why play it: It is a standalone sequel to the famous game Subnautica. It is famous for its beautiful but dangerous open world.
3. Ultros (PS4, PS5)
Ultros is a psychedelic sci-fi game in the “Metroidvania” style (exploration and action). You are stranded on a giant spaceship called The Sarcophagus. The game features bright, colorful art and a time-loop mechanic where you have to restart but keep your knowledge to solve puzzles.
- Why play it: It is visually stunning and great for players who like artistic indie games with tough combat.
4. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4)
This is an action-packed flight simulation game. You pilot realistic fighter jets in intense aerial dogfights. It features a dramatic story mode and fast-paced missions.
- Why play it: It is one of the best flight combat games available, offering a mix of realistic graphics and arcade-style fun.
Why Is There a Controversy?
Even though the lineup is strong, there is a small controversy trending on social media.
Recently, Sony mentioned they would focus more on PS5-specific titles for PlayStation Plus. However, Ace Combat 7 is a PS4 title (though it plays perfectly on PS5). Some fans feel this goes against Sony’s promise to prioritize next-gen games. However, most Indian gamers are happy because they are getting four games this month instead of the standard three.
