Need for Speed Unbound, Assassin's Creed Valhalla Headline PS Plus Game Catalogue for February

Sony announced February's slate of games coming to PlayStation Plus game catalogue for Extra and Deluxe/Premium tier members last week. This month's PS Plus offerings, announced on the PlayStation blog, are headlined by Need for Speed: Unbound, The Outer Worlds, Tales of Arise and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The full list of games arriving to the PS Plus game catalogue this month will be playable starting February 20. Sony had also announced February's three free games coming to PS Plus across all membership tiers late last month.

Need for Speed Unbound (Review), the latest game in the venerated NFS franchise, is the headline title from among this month's PS Plus game catalogue offerings. The Need for Speed series needs no introduction; every gamer has a favourite entry from the iconic racing franchise (mine is 2005's NFS: Most Wanted). Unbound, which came out in 2022, takes a more contemporary approach, delivering an art style that blends comic books, graffiti and cel-shaded visuals. The game focusses on the street-racing sub-culture and features extensive vehicle customisation options, a rags-to-riches story mode and an open world map based on Chicago. NFS Unbound will be available to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe tier subscribers on PS5.
