The PlayStation Plus monthly games lineup for February includes co-op shooter Payday 3, action-adventure FPS High on Life, and platformer Pac-Man World Re-Pac, Sony announced Wednesday. All three games will be available to PS Plus subscribers starting February 4. Sony also announced it would stop offering PS4 titles as a key benefit to PS Plus members from 2026, shifting its focus to native PS5 games.

This month's free titles, revealed on the PlayStation Blog Wednesday, will be available till March 3. PS Plus members across Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/ Premium tiers can add the games to their libraries and enjoy continued access beyond March 3 with an active subscription.

A reminder — users have until February 3 to add the PS Plus monthly games from January to their libraries. These include Suicide Squad, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.

Let's take a closer look at the three games joining PS Plus in February:

Payday 3 brings back the familiar co-op heists formula from Payday and Payday 2, with the crew from the first game — “Dallas”, “Chains”, “Wolf”, and “Hoxton” — returning to action. Set in New York, the game attempts to add a bit more complexity to the heists themselves.

There are eight main heists in Payday 3, while three heists from the second game return as side hustles in a remastered format. These can be played solo or in up to four-player co-op. Payday 3 will be available on PS5.

Released in 2022, High on Life tasks the players with preventing a cartel invasion on Earth.
