Summary
- PS Plus offers players free games, discounts, and game tips accessible at any time with its subscription.
- A funny screenshot from a PS5 player showed a PS Plus reminder that took on a sinister tone due to cutting off the text.
- Monthly PS Plus games like Sifu and Hello Neighbor 2 are coming soon, but for many, the real value lies in the vast library of free PlayStation games.
A PlayStation 5 player shared a funny screenshot of the console's interface seemingly threatening them with a PS Plus reminder notification. It seemed like the typical reminder that their PS Plus subscription was almost up, but the way the text was cut off in the push notification gave it a whole new meaning.
PS Plus is a paid subscription service for PlayStation gamers, primarily offering online multiplayer play and free game downloads from both an evergreen library of PS5, PS4, and classic PS1 to PS3 titles, as well as a rotating monthly slate. The service also has other benefits, such as free two-hour trials of new major releases, discounts on the PlayStation Store, and tips and hints for certain games that are accessible anytime by hitting the PS button.
Best Free-To-Play Games On The PlayStation 5 (April 2025)
There are quite a few free-to-play PS5 games available, and here's a look at some of the absolute best.
A user named sernamesarehard69 shared a photo over on the PlayStation subreddit in which the PS Plus notification said "You've got until 5 March," and nothing more. The full text was likely that they had until that date to enjoy their PS Plus subscription unless they resubscribe to the service, but the unfortunate cutting of the text made it take a hilariously sinister and ominous tone. A fellow Redditor in the comments joked, "First the layoffs, now the slayoffs," referring to the recent mass downsizing around the gaming industry, especially the firings at Sony subsidiary Insomniac Games.
What's Free On PS Plus In March 2024
- Destiny 2: The Witch Queen
- EA Sports F1 23
- Hello Neighbor 2
- Sifu
Meanwhile, for those who are still subscribed to the service, the new PS Plus games coming in March 2024 will be live to download and play on Tuesday, March 5. The notable titles here are the highly acclaimed 2022 beat-em-up title Sifu and stealth horror game Hello Neighbor 2. Destiny 2 players who don't have The Witch Queen will be able to download it in March as well. Motorsport fans can also enjoy EA Sports F1 23, which got good reviews when it was released back in 2023.
While the monthly titles are nice to have, the real draw of a PS Plus subscription is the aforementioned vast library of free PlayStation games, which includes classics like Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, and much more. The rotating monthly games can be hit or miss, which is why the vault of classics is really what's worth the price of admission, especially for those who don't get to buy major releases at launch.
