PS Now is looking like it will almost certainly be phased out in favour of a rebooted PS Plus subscription, but Sony’s going through the motions for existing members. And this month’s PS Now lineup is actually unprecedented: members are getting a brand new, previously unreleased title in the form of Shadow Warrior 3. That’ll be available to download and play through 4th July, 2022.
It’s joined by a trio of other titles: Crysis Remastered, Relicta, and Chicken Police: Paint It Red. We’re going to be brutally honest with you, readers: we’ve never heard of the latter so can’t add any additional insight beyond the blurb provided on the PS Blog. Relicta appears to be some kind of Portal-esque first-person puzzle game, while Chicken Police is a noir-inspired adventure experience.
You probably don’t need a detailed description of Crysis Remastered, though: it’s the re-release of Crytek’s seminal shooter, which actually looks and plays great on either the PS5 or PS4. All four games will be available to download and stream from 1st March, 2022, and it’s worth noting that all the games apart from Shadow Warrior 3 will be “permanent additions” – although, as noted recently, that doesn’t count for much these days, as Sony has been pulling PS Now releases without much notice of late.

I love that there adding indie games, but I just wish they would add better quality like ones like they do on Game Pass. I mean hell Relicta is on sale right now for 3.99. Lol
I always thought Chicken Police was like a ripoff Rocket Birds, so I'll give that one a try.
Edit: I watched the trailer, it's nothing like Rocket birds. Looks pretty good though.
Another great month.
Especially excited for Shadow Warrior
Much better than plus. Great month.
Chicken Police is awesome!! Don't let it pass you by!!
Ps now has been junk since they stopped doing ps3 games in favour of “big name titles”
@Robinsad yeah I only subscribed to ps now for the PS3 games crap that they've stopped adding them
Better than Gamepass for a change as well, I'm guessing hell has frozen over 😂
Really hope the rumours of this new service launching soon are true as there seems to be more games leaving than being added now. Really surprised they haven't got the majority of first party published games from the PS3 on there let alone most of the PS4 ones. It's like they don't want people using the service.
Hmmm... Think they should have included Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7.... Microsoft definitely would have
my guess both shadow warrior and crisis remastered only PS4 versions ?
Chicken Police? what's that? a bunch of Chickens in Police uniforms?
Ok that was lame but Idc 🤣
@DualWielding Seriously? 🤦🏼♂️ They're not at the point where they could do that yet. Not until the new combined service is running with a cost similar to the Gamepass tier with the new releases. Wake up...
@RubyCarbuncle it is a bunch of chickens doing police stuff in police uniforms
@DualWielding weirdly I noticed something with Gamepass. I was looking to start Skyrim and the version on Gamepass isn't the most recent one.
Also a lot of the first party games encourage additional purchases.
I love Gamepass. But it's not like every brilliant game comes to it and the ones that do need you to pony up for the full experience. After playing miles Morales and ghost of Tsushima everything on Gamepass is worse. So I don't mind paying for best in class experiences.
Fingers crossed when the big single player games come round Xbox can properly compete with Sony. Forza 5 and Ori are great though.
@reek Seriously? I'm really curious now 😅
@Kopite not with guardians of the galaxy coming to gp march 10th
@Martsmall yeah I've just seen on PX, great game highly recommended
Not really a FPS guy (although have been enjoying Cyberpunk to my surprise) so not overly interested in at least 3 of this months offerings. And the chicken game looks just like reading loads of text on a page so not bothered about that.
@Kopite oh yes I loved it ,won't b playing it again but glad it's out for those who haven't tried it ,if they enjoy it half as much as I did Thier in for a treat
@Ken_Kaniff yeah it's kind of a disappointment. I don't have time for a bunch of "okay" big games, and the indies that show up are either meh, old, or available for a very short time.
Shadow Warrior 3 isn't showing up on PS Now, same for everyone else?
