PS Plus Extra, Premium's Big 17 PS5, PS4 Game Refresh Available Now

Quality wherever you look

by Liam Croft Tue 21st Feb 2023

Today's the day for what is arguably PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium's biggest and best monthly game refresh as 17 quality titles are now available to download. The lineup is spread across 14 PS5, PS4 games and three PS1 Classics, ensuring there's something for everyone during the month of February 2023. In case you need a reminder of what's now available, the full lineup is as follows:

PS Plus Extra: February 2023

Horizon Forbidden West (PS5, PS4)
The Quarry (PS5, PS4)
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS4)
Outriders (PS5, PS4)
Scarlet Nexus (PS5, PS4)
Borderlands 3 (PS5, PS4)
Tekken 7 (PS4)
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4)
Earth Defense Force 5 (PS4)
Oninaki (PS4)
Lost Sphear (PS4)
I Am Setsuna (PS4)
The Forgotten City (PS5, PS4)

PS Plus Premium: February 2023

All 17 games are up for download now in the UK and across Europe, with availability rolling out across the USA later in the day. The lineups for both tiers have gone down a treat; 60 per cent of you voted in a Push Square Poll over the weekend saying you're "very happy" with what's on offer. PS5, PS4 exclusive is what most of you are playing first. The results for PS Plus Premium weren't quite as overwhelmingly positive, but The Legend of Dragoon was the obvious choice when it came to picking the game you're most excited about.

What game will you be downloading and trying first? Let us know in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

The Legend of Dragoon. 😌
I went straight to the store and bought it as soon as I saw this article.
It gives me hope that we'll see the likes of Vagrant Story at some point.

Ace Combat 7 in there too. I've been wanting to try that since it came out. I'm not sure when I'll have time for it, but at least it's there.

For the first time with one of these updates, there's so much good stuff I really don't know what I'm going to play first. 'Spoilt for choice' has never been so apt.

edit It's going to be Ace Combat 7, just because I've nearly bought it so many times over the years.

Can the PS1 titles be purchased on their own or are they exclusive to the higher tier?

@JohnSmitheroo I've been buying the ones I want all along anyway -
The Syphon Filter games as they were releasing over the past few months and Legend of Dragoon this morning.
I already had Resident Evil: Directors Cut purchased from the PS3 era so they just added that back to my account when it released on PS5.

@JohnSmitheroo They can be purchased on their own. PushSquare just released an article about it.

Scarlet nexus is good, and I played outriders demo and the game story and gameplay is actually quite interesting. Ps plus extra this month is actually pretty good.

This is probably the first really good month since the service launched.

Lots to try here.

Can't wait to play Forbidden West. I absolutely loved the first one but I can never bring myself to justify spending £60+ on a game at launch (although I'll break that rule for FF7 Rebirth ) so I was waiting for a cheaper option.

Does anyone have any idea how long these will be available for? I don't really want to stop playing what I'm playing right now to start FW.

@JohnSmitheroo if you already had them purchased as PSOne Classics on previous consoles they're "free" to download. I don't think you can purchase them outside of a PS3 any more though.

I know this to be the case for Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus

@icecube No one knows. I have the feeling PlayStation exclusives won't be deleted since they're not/less dependent of contracts with third parties, but I'm not sure if this is true.

Don’t sleep on Outriders people! The story is utter drivel but the gameplay loop is satisfying and incredibly fun to play. It’s the best looter shooter out there.

Does anyone know if Tekkken 7 is the bare bones version?
Having to buy all the add-ons if wanting a more complete edition?

Checking out Scarlet Nexus today. Tried the demo first incase I didn't like it but it was a fun play.

I own some of the good ones here already but looking forward to the Quarry as I loved Until Dawn enough to play through twice.

As a recommendation to everyone who hasn't had the pleasure - The Forgotten City might be the best game I played last year and it's relatively short.

@Darude84 we are talking about the same Sony, right? The one that already put their exclusive on a subscription service and then pulled it? I would not be sure about Sony's exclusives persisting on psXtra... they don't have a clear statement about the subscription destiny of their exclusives like XBOX has.
