Four games.
Four completely different vibes.
And depending on who you are, this might be one of those “wait… this is actually a great month” situations.
Let’s talk about it.
PGA Tour 2K25 (PS5)
And yeah… sports games hitting PS Plus a year later is basically tradition at this point. We all saw it coming.
But here’s the thing.
If you skipped it last year?
This is the perfect time to jump in.
2K25 isn’t just “another yearly golf game.” The swing feels tighter. The presentation actually looks next-gen. Courses pop in a way that older entries didn’t.
And if you’re competitive? Online ranked golf gets weirdly intense. Quietly intense. The kind where you’re mad over a 6-foot putt at 11:30 p.m.
Also: golf games hit different when they’re free.
Monster Hunter Rise (PS5, PS4)
If you’ve never dipped into Monster Hunter because it looked overwhelming… this is your moment.
Rise is fast. Flashy. Way more approachable than the older “figure it out yourself” era of the series.
You’re basically:
• Crafting ridiculous armor
• Swinging weapons the size of sedans
• Rolling away from creatures that could swallow a Honda Civic
It’s chaotic in the best way.
And if you play with friends? Say goodbye to your weekend.
Slime Rancher 2 (PS5)
And honestly? I love it.
You’ve got hyper-competitive golf.
You’ve got monster-slaying chaos.
And then Sony goes, “Here. Have adorable bouncing slime creatures.”
Slime Rancher 2 is that chill, put-a-podcast-on, decompress-after-work game.
Bright colors.
Soft music.
You vacuum up cute little chaos blobs and build a farm empire.
It’s comfort gaming. And sometimes that’s exactly what the lineup needs.
The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road (PS5, PS4)
Because this isn’t just “try an MMO.”
This is:
“Here’s basically all of Tamriel. Good luck.”
The Gold Road Collection gives access to the major Chapter zones across the map. That’s a ridiculous amount of content.
You can:
• Solo quest
• Join massive battles
• Roleplay your heart out
• Or disappear for 200 hours and forget what sunlight looks like
Just know the 2025 Content Pass isn’t included — so this isn’t absolutely everything. But it’s a massive entry point.
If you’ve ever said, “I’ll try ESO someday,” that someday is March.
Quietly… This Is A Smart Month
Think about the spread:
• Sports sim
• Hardcore action RPG
• Cozy farming sim
• Massive MMO
That’s range.
This isn’t one of those months where everything feels like it’s for the same exact player. There’s something here no matter what mood you’re in.
And that’s kind of rare.
Don’t Forget February Is Leaving
Before you get distracted, remember:
You’ve got until March 2 to add last month’s games to your library:
• Undisputed
• Subnautica: Below Zero
• Ultros
• Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Even if you don’t plan to play them right now, claim them. Future you will be grateful.
