From Sloclap, creators of acclaimed PS4 fighting game Absolver, Sifu follows a young kung fu student on a path of revenge, hunting for the murderers of his family.  One against all, he has no allies and countless enemies.

Create custom weaponry with unique mod, shader, and stat combinations. Master the new Glaive weapon type and unleash powerful melee combos, projectile attacks, and a deployable energy shield.

The Finals S.O Sleek Bundle, exclusive to PlayStation Plus members

PlayStation Plus members can access a unique cosmetic bundle in The Finals, includes two different sets of military themed outfits and weapon skins:

•  2 Epic Outfits
•  12 Epic Weapon skins

You’ll be able to find and download this bundle in addition to the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games line up on PlayStation Store. Download The Finals from PlayStation Store to access. Once downloaded, the bundle’s contents will be available in-game immediately, regardless of whether you’re a new or returning player.  

Last chance to download February’s Monthly Games

Foamstars, Rollerdrome and Steelrising are available to add to PlayStation Plus members’ game library until Monday, March 4. 

*PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup may differ in certain regions. Please check the PlayStation Store on launch day for your region’s lineup. 

**Destiny 2 is required to play Destiny 2: Witch Queen. Destiny 2 is available for download at no extra cost on PlayStation Store.

In a post on the official PlayStation Blog, the monthly PlayStation Plus games for March have been revealed. Headlining the additions is developer Slowcap's stylish and gritty beat-em-up Sifu. For racing fans, EA Sports F1 23 is one of the other games being added in March. Hello Neighbor 2 and Destiny 2: Witch Queen are the other two titles joining the lineup. All four games are are being added for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

A good month because of Sifu alone

If you haven't had the opportunity to play Sifu, this is your chance. Our very own Eric "Queen's Blood Master" Van Allen gave it a solid 9/10 when it was released two years ago, praising Slowcap's ability to tread the line between challenge and reward. According to Eric, "Sifu is a challenge worth taking on and overcoming. It’s a story of vengeance with a little heart at the end, and though it might not land perfectly, it’s got a lot of style and action to back it up."

As for EA Sports F1 23, I'll admit I'm not a racing game fan myself. But just yesterday EA confirmed F1 24 will launch in May, so it makes sense to see this last year's release joining PS+. According to the PlayStation Blog, F1 23 features a new "Braking Point" story mode with high-speed drama and heated rivalries in the realistic racing simulator.

Next up is developer Eerie Guest and tinyBuild's sequel to the hit stealth-centric title Hello Neighbor. In Hello Neighbor 2, players must investigate the seemingly quiet town of Raven Brooks to uncover the dark secrets of their neighbors and solve the case of Mr. Peterson, the infamous antagonist from the first game.

Rounding out the new additions for March is Destiny 2: Witch Queen. The Witch Queen is the Year 5 major expansion for Destiny 2 that released in 2022. The standalone expansion does not require any dependencies on previous DLC, and you only need to have the original Destiny 2 which is available free of cost to all PlayStation Plus members.

All four games above will join the PlayStation Plus lineup on March 5, and be available through April 1.

Sony has announced its PlayStation Plus games for March.

As previously reported, Sloclap's third-person brawler Sifu will be arriving on the service next month. It will be available on both PlayStation 4 and PS5. Joining it are three other games - or rather, two others plus the Destiny 2: Witch Queen expansion (for which you'll need Destiny 2 in your library to play).

In today's Daily Fix: PlayStation Plus games for March have been revealed, and leading the charge is the excellent Destiny 2 expansion, The Witch Queen. Also on the list is the action game Sifu, and if you love kung-fu movies, you'll like that game. You also get Hello Neighbor 2, EA Sports F1 23, a bunch of cosmetics for The Finals, and more! In other news, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is out now in Japan, but if you bought the physical edition you might have a confusing time installing the game. That's because the 'play' and 'install' discs are labeled wrong. Whoops. And finally, Skull & Bones is apparently doing well according to Ubisoft, who are reporting "record player engagement." But we don't have any sales data for the game yet, so it could be like 20 people playing that game all day.
