Sony has officially revealed the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup for February 2026, and gamers worldwide are buzzing with excitement. Starting February 3, 2026, subscribers will gain access to four distinct titles, each offering unique gameplay experiences across different genres. From boxing simulators to underwater survival adventures, this month’s collection promises something for everyone.

Undisputed: The Main Event

The headline attraction for February is Undisputed, a boxing simulator that landed on PS5 with promises of authentic ring action. The game features over 70 licensed boxers and a cinematic combat system designed to make every punch feel impactful.

However, honesty is important here. When Undisputed launched in October 2024, it received mixed reviews. The game holds a “mixed” rating on Steam and scored 73 on Opencritic. Players reported issues with hit detection and online stability, and developers focused more on DLC content than fixing these problems. Still, as a free addition to your PS Plus library, it’s worth trying.

Subnautica: Below Zero – Icy Depths Await

For survival game enthusiasts, Subnautica: Below Zero delivers an exceptional underwater exploration experience. This prequel-sequel sends you to the frozen waters of planet 4546B, where strange and dangerous creatures await discovery.

The storyline revolves around searching for your sister, but the real star is the atmosphere. You’ll need to:

  • Build underwater bases
  • Gather essential resources
  • Craft survival equipment
  • Battle the freezing temperatures

Released in 2021, the game earned 83 points on Opencritic, making it a solid choice for survival game fans.

Ultros: Psychedelic Combat Meets Gardening

Ultros presents an unusual combination that shouldn’t work but somehow does. This PS5/PS4 title features stunning visual art from El Huervo, the iconic artist behind Hotline Miami’s aesthetic.

The gameplay alternates between brutal melee combat against cosmic creatures and peaceful gardening moments within a mysterious Sarcophagus. Each cultivated flower unlocks new paths and abilities, creating a branching skill tree. With 79 points on Opencritic and positive reviews across platforms, this psychedelic adventure guarantees a memorable experience.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – Take Flight

Rounding out the quartet is Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, a tactical flight simulator featuring intense aerial combat. Players become ace pilots defending the skies with authentic modern and futuristic aircraft loaded with advanced weaponry. This PS4 title (compatible with PS5) delivers thrilling dogfights and daring maneuvers through the clouds.

Important Dates and Details

All four games become available for download on February 3, 2026 and remain in the lineup until March 2, 2026. Remember to claim January’s games before February 2, including Need for Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper.

Sony reminds subscribers that up to 25% discounts are available on 12-month PS Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions for eligible users.

February’s PlayStation Plus Essential lineup offers significantly more variety than January. Whether you’re interested in boxing simulators, survival games, psychedelic adventures, or aviation action, this collection delivers value for subscribers.
