Typically when you think of February, your mind goes to chocolates, flowers, and other lovey-dovey things. So we thought we’d celebrate this sappy month by scaring the bejesus out of you with Outlast on PS4.
We also have some great single-player PS3 experiences, including Metro: Last Light, a first-person shooter with an interesting take on morality, and Remember Me, a third-person action adventure where you’ll take down an evil corporation by beating lots of people up with your own unique combos and messing with people’s memories. If you have a significant other, you might be able to rope him or her into some bank-robbing action with Payday 2 on PS3. After all, everyone likes stealing stuff. I mean, uh… nevermind.
Finally, two PS Vita titles are joining the Instant Game Collection: Street Fighter X Tekken and ModNation Racers: Road Trip. Both include functionality with their respective PS3 versions. Fight against your friends in Street Fighter X Tekken no matter what platform they have, or download your previously made PS3 creations and use them in ModNation Racers: Road Trip.

It is the year 2034. Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within. Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour…

Oh, to add to the IGC wish list:
Hitman HD Collection.
(Absolution SUCKS.)
OMFG….. seriously!?!?!?! 6 frickin awesome titles that I’ll play for free!?!? PS+ is like Christmas every month!!!!
Now, this is one of those weird cases when i’m actually going to take the benefit of the IGC, specifically, Remember me, I was checking it long time ago but never got convinced due reviews not so good.
So, thank you.
For those interested in Metro, really, if it’s not included, buy the ranger mode (I hope you find it on sale), the hardcore mode is what will make enjoy the game really more.
Thanks for the tip GoldenShaka ^
This month is best described as heavenly
cant wait to scare the crap outa myself on my big screen in the dark!!! with surround sound and no one home……..ok maybe not a good idea but I still cant wait to play OUTLAST on ps4
You’re welcome Viewtiful_Gene.
Another tip for Metro, when you start the last chapter (the game will clearly tell you that you’re there) make a backup of your save-data and if it’s possible Reset the game.
The issue is: the game sometimes frozen at the end.
I beat the game 3 times, i had no problem in my first playtrough but the ps3 got frozen in the other two (luckily the trophies popped-up). Some people say that the problem came with the patches, I really never verify it. Mainly because i bought the season pass, so i didn’t want to install and uninstall the content continuously
Well, there are my two cents.
Woo-hoo! I’ve been wanting to get both Metro and Payday 2 for a while now.
Can’t believe you guys can back up January Epicitry.
Hope there a JRPG along the corner next month.
I’m glad not to here people’s pathic whining about nothing for me this month I own all the games. So stop buy them & let your Plus membership work for your. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. But on a another note this lineup is manifique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One question!
Do I have to play the first Metro to play Last Light?
Yes Payday 2 Sweet
I haven’t played the first Metro (pc game) so Idk, but i didn’t feel myself like the story was not complete. I think that they explain what you need to know.
My birthday is coming up next month and I’m super excited for this February’s lineup. Especially since I’ve never played these titles.
Thanks PS Plus!
Awesome.
And thank you GoldenShaka!
Another great month. Looking forward to Outlast and Metro: Last Light. Thanks Sony.
Well, what did you know? I asked for games that EU got that we don’t and we got two of them for February! Better late than never! Even though I already own Street Fighter x Tekken, I feel that the Vita version is more superior than the PS3 due to it having all the DLC characters. Looking forward to playing the others games too!
Who knows? Maybe it’s possible we can get Assassin’s Creed III in the next month or two.
:D :D
No prob, night night.
Assassin’s Creed III? please no. Don’t you get tired of playing crappy games over and over again? It has been the same since the first one.
Instead of wasting the slot for a big sh***y game, they could add one or two actually good and enjoyble games.
Lots of good games I’ve been meaning to try. Now I just need to get a PS4.
WOW!! Very happy with what you are giving us now that there are more subscribers, thanks for making my ps3 feel supported even though the PS4 is out. (have a ps4 also).
Oh baby Outlast looks crazy!! sweet.
Man, what a great update for all platforms! The PS4 getting what looks to be a great survival horror game is a great way to kick off the month, PS3 owners getting Metro along with some of EU’s line up is awesome and you guys even picked two great Vita games for the month (even though January was weak for the Vita IGC, the sales as always was just too good; Killzone for 9 bucks and much of the FF series on sale, to good man :)).
What a great update and I can’t wait to play Metro, SFxTK, and Remember Me next month; great job to everyone at NA+ :).
Why is the PS4 latest firmware not posted at the bottom of the blog like the PS3,psp, and Vita ones are?
would be helpful to have it for people upgrading their HDDs
Absolutely awesome!!!!!
My PS3 is happy, my PS4 is happy, and now, for the first time since I bought Killzone Mercs, my PS Vita is happy!!
And I’m happy, happy, happy!!!
Now, if you’d only announce 64GB &/or 128GB Vita memory cards coming out over here, then I could have all my games on my Vita at once… and an empty wallet!!! :)
I can’t believe..Plus is just getting better and better every month…its like you guys are reading my mind…cuz you always give games I don’t have and that I wanna try but I dont wanna pay for lol (Remember Me)…this is incredible…I don’t have a single game there.The only letdown is Metro…now don’t get me wrong…I ain’t saying its a bad game…but its because I want the physical copy of that amazing game.
FANTASTIC MONTH!!!!
Thank you so much Sony.
Oh and Kristine…nice voice girl.
One of the best updates I have seen since being a member, I have none of these games and want to play all of them, like the idea on remember me, last time I played Modnation racers was on my psp, can’t wait to see it on my Vita!!
All racers then Smart As, now another racer…Vita.
Been a loyal PS+ for years…. not a single minute of regret
@Viewtiful_Gene Please, people like me play it for the story. What is wrong with Assassin’s Creed III anyway? Sure the first one is repetitive, but II and Brotherhood are great despite Brotherhood is being too similar to the second with only a few changes. Haven’t got around playing Revelations yet. By the time I do finish it, AC3 will be offered. Anyone can dream, right?
If not that game, then Far Cry 3 or Mass Effect 3 then. Any of those are fine as long as we start to get games that EU got.
I wonder when is War thunder coming to PS4 (NA)?, EU have it for some months now.
Awesome update his coming month I have not played any of these. Looking forward to trying these out.
While I can objectively see the very high quality in this line-up, not really too keen on most of it myself.
Not a fan of horror games, so Outlast isn’t really my thing. I may try it out just to see if I actually pee myself though, haha.
I already platted Remember Me, and really enjoyed it.
Payday 2: Too many other shooters to play already, and I’ve heard these games can be painful to play with randoms.
Metro- LL: Might try this out. Looks kinda like a Fallout game, but more shooter-ey and less RPG-ey.
And neither of the Vita entries interest me at all. Another kart racer and another fighter. Meh… Good games in their own rights, sure, but completely uninteresting to me.
On the bright side, this means my personal backlog won’ t be increasing all that much, as I still haven’t even touched DmC or Bioshock: Infinite yet. And I’ve got The Lego Movie Game and Thief both coming out next month, so February is already gonna be super busy.
Thanks for the video, Kristine! Awesome job again this month. And keep up the amazing work, PS+ team! Your efforts are appreciated!
so when are these games available in the ps store?
Thanks for Metro Last Light!
Amazing month! Street fighter X Tekken doesn’t appeal to me on vita but Modnation racers is awesome thanks :)
This is one hell of a month Sony! Way to show us love! <3
If only ModNation had gotten an online patch.
Oh and… I think if you’re going to offer up horror games, then you need to not do so when you only have one game that month on the platform.
I nearly fainted, this really entice me much to buy a PS3 noooooooooooooooo.
Because i need all my cents for ps4 but the ps3 games you have been giving me is too godly.
another note, I am relief you dont give us Dinasty Warrior ’cause I have that already.
Street Fighter I had one in the past but I’ve traded it, so it’s good to see I’ll have this game again in February.
ModNation, I have none so it’s a new game for me
Feedback on the video editing…
Don’t put the title and PS+ disclaimer ON the Vita screen… it’s too small. If I didn’t know what Street Fighter x Tekken was, there was no way I could read that title due to the text they in logo and the size it was.
Just put it in the same places you do the PS3 and PS4 games. You can still see the Vita and the game just fine with them there.
What an amazing lineup!! just finished bioshock infinite… DmC and brothers in the to do list an the list keeps growing this month
I’m so glad I own all three consoles! Now I just have to figure out which game I’m going to play first! Gamer problems…
This absolutely makes up for the weaker months we’ve had here in the US. Seriously, thank you. For the first time in awhile, I’m looking forward to the entirety of the month for PS3.
not gonna lie, this turned me on a little bit. i just got a one-year subscription.
Amazing!!! Street x Tekken yay
Amazing list lineup, although not so anticipated for Payday however! Not my type of game, but Remember Me and Metro have been on my list for a while.
Wow thank you Sony!!
