Another collection of excellent games joins PlayStation Plus this month, and you’ve come to the right place for details!
Starting things off on PS4 is Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee — New ‘n’ Tasty! This side-scrolling adventure reboots the PlayStation classic with new visuals, new sound, enhanced controls, and even more dark humor than before. Also coming to the PS4 lineup is Valiant Hearts: The Great War. This colorful puzzle game carries with it a heavy subject matter, as it follows four intersecting lives (and a loyal canine companion) during the first World War.
On PS3, gamers with PS Plus can download the critically-acclaimed Papo & Yo, alongside the wit-inducing Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. And on PS Vita, watch out for OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood and CounterSpy.
These games will be available for Plus members when PlayStation Store updates later today.

It’s the return of a PlayStation classic! Join Abe in this rebooted platformer that has enhanced visuals, sound, and controls. Help him free his people from a dastardly meat processing facility, and see why gamers fell in love with good ol’ Abe in the first place!
Valiant Hearts: The Great War (PS4)

The story of intersecting lives that suffer under the impossible duress of the first World War. Inspired by actual WWI tokens from the friends and family of the development team, this game may be colorful, but tells a dark and devastating story. Bring a box of tissues!
Papo & Yo (PS3)
Free for PS Plus Members
Papo & Yo is the story of a young boy, Quico, and his best friend, Monster. Monster is a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth, but that doesn’t scare Quico away from playing with him. Build your friendship with Monster by solving puzzles together and adventuring through a magical, surrealist world.
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments (PS3)
Free for PS Plus Members
You are the legendary detective. Use your powers of wit and deduction to piece together several grisly cases and pass judgement on the accused. Will you live up to the legacy embodied in the name “Holmes?”

Grind, kick, jump, and trick your way to a high score in the “skate-em-up” sequel to OlliOlli. Players can push their skills to the limit with a refined combo system, new modes, and more. Don’t fall!
CounterSpy (PS Vita | PS4 | PS3)

Inspired by the Cold War, this stylish adventure tasks you with keeping the world’s superpowers in balance, all while blending covert operations and high-intensity gunplay into a colorful pastiche of gaming subterfuge.

Pretty great lineup there. Too bad I’ve already bought Papo & Yo, and rented/platinumed Sherlock for PS3/PS4 (cross-sharing trophies) within 2 days though.
Sorry, boring games as usual! Too many 2D games every month, how about putting some REAL games for free? This games are here because nobody bought them!
Has anyone even heard of these games?
Aw this month sucks! The games are finally a great selection but I already own them so technically I get nothing this month…. :(
Great selection of games!
I’m still working on Rogue Legacy, slow down!
Awesome month, im not disapointed!
Was hoping for Bound by Flame. One of the few PS4 games I don’t already own.
I’m really looking forward to olliolli2 and counterspy, thank you.
Sony and Playstation Family , keep up the good work . It’s really a shame to see so many complaints . But do not be discouraged congratulations to all those involved who have brought us this line-up .
I loved OlliOlli 2 and Papo & Yo added to the list .
What is everyone talking about long wait? Doesn’t plus always update the first week of March? Really great stuff been wanting to play Oddworld!
looking at the list again the delay maybe had to do with the complaints last month about Thief and Sony tried to get Sherlock Holems and Valiant Hearts on IGC for all the systems availabele and not just what we got.
not saying for sure that is what happened
I always wanted to play Valiant Hearts. Counterspy and Olli Olli 2 look interesting. This is my second month as a Plus member. It has been very Indie so far but honestly I enjoyed Transistor so much I can’t really complain.
Excited about the PS4 selection. It’s too bad that Crime and Punishment isn’t CrossBuy though.
The Vita selection doesn’t interest me much this month, but I know a few people who will be excited for ollie ollie 2
Awesome line up – glad more people get to play Valiant Hearts!
Thanks Sony!! :D
thank you sony for all free games but i wanna know when ill have my 15$ ? I buy 150$ in your promotion and i dont see my 15$ in my wallet
OlliOlli2 for FREE? Woot! You just made my day!
Great month all around. I’ve been interested in Valiant Hearts and Counterspy for awhile now.
Ollie and that’s it the rest don’t interest me
Meh. Can’t really have any strong opinions on anything since I haven’t heard anything negative about these. But I was REALLY excited for Blazblue like Japan got, being a fighting game fanatic and all. Is there any chance for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round for PS4 in the next few months (I understand this may be difficult, as its a new game and all).
Yes, thank you. This is one of those months that where I am interested in playing every game listed. Nice lineup :)
Best line-up I’ve seen for Playstation Plus, thanks for another great update!
Thanks! Glad you dig it
