Each month, Sony updates its PlayStation Plus Essential line-up with 3-4 titles which subscribers can claim and keep forever as long as they have an active membership. Arriving in March, all PS Plus users can look forward to claiming a variety of titles, including Monster Hunter Rise, indie hit Slime Rancher 2 and PGA Tour 2K25.
Making the announcement via the PSBlog, March’s PlayStation Plus Essential line-up includes 4 titles in total – all of which will be available to claim from the 3rd:
- PGA Tour 2K25 [PS5]
- Monster Hunter Rise [PS4 | PS5]
- Slime Rancher 2 [PS5]
- The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road [PS4 | PS5]
As expected, March’s PS Plus offerings are rather varied in nature, and so depending on the type of games you prefer, the headliner for the month could be any of these 4 titles.
PGA Tour 2K25 is the latest entry in 2K’s long-running golf series. While certainly not for everyone, those who enjoy the sport have deemed 2K25 to be a strong entry in the franchise.
Monster Hunter Rise on the other hand needs no introduction, with the highly-popular title having sold over 18 million copies; currently sitting as publisher Capcom’s 2nd best-selling game of all time. If you haven’t played a Monster Hunter game before, Rise is a solid place to start thanks to its refined combat and movement mechanics alongside its greater focus on battling monsters.
Slime Rancher 2 meanwhile is a sequel to the hit farming sim, in which you discover, raise and take care of a variety of different slimes – this time on the brand new Rainbow Island. If you enjoyed the first game then you’ll love its sequel.
Last but not least, The Elder Scrolls Online: Golden Road Collection includes pretty much all of the previous content released for the MMO over the past decade…everything except the 2025 content pass that is. Still, if you have yet to try out ESO, the Golden Road Collection nets you access to countless hours worth of gaming.
As mentioned, all 4 titles will be available to claim and download from the 3rd of March. This means that you have a little under a week to add February’s games to your library before they are removed – the details of which can be found HERE.
