PlayStation Plus: Free PS4 and PS5 Games We May Get for February 2021
Next month is right around the corner, and next week Sony will announce February's free [...]
Horizon Zero Dawn + Expansion
Reason: Next month, Horizon Zero Dawn will celebrate its four-year anniversary. Meanwhile, later this year, its sequel, Horzion Forbidden West, will release via the PS4 and PS5. It's the perfect time to make not just Horizon Zero Dawn free, but its expansion, The Frozen Wilds, free. Not only is the game and its expansion several years old, but it's published by Sony. This means not only has Sony squeezed most of the profit from it, but it won't cost Sony a dime to add it. The cherry on top? It's a big and popular game that will keep subscribers happy, which is ultimately the goal here.
About: "In an era where Machines roam the land and mankind is no longer the dominant species, a young hunter named Aloy embarks on a journey to discover her destiny. In a lush, post-apocalyptic world where nature has reclaimed the ruins of a forgotten civilization, pockets of humanity live on in primitive hunter-gatherer tribes. Their dominion over the new wilderness has been usurped by the Machines – fearsome mechanical creatures of unknown origin."
prevnextLittle Nightmares
Reason: Next month, Little Nightmares 2 will release, and right now, it's one of the more notable releases of the month. If there was ever a time to offer its predecessor, Little Nightmares, next month would be the time to do it. Not only is there considerable anticipation for the sequel in the hardcore space, but the first is widely held as one of 2017's better games. We've seen the service do this in the past; offer a game's predecessor right before it releases, and it would make sense for it to repeat this tactic again next month with Little Nightmares. Not only is it a smaller game that won't break the bank, but Bandai Namco would presumably be more than willing to cut a deal for a huge boost in marketing for the sequel.
About: "Immerse yourself in Little Nightmares, a dark whimsical tale that will confront you with your childhood fears! Help Six escape The Maw – a vast, mysterious vessel inhabited by corrupted souls looking for their next meal."
