The first free PS5 and PS4 games that have come to PlayStation Plus to kick off 2023 have now become available to download. Last week, Sony finally announced the full slate of titles that would be landing on PS Plus Essential to begin the new year. And while some fans expected that PS Plus might get off to a slow start in 2023, the service is instead having one of its best months in a long, long time.
Available to obtain from today until February 7th, PS Plus subscribers can now snag Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Fallout 76, and Axiom Verge 2. Prior to the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor this March, Sony has made the PS5 and PS4 versions of Fallen Order available to download at no cost whatsoever. Additionally, Bethesda’s most recent Fallout title, Fallout 76, has joined PS Plus Essential after having previously been tied to PS Plus Extra. Lastly, the indie Metroidvania game Axiom Verge 2 rounds out a very strong month and is also downloadable natively for PS5 and PS4.
