Yeah the Lillith DLC was a new add-on to act as a lead in to Borderlands 3. It was released after The Handsome Collection. It was free for the first month or so, but after that you had to pay for it.

I still don't understand why people expect amazing games they've never played before each and every month on Plus. Yeah, most people probably have those games, but most people probably have most games on both services. Never got around to playing Tiny Tina, meant to play through BL2 again before playing but stopped at some point. And it's not exactly the same, it has some changes.

And yes, UFC is on EA but when I bought EA Access I didn't automatically assume they would never be on Plus/Now. Same as when a game I already own is on it. And Planet Coaster is grand, it's like a diluted version of Rollercoaster Tycoon with not a lot of content, but for free it's grand.

I'm happy enough with Tiny Tinas game anyway.

Well someone was saying elsewhere that it's a busy month for new releases so probably better to not have an interesting Plus month.

Imminent Spartacus announcement due, the wording of the PS+ games has changed from "Available for PlayStation Plus subscribers" to "available this month at no extra cost".

I'm guessing you're getting that from this thread on Era

Potential-Monke

Could have been. Just something came back on a search. Something small, but these things don't change for no reason!

CastorTroy

Games are available now.

Gave Planet Coaster a quick spin (har) and it's a damn delight. Definitely looking forward to getting past the tutorial and getting stuck in. More complex than i remember from my Theme Park days but only to be expected. Using a controller is fiddly as well but great first impression of it.

Potential-Monke

I was the same when I bought Planet Coaster. It's fun, definitely, and if you're creative you might get more time with it than I did. It is lacking quite a lot of content compared to the base RCT3, limited scenarios/areas and rides, but I still got a good bit of time out of it. Was worth the €40 at least, and if they ever improve it more I'll have it there. It's not RCT, but it's the best you'll get on PS at the moment.

It is. You can add it to your account on the webstore or PS app for if and when you get a PS5.

Potential-Monke

Had a quick look to get something small while waiting for DL2 tomorrow, and had a look at the Plus games, and specifically Planer Coaster. I see there's a lot more content now, but it's going the Sims route of charging way too much for content to make the game feel full, rather than add on. Will be nice in about a years time to get the Complete edition for twenty quid or so.

CastorTroy

Just thinking with next month's games due to be revealed on Wednesday, have there been any more rumours about Spartacus?

sniper_samurai

None so far.

There is a rumour going around that Sifu will be on Plus next month as it is showing as a Plus game in the history of anyone who has played it. Personally I can't see that happening as it will have been on sale less than a month, if it was going into Plus so soon it would have launched directly into it.

CastorTroy

Would also result in everyone looking for a refund

martyos121

It's 99% BS. The rumour is only based off a PS Plus logo appearing beside the game in the library, that's far more likely related to the fact that there was a pre-order discount on the game for PS Plus customers.

No way are they giving away a one month old game and all the hassle that comes with it. If it's not direct-to-Plus, it's coming much later, it at all.

I agree, as I said I can't see it being added so close to launch.

We'll see what is actually available next month on Wednesday.

Exclamation Marc

The consumer confidence damage they would do to themselves including it in PS Plus a month after its release would not be worth it.

brianregan09

Nah sure the deluxe edition was cheaper with plus that's probably where that came from

Zero-Cool

On the subject of Sifu, when it gets announced it won't be part of March PS Plus, go and buy it immediately. Instant GOTY contention.

Potential-Monke

They must be getting better at not leaking stuff. Usually there's a whisper or two at this stage.

EoinMcLovin

Next month's games might have been leaked

Team Sonic Racing and Ark Survival Evolved

christ!

The Raging Bile Duct

That's pretty atrocious if true.

The Phantom Pain

I was under the impression that Ark Survival Evolved was already free or am I imagining that? Someone I know tried to get me to play it. Apparently it's good but I never checked it out. But yeah, that lineup is just about the doodoo you'd expect from Plus these days. It's not going to get better because we're at the end of a generation. Anything good has already come and gone or is too new to put on there.

It hasn't been free no.

It's a niche game, some people will like it but most people will hate it.

Zero-Cool

Some of my friends play Ark and say it's great but it's definitely geared toward online and constant playtime as your base can get wrecked while offline. Both the online and constant checking put me off looking into it. I'd give it a go on plus but doubt it's for me.

RedXIV

We def got team sonic racing before, maybe on the Vita or something? I remember trying it and I definitely didn't buy it.

CastorTroy

I remember when people would hold off on games as they might come to Plus. Think that attitude has changed now.

That was Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
