PlayStation Plus for Europe Gets Sleeping Dogs and WipEout 2048 as Freebies Next Month

It's another year, but that doesn't mean Sony is letting up on giving European PlayStation Plus members one treat after another. Over on the official EU Sony PlayStation Blog, we get to see what EU PS+ members will get in February.

For next month, Sony will be introducing three new games to the Instant Game Collection lineup for the PS3, while the PS Vita will receive two.

Undoubtedly, the biggest freebie hitting next month is United Front Games' Sleeping Dogs. Released last year by Square Enix, the game was known as "GTA in Hong Kong," and that's a compliment. You'll take on the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop looking to take down the Triads from within. 

Joining the fray for the PS3 is Quantum Conundrum, a clever first-person puzzle game designed by Kim Swift — one of the creators of Valve's highly-successful puzzle game Portal.

Rounding out the list for the PS3 is F1 Race Stars from Codemasters.

Over on the PlayStation Vita, the oft-requested WipEout 2048 will finally be offered in February. Next on the list, which will be out on February 20, will be Lumines: Electronic Symphony.

Here's a quick summary of what's in and what's out for next month.

Leaving the Plus Service in February:

• 6th February: BioShock 2

• 6th February: Ratchet and Clank All 4 One

• 6th February: Cubixx HD

• 6th February: Sleeping Dogs

Not a bad month for PlayStation Plus members in Europe. Let's just hope the U.S. counterpart of the service can at least match it next month.
