The lineups for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium are getting a shakeup once again for this March, as several games are leaving and getting added to the service.
Update: As reported by PSU, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror can be purchased separately if you don’t have PlayStation Plus Premium. As can be confirmed on the PlayStation Store page, it is $ 9.99 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
As reported by PSU, these are the games being removed for March:
- Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Video game 5
- Victor Vran Overkill Edition
- A Velocibox Ultimate Bundle
- The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
- Override 2: Super Mech League
- Ghost of a Tale
- Dungeons 2
- Danger Zone
- Marvel’s Avengers
Of course, the big name in that list is Marvel’s Avengers, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics ambitious live service action adventure game. The game has mostly received a mixed reception, with a lot of criticism going towards those live service elements and the perception that that side of the game compromised it as a whole.
If you did want to keep a copy of Marvel’s Avengers or any of these other games, you can claim them on your PlayStation 5, and that will let you keep them in your account even after being removed from PlayStation Plus.
Now, here are the list of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games, for PlayStation Plus Extra, as reported by Pledge Times. These are also available on the higher PlayStation Plus Premium tier.
- Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection
- Tchia
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction
- Ghostwire Tokyo
- Life Is Strange: True Colors
- Immortals Fenyx Rising
- Life is Strange 2
- Dragon Ball Z: Kakarrot
- Street Fighter V Champion Edition
- Untitled Goose Game
- Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
- Rage 2
- Neo: The World Ends with You
- Haven
Now there’s a lot of great games on this list. While the best game is probably up for debate, the best value has to be Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection. This is a collection of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and represents the best of Sony’s best first party output.
These are the classic games being added to PlayStation Plus Premium:
- Ridge Racer Type 4 – PlayStation
- Bee Academy 2 – PlayStation Portable
- Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror – PlayStation Portable
Ridge Racer Type 4 is the most well-known and best rated game in this group, but I’ll go out on a limb and say the PlayStation Portable version of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is the real hidden gem here. This is the first time this version of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror has been rereleased since it was initially published in 2006 to 2007.
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is one of the later games in the Syphon Filter franchise, but it’s become scarce since Sony hadn’t done a rerelease for it until now. Notably, it received a port for the PlayStation 2. While that version upscaled the graphics, it also removed a lot of the mature content, including expletives, violence, and adult situations. It also received lower game scores. So it may not seem like it in the surface, but the PlayStation Portable version of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is the better version to put on PlayStation Plus.
