Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed the lineup of complimentary games for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers in March 2025. Set to be available for download starting March 4, the collection includes Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard marks the fourth installment by BioWare in the cherished fantasy role-playing series that first captured our imaginations with Dragon Age: Origins back in 2009. Our reviewer noted that this latest title successfully addresses many of the missteps from Dragon Age: Inquisition while preserving the distinctive qualities that aficionados love about the series. Despite being on shelves for just four months, the game hasn’t quite met Electronic Arts’ sales expectations, with EA CEO Andrew Wilson acknowledging its limited audience reach. Nonetheless, its availability as a free PS Plus offering is a pleasant surprise for fans. PlayStation 5 owners can enjoy this title.
Sonic Colors: Ultimate is an enhanced re-release from 2021 of the beloved Sonic Colors, originally developed by Sega, Sonic Team, and Blind Squirrel Games. Known for being one of the standout 3D entries in the Sonic franchise, this version will be accessible to PlayStation 4 users.
Calling all fans of the heroes in a half-shell: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection brings together an impressive array of 13 classic TMNT games. From arcade hits to beloved console classics on systems like NES, Genesis, Super NES, and Game Boy, this collection lets gamers revel in nostalgia. Iconic titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time will be available on both PS4 and PS5, letting you dive back into those thrilling beat-’em-up sessions.
Remember, these games are downloadable through March 31. As a refresher, the PlayStation Plus Essential tier offers superb value with perks like online multiplayer access, monthly free games for PS4 and PS5, cloud storage, and exclusive discounts on PlayStation Store purchases. The service is priced at $79.99 annually, $24.99 quarterly, or $9.99 per month, catering to a range of gaming needs and budgets.
