[UPDATE] The PlayStation Plus February 2018 line-up of new games have been confirmed. Players with a PlayStation Plus subscription will be able to pick up the following titles for free.
- Knack (PS4)
- RiME (PS4)
- StarBlood Arena (PS Plus bonus - PS VR required)
- Spelunker HD (PS3)
- Mugen Souls Z (PS3)
- Exiles End (PS Vita)
- Grand Kingdom (PS Vita & PS4)
[UPDATE] There’s a new leak of the PlayStation Plus February 2018 games ahead of the official reveal later today. Apparently some users on Resetera are seeing the following image on their dashboards, confirming that Knack and Rime are two of the free PS Plus games for PS4.
Knack, from SIE Japan Studio, is an action-adventure platformer that was released way back in 2013 at the launch of PS4, while Rime is the rather average adventure puzzle game from Tequila Works.
We’d like to emphasise that these games have not been officially confirmed, and this picture could easily have been faked.
Original Story
The PS Plus games for February 2018 are due to be revealed on Wednesday, but there’s already some bad news for those hoping that the recent leak was true.
It turns out that the recent picture showcasing Dark Souls II and Far Cry 4 as two of the free PS4 games was faked. The source of the alleged leak was a Reddit poster, who has now come forward to say he faked the screenshot below.
“Hi my name is George Awad I’m the creator of the image that’s been going around like wildfire and to prove it I’ll provide this image where I moved a few things around. I made this as a joke on facebook and someone put this on Reddit and it spread like wildfire.”
So we’re currently none the wiser on what’s coming to the Instant Game Collection this month, though we do have our own prediction below.
The PlayStation Plus February 2018 games were apparently leaked last week. The following image made its way around the web appearing to show two of the PS4 games coming for free in February.
Those PS Plus games appeared to be Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin and Far Cry 4. Ubisoft is no stranger to dishing out free games on PlayStation Plus, but it did seem rather strange that the developer would be dishing out a Far Cry game for free when Far Cry 5 is on the horizon. Having two games of this quality did see to be too good to be true.
