What?! It’s February already?! No, we’re being serious \u2014 and we’ve got the PS Plus Essential<\/a> games to prove it.<\/p>\n

The second Essential offering of 2026 is almost here, and as always, we want to know if you’re actually happy with what’s up for grabs.<\/p>\n

So, first up, we’ve got Undisputed<\/a>, the eye-catching boxing sim that came out swinging back in 2024. Some strong reviews and player impressions pushed this one along quite nicely, but it never quite felt as though the title lived up to its initial hype. It might find some success on PS Plus, then.<\/p>\n

Subnautica: Below Zero<\/a> is next on the list. This survival sequel didn’t catch on like its viral predecessor did, but it’s still a solid follow-up by almost all accounts, with its ice cold setting making for a fairly unique excursion.<\/p>\n

Then we’ve got Ultros<\/a>, which brings some real variety to this lineup \u2014 it being a trippy-looking Metroidvania game with some interesting vegetation-based mechanics.<\/p>\n

And last but certainly not least, there’s Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown<\/a>. The 2019 dogfighter brought the airborne series back with a bang on PS4, and it’s still a blast to play today. It gets a recommendation from us, even if you’ve never thought about flying a plane before in your life.<\/p>\n

Yep, it’s what we’d call a… colourful group of games \u2014 but once again, what do you think of PS Plus Essential for February 2026? Vote in our polls, and then give us an honest opinion in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
