Sony has announced the slate of games coming to PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in March. Starting March 19, PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/Premium tier subscribers will get access to popular basketball sim NBA 2K24, tactical RPG Marvel’s Midnight Suns, survival horror title Resident Evil 3, and more. March Game Catalog offerings follow the month’s lineup of free games — available to all PS Plus members — that Sony announced in late February.
A PlayStation Blog post on Wednesday confirmed the pack of games joining the PS Plus Game Catalog this month. The newest NBA 2K title leads the lineup, offering basketball fans an authentic NBA experience. NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition features the late and great eponymous basketball star on its cover. Aside from featuring the latest NBA and WNBA teams with updated rosters, the game also features historic teams. The on-court gameplay has been refined, as well. Aside from the usual modes, NBA 2K24 also brings Mamba Moments, that allows players to relive Kobe Bryant’s career-high moments. 2K’s latest NBA title is also the first to support cross play between PS5 and Xbox Series S/X consoles. NBA 2K24 will be available to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/Premium members on PS4 and PS5.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns also arrives on both PS4 and PS5 this month. The tactical RPG from Firaxis Games lets players create a custom superhero, The Hunter, and lead a host of Marvel heroes in turn-based battles that also employ deck-building mechanics. The base game includes 13 popular superheroes, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, Venom, Scarlet Witch, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and more.
PS Plus Game Catalog is expanding its Resident Evil offerings, too, bringing 2020’s Resident Evil 3 to the service this month. A remake of 1999’s Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, the survival horror title from Capcom puts players in the shoes of former agent Jill Valentine and mercenary Carlos Oliveira stuck in a zombie-infested Racoon City. The third-person shooter also features plenty of puzzles. Resident Evil 3 will be available on PS4 and PS5.
In addition to the Marvel heroes from Midnight Suns, PS Plus also adds DC villains to the mix with Lego DC Supervillains, available on PS4. The action-adventure platformer is a spinoff from the Lego Batman series and allows players to create a custom supervillain from scratch. The Justice League has vanished and it’s up to the supervillains to save the day for a change. Players can team up with iconic DC villains like The Joker and Harley Quinn and take on the threat of a different set of supervillains from another universe.
All PS Plus Game Catalog titles will be playable on PS4 and PS5 from March 19. The games will be accessible to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium subscribers. It’s worth noting that the titles available as part of PlayStation’s Game Catalog cannot be added to your game library and will only be playable as long as they are available on the service.
The four free games available in March to all PS Plus members across Essential, Extra and Deluxe/Premium tiers were announced late last month. These include Sifu, EA Sports F1 23, Hello Neighbor 2, and Destiny 2: The Witch Queen.
