PlayStation Plus Essential: What Games Kick Off Spring 2026?

It is the end of the month again, so Sony has officially revealed which games PlayStation Plus members can claim in March, regardless of subscription tier.

 

Once again, the leak cycle did its thing: billbil-kun pointed to PGA Tour 2K25 as March’s headliner – and once again, the claim matched the official announcement. So yes, the marquee pick is a golf game: PGA Tour 2K25 on PlayStation 5. Whether that is a headline-worthy choice is another question entirely, but the lineup does not stop there.

The second title is a far more attention-grabbing addition: Monster Hunter Rise on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 brings monster hunting and co-op to the monthly games. The indie slot goes to Slime Rancher 2 on PlayStation 5, while the fourth pick is the MMO option: The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

All four games will be available to claim from March 3 through April 6, 2026. On top of that, PlayStation Plus Essential and PlayStation Plus Extra members can redeem a one-month Discord Nitro trial, while PlayStation Plus Premium members can redeem a three-month trial. Codes are delivered via email, and the redemption window runs from March 3 (2:30pm GMT) to April 2 (11:59pm GMT).

There is also still time to grab February’s titles before they rotate out on March 2: Undisputed (PlayStation 5), Subnautica: Below Zero (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4), Ultros (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4), and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PlayStation 4).

It is a curious selection overall – and it is hard not to ask why a golf game is the supposed main event.
