PS Plus February Games & PS4 Era Ending in 2026

February's Fantastic Lineup

This February, PS Plus subscribers can dive into a diverse selection of titles. Headlining the list is Payday 3, the co-op shooter that lets you plan and execute thrilling heists with your friends. If you're looking for something a little more offbeat, check out High on Life, an action-adventure FPS with a unique sense of humor. And for a dose of nostalgia, Pac-Man World Re-Pac brings the classic platformer back to life with updated graphics and gameplay.

These games will be available for PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium members to download and play throughout February. Make sure to grab them while you can!

The End of an Era for PS4 Games

While the February lineup is exciting, the bigger news is what's on the horizon. Sony has announced that they will be shifting away from including PS4 titles on the PS Plus service starting in 2026. This marks a significant turning point for the platform, signaling a full transition towards the PS5 era.

This doesn't mean your PS4 is obsolete, of course. You'll still be able to play all the PS4 games you own, and many will still be available for purchase digitally. However, new additions to the PS Plus library will likely focus solely on PS5 titles.

Pac-Man's Enduring Legacy

Speaking of classics, it's worth noting that Pac-Man is celebrating its 45th anniversary! To commemorate this milestone, PowerA has teamed up with Bandai Namco Entertainment America to create licensed gaming gear. So, whether you're reliving your childhood with Pac-Man World Re-Pac or grabbing some cool new accessories, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the yellow icon.

The inclusion of *Pac-Man World Re-Pac* is "a great way to celebrate Pac-Man's legacy" according to one gaming blogger.
