PS Plus Premium continues to be the black sheep of the family, receiving fewer games than other services, and another PS Plus Premium game is already raising heat.
PlayStation State of Play revealed several PS Plus games coming to the service over the next few months. PS Plus Essential will be available Great hike sometime this year. Got PS Plus Premium Disney Pixar Wall-E in February, and is receiving Tekken: Dark Resurgence In March, as well Time crunch in may PS Plus additional games for February 2026 were also confirmed Echoes of the End, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Monster Hunter Stories (1+2), Neva, Rugby 25, Season: A Letter to the Future, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crownand Venba.
PS Plus Premium members are unhappy with Tekken: Dark Resurrection
It only takes one glance to see a change in quantity, but sometimes quality requires a deeper investigation. Fighting game fans noticed that the PS Plus Premium Edition Tekken: Dark Resurgence Especially the PSP version of the game. It is not clear why Sony chose the PSP version when the PS2 version is highly regarded by fans.

Fans wasted no time tearing up Tekken: Dark ResurgenceIn addition to PSP. “Please repeat T6 with no multiplayer. That was stupid,” said one. Fans were quick to point out how greatly simplified the PSP version is, on top of that missing content, such as vanilla. Tekken 5 steps. The PSP version also has no vs mode and poor graphics, perhaps because Sony wants fans to have a great single-player experience, but that's also up for debate. None of the PS Plus Classics catalog games have online play, which may explain this choice, but any good fighting game has multiplayer at its heart. And the PS2 version may have offered.
Overall, fans are not impressed with this single game. And the reality is, while PS Plus Essentials and Extras games can get by some of the weaker ones because they offer a handful, PS Plus Premium can't. PS Plus Premium sometimes only adds 1 game to the Classics catalog, and fans probably know the one in May. Of course, things could change before May rolls around, but fans will just have to wait and see.
PS Plus reveals and keeps the release pattern strong
While State of Play was slightly delayed in revealing, PS Plus Extras and Premium Games for February 2026 were added on February 17. This means fans know PS Plus free games for March will be revealed on February 25, excluding any end-of-the-month fun trades, before being added at the start of March, with additional and premium games coming later in March. State of Play also suggests that PS Plus Premium will not be added in April.
Right now, March is the only known sport Tekken: Dark Resurgence. It might not be the catchiest title, but hopefully others will make up for it in March. I don't know if I'll rely on the PS Plus free games for March to do that, but there will be PS Plus extra games (again) for March 2026.
