Undisputed and Subnautica Below Zero Lead PlayStation Plus Essential Lineup for February 2026
PlayStation has revealed the 4 monthly games coming to PlayStation Plus Essential, with the same titles also available to higher tiers, for February 2026. The lineup goes live on February 3, 2026, and it is led by the boxing game Undisputed and the survival follow up Subnautica Below Zero, continuing the cadence after January’s offerings of Need for Speed Unbound, Epic Mickey Rebrushed, and Core Keeper.
As has become routine, at least 1 of the monthly games surfaced early through leaks ahead of the official reveal. This time, Undisputed was the title that appeared early, with Dealabs pointing to it before the PlayStation Blog post went live.
Beyond the 2 headliners, February’s drop includes Ace Combat 7 Skies Unknown and Ultros. Ace Combat 7 landing in February is strong timing for players who want to get current before the next entry, since this should serve as a clean ramp for anyone planning to jump into Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve when it arrives. Ultros adds a very different flavor to the lineup, delivering an indie metroidvania experience from developer Hadoque, built around exploring a twisting Sarcophagus with a distinct visual identity and progression loop.
With the February titles becoming claimable on February 3, 2026, players have until February 2, 2026, to add January’s PlayStation Plus Essential games to their library if they have not already. For Extra and Premium members, there is a familiar friction point again this month: some of the value may feel diluted when a monthly game overlaps with the existing Games Catalog, since Ultros previously entered the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog at launch in February 2024.
Looking ahead, there is also fresh chatter around a new State of Play presentation, currently rumored for the week of February 12, 2026, possibly on February 12 itself. If that event materializes, it could become the real momentum driver for February, especially if PlayStation uses it to set expectations for spring releases and platform updates.
Which of these February games is the real win for you, Undisputed for quick competitive sessions, Subnautica Below Zero for longer progression play, or Ace Combat 7 for pure spectacle?
