January is over, which means a new slate of games are coming to PlayStation Plus for February. However, it also means that multiple games will be leaving PS Plus in 24 hours. This is your last chance to add these games to your library before they leave the service, so you'll want to act fast if you plan on keeping them.

As revealed over on the official PlayStation Blog, all the Essential monthly games will be leaving PS Plus on Monday, February 2, 2026. Even if you're not wanting to play those games right now, you should head over and add them to your library. Otherwise, you'll miss the opportunity altogether.

What Games Are Leaving PS Plus In February?

As with most months, PlayStation Plus has offered up three games for January 2026. Those games are:

Core Keeper
Epic Mickey Rebrushed
Need For Speed Unbound

Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a pretty fun one, especially if you haven't played an earlier version of the game before. It's a pretty cool platformer that Disney fans will definitely enjoy. Core Keeper is a sandbox survival game that's kind of like Minecraft and kind of like Spelunky, but is different enough from either to be its own thing. It's also surprisingly challenging at times.

Meanwhile, Need For Speed Unbound may have received mixed reviews, but if you miss the Need For Speed games of old, or just want to drive around for a bit, it can get the job done. And, really, since all of these games are free to PlayStation Plus members, there's no reason not to check them out.

February's Games Land On PS Plus On Tuesday

The good news, of course, is that even though these three games are leaving, February 2026's PS Plus offerings will be arriving on Tuesday, February 3, to take their place. These new games are:

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Subnautica: Below Zero
Undisputed
Ultros

All four games are on the Essential tier, and while most of them have mixed reviews, a couple have mostly positive review scores. They may have flown under your radar at launch, so this is a great opportunity to try them now at no additional cost. Besides, it's pretty cool we're getting four games this time around.

Fans have had mixed reactions to the games being offered on PlayStation Plus this year so far, but with many months ahead, 2026 could still be a nice year for the subscription service. In the meantime, make sure you add the current slate of Essential games to your library before they leave on Monday, February 2, 2026.
