Attention all gamers: Sony has just dropped the March 2026 PS Plus Essential lineup, and it’s already sparking debate! But here’s where it gets controversial—while some titles are undeniably exciting, a recent poll reveals that a whopping 30% of players are calling it a 'crap selection.' Is this month’s offering a hit or a miss? Let’s dive in.
As of now, PS Plus Essential members across the UK, Europe, and the USA (later in the day) can redeem this month’s games, available until April 6th, 2026. Here’s what’s on the table:
- PGA Tour 2K25 (PS5): Swing into action with this immersive golf simulation, perfect for sports enthusiasts.
- Monster Hunter Rise (PS5, PS4): Dive into a thrilling adventure filled with epic battles and monstrous foes. And this is the part most people miss—it’s a fan favorite for co-op play!
- Slime Rancher 2 (PS5): A charming, colorful sequel that lets you wrangle slimes in a whimsical open world.
- The Elder Scrolls Online (PS5, PS4): Explore the vast, ever-expanding universe of Tamriel in this massively multiplayer RPG.
As the base tier of the PS Plus subscription, these games are yours to play as long as you remain a member—just redeem them to your PSN account. But here’s the catch: they’ll only be available until April 6th, when a new set takes their place. Curious about what else is available? Check out the full list of PS Plus games here.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. The Push Square community isn’t exactly thrilled with this month’s selection. Out of over 2,600 voters, only 22% are even slightly satisfied.
