It’s that time of the month again! PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers (as well as those on higher tiers) will receive 3 new games in February, plus an expansion for Destiny 2 as a bonus (the base game being free to play).

The games will be made available on February 7th. If you haven’t gotten last month’s games yet, now’s your last chance, so get to it. We’ll try a different format for each game this time, where we put the description offered by Sony, followed by some technical information, and finally a trailer. Let’s get to it!
