Free games for Xbox, PlayStation and PC subscribers in February

Surprise! January is over already. Avoid thinking about it with these free games for PS Plus, Xbox Gold, Humble Monthly and Epic Games Store subscribers. Because who doesn’t like free games?

PlayStation Plus:

• PS4 (available February 5 to March 5):
  • Hitman: The Complete First Season
    The open-ended assasinate-em-up from 2016 was the subject of many a Let’s Play for a long time.
  • For Honor
    Vikings vs Knights vs Samurai. Kind of like rock-paper-scissors, but with more weapons.

On a somewhat sad note, February will be the final month to offer PS Plus Games for both PS3 and PS Vita, after the service launched all the way back in 2010.  However, all previously claimed games will remain in players’ libraries.

• PS3 (available February 5 to March 8):
  • Divekick (also available on Vita via Cross-Buy)
    A 1-on-1 fighting game where every character can only dive, then kick. Perfect for if you’ve only got one hand free.
  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
    The epic conclusion to Solid Snake’s story, this game was loved to bits when it came out in 2008.

• PS Vita (available February 5 to March 8):
  • Gunhouse (also available on PS4 via Cross-Buy)
    It’s a puzzle game, but also you have to defend your puzzle from cartoon skeletons? Alright.
  • Rogue Aces (also available on PS4 via Cross-Buy)
    Take to the skies to shoot down enemy dogfighters and zeppelins in this arcade side-scroller.

Xbox  Games With  Gold

• Xbox One:
  • Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (available February 1 – 28)
    A throwback to the original Castlevania games, developed by some people who worked on the pre-Lords of Shadow titles.
  • Super Bomberman R (available February 16 – March 15)
    It’s the Bomberman you know and love, plus several other Bomber-folks, including a Bomber Master Chief.

• Xbox One and Xbox 360:
  • Assassin’s Creed Rogue (available February 1 – 15)
    The oft-forgotten sequel to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag features the same naval gameplay from its predecessor, with a darker story in which you play a Templar hunting down pesky Assassins.
  • Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (February 16 – 28)
    This original Xbox game first came out in 2003, and is probably non-canon by now. But you get to create your own character going to Jedi school!

Humble Monthly

• Yakuza 0
  A prequel to the action-RPG underworld soap opera franchise. If you want to dip your toe into the Yakuza games, 0 is a great place to start.
• Tom Clancy’s The Division + Survival Expansion
  Play around in multiplayer open world New York until The Division 2 launches in March this year.
• Rapture Rejects
  The folks who brought you the Cyanide & Happiness comics brings this battle royale, which seems to be as politically correct as you’d expect.
• More games to be revealed soon

Epic Games

• The Jackbox Party Pack (available January 24 – February 7)
  The first installment of the annual party game series. Highlights include popular games Fibbage XL and Drawful, as well as Lie Swatter, which can be played by up to 100 people at once.
• Axiom Verge (available February 7 – 21)
  A pixel-art metroidvania which got great reviews when it came out in 2015 – and was developed and composed entirely by one man.

Get on them free games, folks! And let us know which of these you’re most looking forward to.
