Next month is pretty near and the anouncment for the Playstation Plus free games is aproaching. Let's talk about the possible games included.
February is just around the corner and the first rumors and predictions have begun to appear in different portals about the free games available in the Playstation Plus subscriber program. After a month of January in which two titles have been received with great quality: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Batman: The Telltale Series, along with some indie games like Uncanny Valley that has surprised many, it is expected that next month February follow the same line. The last months of last year, the subscribers of the service obtained free titles like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain or inFAMOUS: Second Son. Therefore, this 2018 many expect triple A titles every month, something that may not happen on all occasions and we have to content ourselves with lower popularity titles that we would like to be used to.
Many users may be surprised if they expect that Sony Playstation during the month of February distribute some high quality game through Playstation Plus. The launch of home games like the remake of Shadow of the Colossus in the list of releases of February and the fact that its date is so close to the release of the free titles seems to presage an ungrateful surprise in this regard. It is quite likely that Sony does not try to compete against their own interests and does not decide to launch games that could disrupt the premiere of the remake of the Playstation 2 classic. For this reason, Sony may bet to include among the PS Plus games any of the Exclusive Playstation 4 games that were released during the first months of the console's life.
The predictions made by different means of internet, forums and user communities are simple conjectures that do not imply the introduction of these titles in the delivery of free games of the month of February. We must wait for the official announcement by Sony Playstation through the usual channels, which will take place on January 31, to confirm the games available for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita. Below we will analyze some of the predictions made by these websites and we will include a title that we think may be likely to appear among the free games next month.
Battlefield 4

The game developed by DICE and distributed by Electronic Arts was very successful during its launch. In addition, the set of almost all of the DLCs that were available during their life time has been available for very cheap prices and even for free in the Playstation Store.
The shooter whose multiplayer side is the most important in the saga of war action was a great success in both Playstation 3 and Playstation 4. The launch of his successor, Battlefield: Hardline did not have much impact as this delivery.
Some portals have introduced Battlefield 4 among the games available on Playstation Plus during the month of February. However, we do not believe that this takes place since Sony does not usually reach many agreements regarding games to include in the subscriber program with Electronic Arts.
Metro Redux
Metro Redux, a possible game for the PS Plus in February
The Metro games pack, launched during the summer of 2014 for the new generation platforms was a resounding success not only for its quality as a game but also for the remastering of the original titles. The titles of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light are contained in this pack with a significant improvement both technically and in textures and lighting to adapt to Playstation 4.
The games based on the homonymous science fiction novels and developed by 4A Games has been a reference in the graphic aspect during the last decade. In addition, the component of terror introduced by the titles to place the player in a post-apocalyptic Moscow is tremendous and one of the great attractions of the games of the Metro saga.
The title has been numerous times for the Playstation Store offers and would undoubtedly be a great candidate to be included among the free games of the month of February according to different internet portals. In addition, the fact of being a remastering of two classic games of the shooter genre and having for this year the premiere of Metro Exodus could mean that it appeared in the subscriber program one of the next months.
Beyond: Two Souls
Beyond Two Soiuls, developed by Quantic Dream
It has appeared in some lists of possible games for Playstation Plus recently through social networks like Reddit. The game developed by Quantic Dream exclusively for Playstation 4 and PS3 was released during October 2013, which places it more than four and a half years ago.
The cinematic adventure based on the resolution of situations and puzzles through dialogues and scenes of Quick Time Events is based on the same dynamic that triumphed in games like Heavy Rain, also available for some time on Playstation Plus. Without a doubt, it is a great plot with a careful script and a spectacular performance of actors like William Dafoe or Ellen Page, who participated in the creation of the game through their original movements and voices.
Beyond: Two Souls would be a great addition to the Playstation Plus games, not only because it is an exclusive Sony Playstation game that would decrease its negotiation value when it comes to including it. The fact of having so close the premiere of the new game of Quantic Dream, Detroit: Become Human, could generate that the title is present among the collection of free games of the month of February.
Rayman Legends

The game developed by Ubisoft is about the eighth title of the Rayman saga. Famous for offering a very competent gameplay in terms of platform genre, Rayman Legends is considered one of the great candidates to be among the free Playstation Plus games during the month of February.
Available on all Sony platforms, the game could be one of the crossplay titles available next month. In addition, Ubisoft is famous for having reached many agreements with the Japanese company to distribute their titles for free through the program of subscribers of PS Plus.
The title has survived very well over the years and both the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 versions have very careful details that know how to maintain the spirit of the saga including the improvements published throughout each of its games.
