PlayStation Plus March 2026: PGA Tour 2K25 Leaked as Monthly Headline Title
PARIS, 24 February 2026 – As the end of February approaches, the first major details regarding the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup for March 2026 have emerged via reliable industry insiders. While Sony Interactive Entertainment has yet to provide official confirmation, reports indicate that sports fans will be the primary focus of next month’s offering.
PGA Tour 2K25 Set to Lead the Essential Tier
According to the prominent leaker billbil-kun, reporting via Dealabs, the headline title for the March 2026 PlayStation Plus Essential selection is PGA Tour 2K25. If the leak proves accurate, the golf simulation will be available for subscribers to claim from 3 March until 7 April 2026.
The inclusion of a 2K Sports title follows a historical trend of sports games appearing in the spring window. While the game received positive critical reception upon its release—noted for its graphical fidelity and refined swing mechanics—initial community reactions on social media have been mixed, with some subscribers expressing a desire for more diverse genres in the monthly “free” slots.
Games Departing PlayStation Plus in March 2026
While new titles arrive, Sony has also confirmed that several high-profile games will be removed from the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium “Game Catalog” in March. Subscribers have only a few days remaining to experience these titles before they are moved behind a standard paywall.
| Game Title | Status (March 2026) |
|---|---|
| PGA Tour 2K25 | Leaked Headline Addition (Essential) |
| TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge | Confirmed Departure (Extra/Premium) |
| Paradise Killer | Confirmed Departure (Extra/Premium) |
| Circus Electrique | Confirmed Departure (Extra/Premium) |
| Redout II | Confirmed Departure (Extra/Premium) |
Subscription Tiers and Pricing
The PlayStation Plus service remains structured into three distinct tiers, each offering a different level of access to Sony’s digital library. The Essential tier provides the monthly “free” games and online multiplayer access, while Extra and Premium include a rotating catalogue of hundreds of PS4 and PS5 titles.
In France and across the Eurozone, the Essential monthly subscription is priced at €11.99. The Premium tier, which includes the “Classics Catalog” and cloud streaming capabilities, remains the most expensive option for enthusiasts seeking the full PlayStation archive.
