7 New PS Plus Games for March and Beyond
March 2024 is one of the best months for PS Plus subscribers because of the variety of games available. Player.com has assembled a list that ranges from horror games to sports titles, so all you have to do is choose. To that end, below are seven new games coming to PlayStation Plus this month.
#1: NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition
NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition celebrates 2K’s 25th anniversary by honouring Kobe Bryant. Purchasing this edition in PS Plus will win you MyTeam Points, virtual currency, player packs, and unique Kobe Bryant and Sabrina Ionescu shirts. NBA 2K24 also shines because of game modes like MyCAREER and MyTEAM.
You’ll play on the streets, with friends online, and against random rivals who are as skilled as you. Let’s also remember the sleek visuals, which brilliantly render complex player moves and difficult lighting scenarios. It’s all thanks to ProPLAY, a software that captures motion from basketball footage and then recreates it in simulation.
While a 95-rated Kobe Bryant is impressive, NBA 2K24 still costs around $59.99. However, you can play the game for as low as $10. Even then, you’ll have access to other AAA games. Thankfully, you can compete against your friends who own an Xbox Series X.
#2: Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 3 is an action horror game where players survive a zombie outbreak while being chased by Mr. X. Mr. X is a towering zombie who doesn’t talk but is capable of destroying cities. He stalks the hallways of buildings in Raccoon City, hunting Jill Valentine down on the orders of his masters. Jill is one of the few people who’s still in Raccoon City due to her duties as a S.T.A.R.S. agent.
It’s not easy to survive the streets and shadows with limited health supplies and ammunition. Still, Jill impresses where it matters, delivering a lifelike experience, so each kill is personal. Avoiding Mr. X is always a fun experience, as he’ll break down walls to get to you. Sure, some rooms act as safe houses for the players because Mr. X won’t follow you inside. However, that’s after a terrific chase, where you’re the mouse and he’s the angry cat. No wonder this game is one of the most anticipated game to be played on the PS Plus.
#3: Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a tactical RPG where you control several heroes from the X-Men, the Midnight Sons, the Avengers, and the Runaways. Players will discover an intricate skill tree for each character, plus tons of customisation options to make the Midnight Suns truly yours. Character relationships also flesh out the storyline, confirming that humanity will always band up to confront evil.
Along the way, you’ll use iconic powers and moves to neutralise threats to the Universe. Thankfully, the roster of heroes is impressive, featuring mainstream characters like the Wolverine, Ghostrider, and Iron Man. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is on sale on the Xbox Series X and PC for $59.99, so this is a good opportunity to grab the game at a discount.
#4: Mystic Pillars: Remastered
Mystic Pillars: Remastered is a masterpiece that blends puzzles and storylines into an impressive tale of freedom in India. You’ll also enjoy beautiful visuals with 4K textures on the PS5, and in the background, impressive scores play out. Mystic Pillars: Remastered is better than other puzzle games because of its storyline.
A traveller traversing Ancient India comes across several Mystic Pillars that can be interacted with. Solving the puzzles of the Mystic Pillars will resolve an issue plaguing the cities that you travel to. However, many gamers still prefer shooters such as Resident Evil 3 and sports games like NBA 2K24. If you have kids around, then you’ll benefit from a puzzle game that can connect the family and help you bond more.
#5: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a classic that’s only available on PS Premium. Still, you’ll fight court cases as Phoenix Wright, a capable attorney who fights for the innocent. It’s also a visual novel game where your actions determine the outcome of court cases. Thankfully, it’s a lengthy adventure that spans 14 episodes and three instalments.
You head the Wright Anything Agency, which focuses on criminal cases. Each case is unique because the defendants and witnesses have different motivations. So, if anybody is collecting a bribe or being coerced into taking the fall for a crime, it’s up to players to uncover those secrets. Thankfully, Phoenix Wright is a veteran attorney with plenty of deductive and investigative skills at his disposal. Use them wisely.
#6: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot lets you explore the world of Dragon Ball as Goku or a few other Z Fighters. Battles are challenging, while power moves are over the top. Ultimately, it’s a fun experience that lets you relive some of the best moments in the franchise.
You’ll explore new areas and bond with powerful fighters so you can call for their help.
This is an RPG, so expect vast battlefields to test all of your skills, and a variety of resources for building your character. Many bosses will also pop up throughout the 30-hour-long campaign. Also, expect four storylines, which are the Saiyan Saga, the Cell Saga, the Buu Saga, and the Frieza Saga.
#7: Lego DC Super-Villains
Lego DC Super-Villains is a Lego game that’s best enjoyed with your partner or children. The graphics are cartoonish and comedic, so nobody is taking the Joker and his right hand seriously anytime soon. You’ll battle superheroes from another universe, so expect many iconic characters and their move sets. You’ll control supervillains such as Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Killer Frost, Harley Quinn, and the Joker.
Our Final Say: PS Plus Is Catching up to Xbox Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass is still a top-tier gaming subscription but PS Plus is gaining momentum as we speak. For one, only the vanilla version of NBA 2K24 is available on Game Pass, while the PS Plus edition comes with some Kobe Bryant-themed merchandise.
If titles like The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered are added to PS Plus, we’re sure many gamers will be convinced to buy in. For now, Sony is saving its best games for last, which isn’t noteworthy because Xbox regularly launches new games on Game Pass.
