PlayStation Plus March 2023 Free Games: Battlefield 2042, Minecraft Dungeons, Code Vein, and More

PlayStation Plus’ monthly free games for March 2023 were announced at its State of Play event, held early Friday. The three titles will be available to members of PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/ Premium plans, starting March 7. Members can claim the multiplayer shooter Battlefield 2042, the hack-and-slash-styled Minecraft Dungeons, and the anime-themed Souls-like, Code Vein. These titles can be added to your PS4 and PS5 games library until April 3 and you’ll need to hold onto your PS Plus subscriptions to continue playing the free games.

At the State of Play event, PlayStation also confirmed that Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection — comprising Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy — will be brought onto PS Plus, later in March, as part of its ‘Game Catalogue’ initiative. The feature is exclusive to the higher-tier PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium members and adds four more games into the mix. They are: Tango Gameworks’ supernatural spirit-hunting game Ghostwire: Tokyo, Ubisoft’s Greek mythology-inspired adventure title Immortals: Fenyx Rising, the co-op tactical shooter Rainbow Six Extraction, and Tchia.

The last of them is an indie open-world title set against a tropical backdrop, as you glide, swim, or sail around in your boat, hoping to rescue your father from Meavora, the cruel tyrant who rules the archipelago. Tchia releases March 21 on PS4 and PS5 and will be available for free to players subscribed to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe.

PS Plus March 2023: Battlefield 2042

As the latest entry in EA’s long-running shooter franchise, Battlefield 2042 failed to live up to expectations. After stripping off the campaign segment, the title was released in an unfinished state, rampant with glitches, rendering issues, and it didn’t even include Battlefield’s iconic real-time destructible environment. A lot of work has gone into it since launch, and the game is now in a far better state, with map reworks and new specialists, as part of its season 3 update. The game also introduced a Portal mode, letting players mash-up weapons and tech from past Battlefield games to create new experiences, brimming with mayhem.

Battlefield 2042 will be available to play on PS4 and PS5. Season 4 launches February 28.

PS Plus March 2023: Minecraft Dungeons

Rush through procedurally generated dungeons, hack down enemies, and collect endless loot, in a mission to take down the ruthless Arch-Illager. Minecraft Dungeons plays from an isometric perspective and lets you experiment with various weapons and enchantments, as you explore dimension-hopping levels set within the larger Minecraft universe. You can brave the dungeons by yourself or hop into co-op mode with three other players to make your journey easy. It’s like Diablo, almost.

Minecraft Dungeons will be available to play on PS4.

PS Plus March 2023: Code Vein

Best described as an anime Souls-like, Code Vein pits you against a post-apocalyptic world overtaken by bizarre monsters, following a mysterious event called the Great Collapse. In it you play as a Revenant — a human corpse brought back to life via a parasite, granting vampire-like abilities, which can be further enhanced via a deep set of upgrades. While it carries over the punishing difficulty from other Bandai Namco-published games such as Dark Souls, it also adds an AI partner (or online co-op friend) to make battles easy. A flexible class system is included as well, letting you switch things up on the fly.

Code Vein will be available to play on PS4.

Earlier this month, PlayStation added the critically-acclaimed Horizon Forbidden West to its PS Plus Game Catalogue, which as mentioned before, is available to Extra and Deluxe tier subscribers. New additions to the catalogue also included Borderlands 3, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Tekken 7, and more. Additionally, the company is offering a three-hour free trial for God of War Ragnarök, exclusive to PS Plus Deluxe/ Premium subscribers.

PlayStation Plus subscription in India starts at Rs. 499 per month for Essential, Rs. 749 per month for the Extra plan, and Rs. 849 per month for the top-tier Deluxe membership. The monthly free games are included with all three tiers.

Battlefield 2042 Coming to EA Play, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in Time for Season 3

Battlefield 2042 is coming to EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. In a development update blog post, EA confirmed that starting with Season 3, its multiplayer shooter will be included as part of its own subscription service, which also comes packaged with Xbox’s high-tier gaming subscription plan. The publisher has not unveiled a release window for the next chapter, but hopes to rope in wary players, who’ve avoided the game since its troubled launch in late YEAR. In December, EA has planned free access periods across all major platforms — PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.

“We’re proud of the work that we’ve done over the past 12 months and so if you haven’t jumped in yet, starting in Season 3 we’ll be introducing Battlefield 2042 into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and making the game available for subscribers with EA Play,” the post reads.

With Season 3, developer DICE will reintroduce Classes to Battlefield 2042, placing Specialists within defined roles that see them equipped with a unique set of gadgets, suited to specific situations on the field. Similar to past entries in the franchise, Classes are divided into four types: Assault is equipped with a med pen, the Engineer has a repair tool, Recon players carry an insertion beacon, and the Support types have a defibrillator at the ready, for quick revivals. This will be deployed as part of Update 3.2, scheduled for the early part of 2023, which falls during the latter half of the aforementioned Season 3 multiplayer component.

For those who can’t bothered with EA Play or Game Pass Ultimate, EA has also confirmed a free trial period across all platforms, hoping to bring boost the player base for Battlefield 2042. The game was received poorly by fans and critics alike at launch, due to the slew of glitches, rendering issues, and underuse of map segments. EA cut down development costs on several iconic aspects such as destructible environments and a campaign segment, while not bothering to iron out bugs before launch.

Here are the details for the free Battlefield 2042 trial period:

  • PC (Steam): From December 1, at 11:30pm IST/ 10am PT through to December 5, 11:30pm IST/ 10am PT
  • PS4, PS5: From December 16, at 9:30pm IST/ 8am PT through to December 23, 9:30pm IST/ 8am PT
  • Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X: From December 1, at 1:30pm IST/ 12:01am PT through to December 5, 1:29pm IST/ December 4, 11:59pm PT

EA also plans to introduce a new Specialist soon, alongside a new battle pass, events, changes to the Battlefield Portal, and several quality-of-life improvements. Battlefield 2042’s “Manifest” and “Breakaway” maps are also getting reworked in season 3, with the latter receiving a “massive overhaul.”

In September, EA established Ridgeline Games, a new studio dedicated to the Battlefield franchise, that will focus on creating a proper campaign experience. The component has been lacking in recent entries, but will see a positive shakeup under Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto’s direction, who will lead the new Seattle-based team, composed of industry veterans. The publisher first spoke about building a new campaign-focused team for Battlefield, merely weeks after 2042’s launch, completely revamping their management. At the time, Vince Zampella, CEO, Respawn Entertainment — known for Titanfall and Apex Legends — was put in charge of the series, aiming to build a “connected Battlefield universe,” exploring new experiences and stories.

Currently, there is no launch window for Battlefield 2042 Season 3, but it will be out on EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate once that happens.
