A new month is on the horizon, bringing with it fresh opportunities for all PlayStation Plus members to expand their gaming libraries. From March 4 to March 31, subscribers can claim and keep a selection of exciting games as long as they maintain their subscription. This March, the lineup includes Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.
The standout title this month is undoubtedly Dragon Age: The Veilguard for PS5. Fans of the series experienced a decade-long wait between new installments, partly due to BioWare's repeated reboots of the latest title. Veilguard is an action RPG that serves as a direct sequel to the acclaimed 2014 release, Dragon Age Inquisition. It has generally received positive reviews, with praise for its stunning visuals and the meticulous attention to character detail by BioWare.
Despite its critical acclaim, Dragon Age: The Veilguard did not meet the sales expectations set by BioWare's parent company, EA. In its initial two months, the game attracted 1.5 million players, approximately half of what EA had projected for that period. This player count includes users from the EA Play Pro subscription service, leaving the exact number of copies sold unclear. This underwhelming performance may be a reason why Dragon Age: The Veilguard is being offered in the PS Plus Monthly Games lineup just over four months post-release.
For PS4 users, Sonic Colors: Ultimate offers a nostalgic journey with a remastered version of the platformer originally launched on the Wii in 2010. This revamped edition brings enhanced visuals and improved gameplay mechanics, ensuring both old fans and new players can enjoy a timeless classic.
Available for both PS4 and PS5, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a treasure trove of 13 classic TMNT games released by Konami between 1989 and 1994, featuring iconic titles like Turtles in Time. The collection includes various quality of life enhancements such as online and local multiplayer, a rewind function, the ability to save at any point, and button remapping. Additionally, fans can explore concept art and historic TMNT media content.
This March lineup promises a diverse range of gaming experiences for PlayStation Plus members, from epic RPG adventures to nostalgic platforming action and retro ninja battles, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy.
