Hi everyone! It’s been a little while since the last update but we’re really excited about the year ahead for PlayStation Plus as we strive to bring you great content and fantastic discounts on a range of games and services.
There are three new PS3 games and two for PS Vita in the line-up for February, as well as awesome titles such as Guardians of Middle Earth, Mortal Kombat and Jet Set Radio that are already available right now! So, without further ado…
New PlayStation 3 content
We’re very happy to announce that from 6th February for one month, you can download the awesome Sleeping Dogs.
This action adventure game from our friends at Square Enix takes you deep into the violent criminal underworld of vibrant, neon-lit Hong Kong. You’ll assume the role of Wie Shen, an undercover cop looking to take down the Triads from the inside. You’ll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organisation, taking part in brutal criminal activities without blowing your cover.
Critics worldwide agree it’s a top-tier open-world action title – make sure you grab this while it’s available!
Your second addition to the Instant Game Collection is the extremely fun F1 Race Stars from Codemasters. The Plus service has been a little shooter-heavy over the last couple of months so in the interest of diversity why not kick back, relax, get some friends round and have a good time with this addictive multiplayer racer.
Your final PS3 addition this month is ingenious first person puzzler Quantum Conundrum, designed by Kim Swift – one of the creators of Valve’s classic brain-teaser Portal.
Quantum Conundrum sends you on a quest of inter-dimensional problem-solving to rescue your mad-scientist uncle, who’s gone missing somewhere in his labyrinthine mansion. The professor’s latest invention, the Inter-Dimensional Shift Device (or ISD), should prove quite useful in navigating the obstacles in each room – such as death lasers and pools of skin-melting “science juice.” Gulp.
New PS Vita content
First up for PS Vita on 13th February is the oft-requested WipEout 2048. Reborn for PS Vita to take advantage of the system’s unique features and dazzling OLED screen you can race up to eight players simultaneously online and compete for first place on the global leaderboards.
Next up, on 20th February, is an incredibly addictive game from our friends at Ubisoft. Lumines: Electronic Symphony is the first PS Vita outing for this popular franchise, bringing together block-dropping puzzle action with an all-new 3D graphics engine and some of the biggest electronic music artists around.
As usual, over the coming weeks you can also expect exclusive PS Plus discounts on lots of other titles, including Just Cause 1 and 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Dust 514 Mercenary Pack and Alien Breed Trilogy. We’ll update you on these offers and more in the weekly Store posts. Also, Plus members will have access to an exclusive theme for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch from 30th January.
On top of all that, I’m very pleased to announce that as of 6th February we will once again be bringing you a fantastic discount on the 90 day membership for PlayStation Plus. For two whole weeks you’ll be able to get over 30% off the regular price – that’s €9.99/£7.99, reduced from €14.99/£11.99. A bargain, no?
In summary
Leaving the Plus Service in February:
6th February: BioShock 2
6th February: Ratchet and Clank All 4 One
6th February: Cubixx HD
13th February: Jet Set Radio
20th February: Pinball Arcade
Entering the Plus Service in February:
6th February: Sleeping Dogs
6th February: Quantum Conundrum
6th February: F1 Race Stars
13th February: WipEout 2048
20th February: Lumines Electronic Symphony
If you are not currently a Plus member, visit our PlayStation Plus site to find out more about the service. Here you’ll learn all you need to know about the Instant Game Collection, which gives members access to at least 14 games at any one time and over 65 games across the course of a 12 month subscription – all for a one-off payment of just £39.99.
Remember, if you’ve not got access to your PS3 or PS Vita then you can also buy through our online store.

can we PLEASE have borderlands 2 for ps plus in march? it would be perfect and it would also make a money benefit because it wont be to long before a game of the year edition comes out with all the dlc so giving us borderlands 2 will inspire people to buy the dlc rather then wait for the goty!(i dont own it because im waiting for goty, but if i were given it for psplus id have no choice but to buy the dlc)

@Robinsworldwide It’s most likely a case that neither section talked to the other about what was going on offer – there’s so many companies where the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing!
You still have the option to view it pessimistically or optimistically – you can view it as you got ripped off as it’s now free or you can view it as you still made a saving as you 100% own the game rather than “renting it” via PS+ (as that’s basically what is happening).
I do understand people’s frustration but these kinds of things happen so often that I’m surprised it’s caused such a fuss… It’s the same risk anyone takes when buying ANYTHING – what you buy today could go on offer tomorrow… You’re assuming that whoever did the sale knew it was going to be on Plus not long after – it’s entirely possible they weren’t aware of it when they put it on sale – that’s all I’m saying (that and you do get a good deal over-all via PS+ ) so maybe you could look on the bright side?
However if they did know it was going to be on PS+ – “Bad Sony/PSN” XD

@Kryss2k
Yea if you buy something chances are it’s going to be on sale the next day. Do i pay that particular retailer a subscription fee where i get monthly stuff for free though: NO! Clearly you can see how that makes a huge difference.
Both offers were amazing in comparison to other retail titles. In the case of F1 you could say it’s because the game didn’t do well, but Sleeping Dogs did very decent. Coincedence? The answer of SCEE in this thread is not that they didn’t know it was going to be on PS+, the answer is that they try to avoid these situations as much as possible. So they actually admit that it’s not a good thing…they just refuse to take measures so it can’t happen to PS+ members again.
The fact that i admittedly do get a lot of value for money doesn’t justify any malversations on Sony’s behave. The money is not the issue to me whatsoever, it’s about the principle. I’m not bitter, i’m not negative towards PS+ as a whole, i do still love PS+, i just think it should be said when people are being treated unfair.
You probably still won’t agree with me, but you seem like a nice guy and i’m not looking to argue here so let’s just agree to disagree.

Wow, this is the first month where I already own the “top title”. Oh well – I will just get rid of my disc version and DL it again on feb 6th. Any chance of getting one of the HD remakes/collections in March? ICO/SoTC, Silent Hill, Splinter Cell, MGS, RE4 or Okami please? Oh, and RDR: Undead Nightmare, please.
405
Posted on 31 January, 2013 at 2:16 pm by martintr81
nice games, seems will be a good month, we also look forward plus sales discount however we are not sure we will succeed to purchase subscription bcs we live problems while purchasing for a couple of weeks

Fantastic releases on plus for February.
As for Dead Island as a suggestion for Plus in future, please no. I’m sure most people that were interested have played it by now particularly with the GOTY edition being quite cheap and its not a classic or part of a notable series. I only purchased my PS3 in September and even I have played it.
Suggestions:
Hitman: Absolution
Dishonored
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Borderlands 2
Darksiders 2
Dragon’s Dogma
Dark Souls, Yakuza 4 an God of War 3 are probably the only ones pre-2012 that I’d suggest because they’re both part of notable game series and have another game in each of their series coming.
Hmmm…Uncharted 3 or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim would be nice, both being part of notable series again so I can overlook the pre-2012 for those two too.

I have a problem with two of the games i downloaded(recently plus member). These are bioshock and vanquish, i cannot play them. I can skip the intro but when i get at the start screen no button is responding to start nor to navigate through the options.
Any suggestions?
409

Not a great month for me. Already have Sleeping Dogs (great game though, so I’m happy for other PS+ members) and this has happened a few times for me. Last time was Mortal Kombat. I wish there was some sort of other reward for people who already have the games that are offered, or perhaps the ability to choose between a few selected titles, like that time that PSN was hacked?
I’d also like more RPGs available on PS+ since I don’t remember seeing any. Ni No Kuni would be awesome but I doubt that you’d give us that since it’s so new. Still, if you’re feeling generous… =D
As for the Vita, I’d love to try out New Little King’s Story but it’s still pretty expensive. Hopefully it’ll be an option in the future though?
Either way, please think of your RPG fans. I’ve had a few first person shooters which I’ll never play because I don’t like the genre but I’d love more RPGs. Course, I have a lot of those already but it’d be nice to see some on PS+.

hmm…was thinking, how about the MGS HD remakes and 4? Given that it got trophies recently, and that what people are thinking is 5 “Phantom Pain” is out…next year I think? be interesting to get the series and see if its worth the hype (4′s demo was very meh, and given how cheap they all are anyway? might aswell + it
)
or perhaps Resi 6/ Racoon City? Mainly due to interest as to hw bad they actually are o_O (If Sonic 06 or any of the ones before Colours were on the store Id suggest them too :p. Adventure 2 might be decent for people that never got it years ago, sucks theres no online Chao training/battling however >_>)

Will Poland ever see Movie Store on PSN?
There is just an empty space…
If that’s not gonna change, I’m either way going abroad so… is it possible to change your account region?

Will i be able to download BioShock 2 after 6 of February? despite i have purchased it and it is on my download list?
416
Posted on 3 February, 2013 at 1:50 am by alimohammed
cant wait for 4 of those games. already have wipeout.
417
Posted on 3 February, 2013 at 7:07 am by dorkgeniuz21
Oh hellz yeaz..I have been waiting to find the right time to join playstation plus, as well as try out sleeping dogs. I would love me some Ratchet & Clank FFA Vita though so hopefully it does come out this month. Question? Can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese somehow suggest to Sony that they should add Remote-play & cross-controller to both Full Frontal Assault & R&C collections. Sly Cooper Collection and infamous would also be nice with these features. Sony has put ps-move in things but not given the Vita much Cross-controller remote-play love and we want more.

Is Portugal going to get this games?
419
Posted on 3 February, 2013 at 1:40 pm by Ambervox
Hello!
Looking forward to getting these games, a good selection.
I would love to see L.A Noire on Play station Plus soon.
I have always thought it would be a great idea to have a poll on the blog with possible games for the community. We could pick from a selection of games that are suitable for plus.

Hi Chris,
I see your post a bit further down the page about avatars that we want. I think it would be great if we could buy the trophy pictures as avatars. Bronze, Gold, Silver, Platinum.
Hopefully these will be implemented
421
Posted on 3 February, 2013 at 11:06 pm by DJrya
What a awsome update, I do like free exclusive avatars? I want a sniper elite v2 avatar but I don’t think it will hqppen (Can’t buy the guns/Dlc/online pass on it anymore) Why removed?
422
Posted on 3 February, 2013 at 11:37 pm by Dermado
doubt Chris is still reading, let alone replying to these, but yeah LA Noir seems decent (heard it was somewhat repetitive later on) or Heavy Rain. Is it you contacting them or them contacting you and offering to put thigs up on the store? as it seems to generally be things that the sequal is coming out ina few months anyway and they want hype. In which case is it even worth us suggesting?
On a sidenote, new avatars and themes would be nice (as would removing Singspam , leave it for the non +ers ;P) as would the ability to vote on them, perhaps do a trial run with avatars, and then when its fixed (Scee has a bad track record x_X) use that to atleast get suggestions for games, and how many peope want at the very least a genre, if not a specific game (which could be your choice or let people go mental and pick their own and vote up five and vote down five, then try and get the top 3-5 rated games for a future month)
423
Posted on 4 February, 2013 at 1:01 pm by Amine-Tet1
Can we get one of these games for march please:
-episodes of Liberty city
-Heavy Rain
-dragon age origin
-Mass effect 1
-far cry 2
-Tokyo jungle
Thanks
424
Posted on 4 February, 2013 at 5:48 pm by Stonesthrow
Nothing that I’m interested in besides Sleeping dogs and Wipeout, which I already have.. I got plus just for the Ni no kuni theme though :p
Some personal suggestions : SSX, NBA2K13, Darksiders 2, Sorcery, Driver SF maybe? Castlevania : Harmony of despair, Walking dead and Back to the future series, .. The store is acting up again so that’s all I’m gonna search for now :p Oh and Street fighter X Tekken for Vita would be nice too :p

Excellent EU lineup this month, thanks! Been looking forward to trying all of these PS3 games, and nearly pulled the trigger on picking up Sleeping Dogs for my PC on Steam the other day, so I’m glad I waited… it’s the sort of game I’d rather play on the big telly anyhow. Cheers ~J

Are you ever going to update the exclusive avatars for PS+? IGC is great but there are other features to PS+, yet none of them seem to be getting updated.
428
Posted on 5 February, 2013 at 3:04 pm by RyanTL
Nice one! Now I have more games than I know what to do with! I doubt I’ll be buying anything until GTA5 comes out in September.

Can we get more discounts for plus members? I mean discounts exclusively for plus members, not just an additional 10% (which usually means 80 pence off).
You say it is difficult to negotiate discounts with publishers/developers… how difficult was it to negotiate such long discounts on Halfminutehero, Innocent life, Harvest moon, Valhalla Knights 1 and 2, Blazing souls accelate, Arc the lad? They seem to have been on discount forever.
432
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 1:04 am by triplejmzu8
I’m really happy about this month, sounds pretty cool. ^-^
I hope, there’ll be a game, like Uncharted 2/3, Killzone 2/3, Resistance 2/3 or Disgaea 3/4 in the next months.
MfG, ~Ju.

Hi chris
LOVE the update btw!!
I’ve looked all over the web and I can’t find it so can you help me? What games have been on PS+ IGC UK since the collection started last year. I’d be so so so so grateful if you could let me know so that I can buy the games that have been on there in the past without the danger of them coming up soon
Thank you
441
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 12:27 pm by Frxn
@jay_mz Yeah man, I’ve stopped buying stuff on the store especially for Vita and held back on a lot of retail games (Sleeping Dogs being one of them, not that I game that much these days) unless it’s something I /really/ want.
I would say you’d be better holding back on impulse buys and keep the plus sub going. It’s a bit of a gamble either way though.
I don’t have many nice things to say about Sony – SCEE especially – these days, but one of them is that plus (for the games, not the other crap) is heaps of value for money.
442
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 1:27 pm by BATTENBERG91
I know loads of people have suggested this already but what about Shadow of the Colossus and Ico?

Sleeping dogs is downloading but my kids wanted F1 stars and its saying only 1.1GB download and I selected full game is that right. ,??
444
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 1:43 pm by dark_angel69
@Fred
It seems to be 2 hours early now. Unless you mean should be available for everyone by 3pm
You sure it goes live at 3pm? I’ve been downloading it since 1pm and it’s at 24%. Such bad internet.
445
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 1:50 pm by windsorblue01
@dark_angel69 you will find they star adding new stuff from about 11am on a wednesday to update but for all the stuff it takes a while and dont finnish putting them in there right places to about 3pm

Ok but why i don’t see sleeping dogs in the German PSstore ??
On the first page of the PlayStation Store (German) we still have a poster of sleeping dogs. I a specially buy ps + on this occasion, and what now? NO sleeping dogs, the money spent, I request a refund for cheating the customer.
448
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 2:33 pm by triplejmzu8
Hello.
I’m from Germany and I’m not able to download “Sleeping Dogs” yet.
It’s not even in the Store.
449
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 7:31 pm by humansrights
I feel like i’ve have been cheated. I bought PlaystationPlus like 2 days ago for around 20 dollars or (115 kr.) and now it is on sale 30% off. Why is the advertising so late, so that i pay “too much” instead of buying the “new-customer-discount” or whatever you could call it.
I hope that in the future there will be announcements earlier!
450
Posted on 6 February, 2013 at 7:53 pm by LEsco
The number of times I’ve done that.just chalk it up to experience and remember it the next time a must buy game appears.Just ask yourself,can I live without it for six months?
