Depending on where we live in the world, some of us have been getting hit with cold blasts of snow from a winter that doesn’t want to let up. Rather than going out in this freezing weather, why not stay indoors and play some games? Sony certainly encourages this, as they have just announced their PlayStation Plus free games March 2025 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, March 4.
First, for the PS5, there’s Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the action RPG by BioWare and fourth major game in the Dragon Age franchise. Taking place following the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, players control Rook, a new hero who will need to lead a team of companions against a pair of corrupt ancient gods.
Next, for the PS4, there’s Sonic Colors: Ultimate, a remaster of the 2010 game for the Nintendo Wii and DS. Explore six different worlds as Sonic tries to free an alien race captured by Dr. Eggman to power his interstellar amusement park.
Last, for both the PS4 and PS5, there is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. Developed by Digital Eclipse, the game is a collection of 13 TMNT games starting with the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES, and ending with the 1994 Tournament Fighters. The collection includes versions originally released on the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, and the arcade.
All three titles in the PlayStation Plus free games March 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock. Also, it is worth noting that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection have separate lists for the PS4 and PS5 versions, which means two separate platinum trophies if you own both systems.
Obtaining the platinum for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is by far the quickest and easiest of the three games. This is because of the Watch Mode which allows you to fast forward straight to the final boss on 11 of the 13 games. The platinum can be unlocked in just 2-3 hours.
Unlocking the platinum for Sonic Colors: Ultimate is also not terribly challenging, especially for players who have experience with the older version. While getting S-rank on a few boss battles may require some retries, the platinum overall is easier than average, and only needs about 15-20 hours.
Lastly, the platinum for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is arguably the easiest platinum in the Dragon Age series, with just a couple trophies which are potentially missable. However, being an RPG, expect to sink around 60-80 hours into this one.
