PlayStation Plus Free Games March 2019

Editorial Team

It’s the beginning of Spring, and here in Japan, this is the season for change. For PlayStation Plus members, this means Sony is changing what they are offering for free games. Since the PlayStation 3 is on its way to retirement, and the PlayStation Vita never quite received the fanbase Sony was hoping for, March 2019 will be the first month Sony is NOT offering free games for these two systems. As of next month, PlayStation Plus members will only receive two free PS4 games each month. And so, here is the line-up for PlayStation Plus Free Games March 2019.

First, there’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. The game was originally released in 2007 titled Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and was available on the PS3 before trophy support. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered was revamped with trophy support on the PS4 in 2016. The game is a first-person shooter where players chase an ultranationalist group around the world to subdue the civil wars and damages they are causing.

The second free PS4 game is The Witness, an exploration puzzle game where players venture through an open world on an island, progressing by solving the many puzzles they encounter. The Witness was first released in early 2016.

Both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witness have Platinum trophies to unlock. Among the two, The Witness is arguably the quickest and easiest if following a guide to solve the puzzles, requiring about 10 hours to complete.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has no online trophies, and a mission select which means no missable trophies. The difficulty is average with the exception of one trophy- Mile High Club – which fortunately can be made easier through the use of a glitch. The Platinum requires about 12-15 hours depending on skills.

This line-up of PlayStation Plus Free Games March 2019 will be available for download on Tuesday, March 5.

On the PlayStation 4, there’s For Honor, a hack n’slash where knights, vikings, and samurai battle in a medieval setting. And Season 1 of Hitman, the 2016 stealth game told in an episodic format.

For the PlayStation 3, there’s the 2008 Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the stealth action title by Hideo Kojima, and has been revamped with trophy support. And Divekick, a 2D comical fighting game which parodies other games in the same genre. Divekick is a cross-plat with the PS Vita.

And on the PlayStation Vita, there’s Gunhouse, a cross between a tower-defense and puzzle game where players must defend orphans against an alien invasion. Gunhouse is also a cross-plat with the PS4. And Rogue Aces, an air combat game where players face off against the Baron in order to liberate some islands.

Among the PlayStation Plus Free Games February 2019 titles, For Honor, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and Rogue Aces have Platinum trophies to unlock.

Among these, the Platinum for Rogue Aces is not too difficult once you get the hang of the controls, and requires only around 18 hours. For Honor is is of average difficulty, but requires at least 60 hours for the Platinum, while Metal Gear Solid 4 can be quite challenging and needs at least 80 hours.

Also, unlocking 100% of the trophies on Hitman is not particularly difficult and only needs about 20 hours. Divekick is an easy game to get all the trophies as long as you have the patience to grind for over 100 hours online.

It’s the end of one gaming year, and the start of a new one. And Sony has just unveiled their first line-up of freebies for next year. So without further ado, here is the PlayStation Plus Free Games January 2019 list.

For the PlayStation 4, there’s Steep, an online-only extreme sports game where players ski, snowboard, and paraglide over the mountains in an open-world environment. And Portal Knights, a survival action role-playing game which combines crafting with RPG elements.

For the PlayStation Vita, there’s Fallen Legion: Flames of the Rebellion, an action RPG where players venture through a world to seek out a stolen item from the Empire. Fallen Legion: Flames of the Rebellion is also a cross-plat with the PS4. And Super Mutant Alien Assault, a shoot em up involving a security robot fighting to save humanity.

Among the PlayStation Plus Free Games January 2019 line-up, only Super Mutant Alien Assault does not have a Platinum trophy to unlock. In fact, since Zone of the Enders HD Collection is two games in one, this also means two Platinum trophies.

Among these, Portal Knights is the easiest Platinum to unlock, though will require around 45 hours of gaming. Also, while both games in the Zone of the Enders HD Collection are a little challenging at times, though not very time consuming.
