The next wave of PS Plus Essentials will be officially revealed by at 4.30pm GMT UK time on the afternoon of February 26.
Made up of three PS4/PS5 games, the PS Plus line-up will be available to download and install from the morning of March 4. Needless to say, the new games will replace the current line-up, which is headlined by multiplayer heist game Payday 3.

In addition to Payday 3, the somewhat disappointing February line-up also features comedy shooter High on Life, as well as platforming remake Pac-Man World Re-Pac.
With a varied selection of levels and gameplay styles, the Pac-Man platformer is actually my favourite of the three PS Plus games.
