Heavy-Hitters in March's PlayStation Plus Game Catalog

UFC 5 (PS5)

MMA fans can step into the Octagon with UFC 5, which delivers some of the most realistic fight mechanics in the series. Built on EA's Frostbite engine, this installment offers improved animations, advanced damage modeling, and more fluid striking mechanics. Whether you're throwing precise jabs, setting up takedowns, or weathering a brutal counterattack, the game captures the intensity of real-world UFC fights like never before.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS4, PS5)

This latest entry in the Prince of Persia franchise introduces a new protagonist, Sargon, and a mythology-rich world inspired by ancient Persia. The game blends acrobatic swordplay, time-based abilities, and puzzle-solving as players battle corrupted enemies across beautifully designed landscapes. It's a fresh take on the classic action-adventure formula while staying true to the series' roots.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions (PS4)

If traditional soccer games feel a little too grounded for you, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions dials up the energy with its arcade-style, anime-inspired gameplay. Based on the beloved Captain Tsubasa series, this game brings over-the-top special moves, fast-paced action, and a story mode that mirrors the anime's epic matches. Whether you want to relive Tsubasa's journey or create your own soccer star, this game has plenty to offer.

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy (PS4, PS5)

Set in the Gundam universe, this single-player action game follows the Noisy Fairy unit, a team fighting in the One Year War. Players command mobile suits in intense battles while engaging in a story-driven campaign that explores the war's impact on the characters involved.

Arcade Paradise (PS4, PS5)

Part business sim, part retro gaming collection, Arcade Paradise puts players in charge of turning a rundown laundromat into a thriving arcade. Manage finances, buy arcade machines, and even play over 35 fully functional games. It's a nostalgic journey into '90s gaming culture with a business twist.

Bang-On Balls: Chronicles (PS4, PS5)

This quirky 3D platformer lets players control a bouncing hero named BOB, rolling through historically themed open worlds. With destructible environments, chaotic combat, and online co-op for up to four players, it's a fun and lighthearted take on action platforming.

You Suck at Parking (PS4, PS5)

Forget speed-this game is all about parking precision. With over 270 creative and increasingly difficult levels, players must navigate tight turns, obstacles, and physics-based challenges to land their car in just the right spot.

Syberia - The World Before (PS4, PS5)

This story-driven adventure follows two protagonists: Kate Walker, a New York attorney drawn into an unexpected journey, and Dana Roze, a pianist navigating the turmoil of World War II. The game blends steampunk aesthetics with deep storytelling, making it a must-play for fans of narrative-driven games.

PlayStation Plus Premium Brings Back Classic Armored Core Games & Arcade Paradise VR

Arcade Paradise VR (PS VR2)

This VR edition of Arcade Paradise offers a fully immersive arcade management experience. Players can take their laundromat-turned-arcade empire into virtual reality, playing 12 classic arcade cabinets in VR while managing their growing business.

Armored Core Trilogy (PS4, PS5)

Long before Elden Ring and Sekiro, FromSoftware was known for its Armored Core series, a franchise built around customizable mechs and intense combat missions. PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can revisit the original trilogy that set the stage for modern mech action:

• Armored Core (1997) - The debut game that introduced highly customizable mechs and mission-based combat.

• Armored Core: Project Phantasma (1998) - A sequel that expands on the original, adding a new underground facility and rival characters.

• Armored Core: Master of Arena (1999) - Focused on arena-style battles, where players test their skills against enemy pilots in high-stakes combat.

With the Game Catalog expanding on March 18, both Extra and Premium members have plenty to look forward to this month.
