PlayStation has revealed the PlayStation Plus lineup for February which includes the Day One Release of Foamstars. The Splatoon-like foam shooter includes both PS5 and PS4 versions. Also included in February’s lineup is third-person shooter-skater Rollerdome which also includes both PS5 and PS4 versions, and Steelrising, an action RPG set in alternate history Paris. Steelrising is not available on PS4, so will only be downloadable on PS5.
Day One Release and two solid titles
All titles will become free to download for PlayStation Plus subscribers on February 6, which is also the same day Foamstars releases. Published by Square Enix, Foamstars is hoping it can compete with Splatoon for the genre of goofy games where you compete to cover the map in your foam as opposed to your enemies.
Rollerdrome on the other hand released on August 16, 2022, and allows players to put on their heavy-duty roller gear and compete in the brutal blood sport of Rollerdrome. As you zoom around the Rollerdrome arena you’re tasked with shooting other contestants. Taking them out grants you health, while performing tricks in the arena gives you ammo. Destructoid’s CJ Andriessen gave Rollerdrome a solid 8.5, saying: “This is an exceptional and welcoming game, one that takes the best elements from both skater and competitive shooter genres and combines them into a sophisticated and unabashedly cool experience.”
In Steelrising, players travel to an alternate history Paris where the French Revolution has been suppressed by a robotic army. The action RPG puts players in the role of Aegis, an automaton, as she explores the streets and rooftops of a Steampunk Paris, fighting off technological marvels along the way.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will also get access to an exclusive PS+ Fall Guys Icon Pack that grants Fall Guys costumes for a handful of PlayStation characters including Ratchet, Clank, and Aloy. Premium and Deluxe subscribers also get a 2 hour Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Game Trial.
