Sony just dropped a massive announcement that’s going to make PlayStation Plus subscribers very happy. If you’ve been holding off on buying Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, your patience is about to pay off big time.
The gaming giant revealed the complete PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup for February 2026 during their State of Play event earlier today, and it’s headlined by one of the most anticipated additions in recent memory.
The Big News: Spider-Man 2 Swings Into PlayStation Plus
Let’s cut to the chase – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is coming to PlayStation Plus on February 17, 2026. Yes, you read that right. Insomniac Games’ blockbuster PS5 exclusive that had everyone talking last year is finally joining the subscription service.
For those who missed out on the hype, this isn’t just any Spider-Man game. You get to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, switching between the two web-slingers as you explore a massively expanded version of New York City.
The game introduced some seriously cool new mechanics too. The Web Wings feature completely changes how you traverse the city, making swinging through Manhattan feel even more exhilarating than before. And let’s not forget the story – without spoiling anything, it’s an emotional rollercoaster that long time Spider-Man fans absolutely need to experience.
9 More Games Join the PlayStation Plus Lineup
While Spider-Man 2 is obviously stealing the spotlight, Sony isn’t messing around with the rest of the February catalog. They’re adding nine more titles across PS5, PS4, and even throwing in a nostalgic PS2 classic for Premium members.
PS5 Games That Deserve Your Attention
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is perfect if you’re into racing games with a twist. This isn’t your typical lap-after-lap racer. The game features a shared open world where you can cruise around, compete, and build your car collection. Think of it as a racing MMO, and you’re on the right track.
Neva is for the emotionally brave among us. This beautifully crafted game takes you on a journey through a world that’s slowly dying. It’s the kind of game that hits you right in the feels while delivering stunning visuals and atmospheric gameplay. Bring tissues.
Season: A Letter to the Future offers something completely different. Imagine hopping on a bicycle and just riding. But it’s not just about the ride – you’re documenting a world on the brink of change, capturing memories before they disappear. It’s meditative, thoughtful, and absolutely gorgeous.
Rugby 25 joins the sports lineup, giving rugby fans their fix of hard-hitting action. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the sport or curious newcomer, this one’s got you covered.
Venba is a heartwarming narrative cooking game that tells the story of an Indian immigrant family. Through cooking traditional recipes, you’ll experience their journey, struggles, and triumphs. It’s short, sweet, and incredibly moving.
Echoes of the End: Enhanced Edition rounds out the PS5 offerings with its mysterious post-apocalyptic setting and engaging gameplay.
PS4 Gets Double Monster Hunter Action
Here’s where things get interesting for Monster Hunter fans. Sony is adding both Monster Hunter Stories and Monster Hunter Stories 2 to the catalog.
These aren’t your typical Monster Hunter games. Instead of the action-heavy gameplay the series is known for, these are turn-based RPGs where you actually befriend and raise monsters. Think Pokémon, but with Monster Hunter’s signature creatures.
The timing couldn’t be better either. Monster Hunter Stories 3 is launching next month, so these additions give newcomers a perfect opportunity to jump into the series before the new release.
Premium Members Get a Pixar Classic
PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers are getting something special – Disney Pixar Wall-E, the beloved PS2 classic. If you grew up with this adorable little robot, you know exactly why this is exciting.
The game lets you relive Wall-E’s adventure, and while it might not have cutting-edge graphics by today’s standards, there’s something charming about revisiting these older titles.
When Can You Start Playing?
Mark your calendars for February 17, 2026. That’s when all ten games will become available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers.
The downloads will go live on the PlayStation Store, and you’ll be able to access them as long as you maintain an active subscription. Once they’re in your library, you can play them anytime during your subscription period.
What You Need to Know About Access
Here’s the breakdown of who gets what:
PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers won’t get access to these Game Catalog titles. This tier only includes the monthly free games and online multiplayer.
PlayStation Plus Extra members get access to all the main Game Catalog games – that’s Spider-Man 2 and the other PS5 and PS4 titles.
PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers get everything Extra members get, plus the PS2 classic Wall-E and access to game trials and streaming.
If you’re currently on the Essential tier and this lineup has you tempted to upgrade, you can do so anytime through your PlayStation console or the PlayStation website.
Why This Lineup Matters
Sony has been steadily improving the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog since revamping the service. Adding major first-party titles like Spider-Man 2 shows they’re serious about competing with Xbox Game Pass.
For gamers who’ve been on the fence about subscribing, this is exactly the kind of lineup that justifies the monthly cost. You’re getting a game that costs $70 at retail, plus nine other titles, all for your subscription fee.
The variety is impressive too. Racing fans, RPG lovers, indie game enthusiasts, sports gamers, and superhero fans all have something to look forward to. Sony clearly wanted to cast a wide net with this month’s offerings.
The Monster Hunter Connection
Let’s talk about the strategic timing of those Monster Hunter additions. With Monster Hunter Stories 3 launching in March 2026, bringing the first two games to PS Plus is a smart move.
It gives curious players a chance to experience the series without spending extra money. If they fall in love with the games (and many will), they’re more likely to purchase the third installment when it drops.
This kind of synergy between Game Catalog additions and upcoming releases is something we’ll probably see more of. It benefits both players and publishers – players get to try games risk-free, and publishers build hype for new releases.
How Does This Compare to Recent Months?
Sony has been on a roll with Game Catalog additions lately. While not every month brings a blockbuster like Spider-Man 2, the consistent quality and variety have been impressive.
What makes February 2026 stand out is the combination of a massive AAA title with several critically acclaimed indie games and that strategic Monster Hunter double feature. It’s a well-balanced lineup that should appeal to different types of gamers.
Storage Space Heads Up
Here’s a practical tip: start clearing some space on your PS5 now. Spider-Man 2 alone is going to take a significant chunk of your storage, and if you want to download multiple games from this lineup, you’ll need room.
The game clocks in at around 100GB, so if your storage is already tight, consider deleting games you’ve finished or moving some to an external drive.
What Happens to Games Already in Your Library?
If you purchased Spider-Man 2 or any of these other games before they joined PS Plus, don’t worry – you still own them outright. The difference is that PS Plus subscribers who add them to their library will only have access as long as they maintain their subscription.
Your purchased copy is yours forever, regardless of your subscription status.
Final Thoughts
February 2026 is shaping up to be an excellent month for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Whether you’re here for Spider-Man 2 or any of the other nine titles, there’s genuine value in this lineup.
The variety ensures that even if superhero games aren’t your thing, you’ll find something worth playing. And for those who’ve been waiting to play Spider-Man 2, your wait is almost over.
Ready to Swing into Action?
Don’t have PlayStation Plus yet? Now’s the perfect time to subscribe. Head over to the PlayStation Store and choose the tier that’s right for you. Remember, you’ll need at least the Extra tier to access these Game Catalog titles.
Already a subscriber? Pre-load some of these games if you can, and clear that storage space. February 17 is just around the corner, and you’re going to want to jump in immediately.
