March 2025 Sees a Significant Decline in PS Plus Player Count
Data indicates that March's free PS Plus games are less appealing to subscribers compared to the previous months.
Summary
- The March 2025 free PS Plus games were not as popular as the offerings from January or February.
- Data from True Trophies and Game Trends shows a 15.2% decline in player count from February.
- There’s also a noticeable decrease compared to January’s free games.
It appears that PlayStation Plus subscribers are not as keen on the March 2025 free games compared to their February counterparts. PlayStation Plus members, regardless of tier, receive a new selection of free games at the start of each month. However, the genres, budgets, and popularity of these titles can vary significantly, making it hard to predict monthly offerings.
So far in 2025, three sets of free PS Plus games have been released:
- January 2025: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.
- February 2025: Payday 3, High on Life, and Pac-Man World: Re-Pac.
- March 2025: Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.
Reports from True Trophies and Game Trends indicate that March 2025’s free PS Plus games saw a 15.2% drop in player count versus February and a 10.8% drop versus January. Surprisingly, the better reception for the March games did not enhance their player counts.
It will be intriguing to observe whether this downward trend persists in April 2025 or if there’s a rebound. The details of the April 2025 free PS Plus games will be unveiled next week, although we do know that PS Plus Extra will feature a day-one game on April 10 titled Blue Prince.
