Sony officially revealed the full Game Catalog lineup for March 2026 on March 11, 2026 via the PlayStation Blog, and it covers an impressive range of genres from brutal sci-fi action to beloved JRPGs and classic fighters. The lineup was also partially anticipated by reliable dataminer billbil-kun a few days before the official announcement. Whether you have been waiting to finally dive into Persona 5 Royal or want to tear through Tyranid hordes in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, this month delivers. Here is everything confirmed and available from March 17, 2026.

Every PS Plus Extra and Premium Games for March 2026 

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5)

The headline addition for March, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 puts you in the armour of legendary Space Marine Titus as he battles relentless Tyranid swarms across far-flung planets. The game delivers intense third-person action with hundreds of enemies on screen simultaneously, mixing heavy melee combat with explosive gunplay in a way that makes every encounter feel cinematic. Beyond the campaign, the game also offers co-op PvE missions for up to three players and ferocious 6v6 PvP modes across six playable classes.

Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Royal: Ultimate Edition (PS5, PS4)

One of the most celebrated JRPGs of the past decade finally arrives in the Game Catalog. Persona 5 Royal is the expanded and polished version of the 2016 original, adding new characters, story arcs, alternate endings, a grappling hook mechanic for accessing previously unreachable areas, and a reworked third semester. It follows a group of high school students who become the Phantom Thieves, diving into supernatural Palaces to change the hearts of corrupt adults through stylish turn-based combat. The Ultimate Edition adds all DLC content including the Kasumi Costume Bundle, Battle Bundle, and Persona Bundle on top of the base game.

EA Sports Madden NFL 26 (PS5)

EA Sports Madden NFL 26 arrives with its biggest on-field overhaul in years, powered by a new AI machine learning system trained on nearly a decade of real NFL data. The result is more explosive gameplay with player-specific traits, authentic playstyles, and adaptive counters that reflect the real tendencies of NFL quarterbacks and coaches.

Blasphemous 2 (PS5, PS4)

Blasphemous 2 returns The Penitent One to a grotesque world of twisted enemies, titanic bosses, and a labyrinthian Metroidvania structure. With brutal Soulslike combat, haunting pixel art, and full freedom to explore in any direction, the sequel builds meaningfully on the already strong foundation of its predecessor.

Metal Eden (PS5)

Metal Eden is a fast-paced sci-fi FPS that sends the advanced Hyper Unit Aska on a suicide mission into the monolithic city of Moebius. Players blast through waves of mecha troops and elemental forces in cybernetic warfare, uncovering the secrets of the dystopian Project Eden along the way. It stands as one of 2025’s most underrated shooters and arrives in the catalog with well-earned buzz behind it.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (PS5)

Set during the Fourth Age of Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria follows a company of Dwarves summoned by Lord Gimli Lockbearer to reclaim their homeland of Khazad-dûm. The game blends survival crafting with exploration and co-op building, set across a procedurally generated Dwarven realm that changes with every playthrough. It supports both solo play and online co-op.

Astroneer (PS5, PS4)

Astroneer is a creative sandbox space exploration game where players use a deform tool to dig, collect, and shape planets made of clay-like terrain. The game spans a solar system of seven fully explorable planets, each traversable from surface to core. It plays especially well in co-op, where multiple players can collaborate on building massive industrial bases or simply explore at their own pace.

Tekken: Dark Resurrection (PS5, PS4) — Premium Only

The sole PlayStation Plus Premium Classic addition for March is Tekken: Dark Resurrection, the portable version of Tekken 5 originally released for the PSP in 2005. It features unique character story openings and endings, multiple gameplay modes including Tekken Dojo and Gold Rush, and the fan-favourite Tekken Bowl mini-game. A PlayStation Plus Premium subscription is required to access this title.
