Are you a PlayStation Plus subscriber on the hunt for free PS4 games? Welcome! We've rounded up all the free games and discounts for the month of March down below so you can enter 2018 in style - plus, you'll find the deals from prior months, too.
The best perks of being a PlayStation Plus subscriber is that, each month, you’re given a range of free games across the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita platforms.
This is a great way to try games you might not otherwise have played, whether because they're indie titles that slip under your radar or simply because you don’t have the funds to buy several games a month.
Even if you don’t plan to play them straight away, or you’re not sure if they’re your kind of game, we’d say it’s always worth claiming them while you can get them for free; you'll then have access to them for as long as you have an active PS Plus account.
Since this is a monthly event, we’ve decided to create a one-stop shop where you’ll be able to find the newest free games, as well as scroll back and see which games were featured in previous months. That way you’ll know whether it’s worth holding out for a game to appear in an upcoming PlayStation Plus haul or if it's already been offered.
So without further ado, here are the free PlayStation Plus games in North America, Europe and Australia for March 2018.
March 2018
March 2018 promises to be one the biggest months for free PS Plus games to date, with FromSoftware's classic PS4-exclusive Bloodborne leading the charge, followed by Insomniac's excellent Ratchet & Clank reboot.

Ratchet & Clank - PS4 - usually $19.99 / £29.99 / AU$52.95
