Last December, Bandai Namco made the surprise reveal of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve at The Game Awards show. PlayStation Plus subscribers can get their hands on the previous entry in the air combat simulator, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, in February as part of their membership perks.
PlayStation Plus, which is Sony’s version of Xbox Game Pass, offers a large, constantly expanding library of games. Subscribers can choose from the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers, each with unique perks and benefits. Starting at $10 a month, the plans give subscribers access to monthly games and rewards, and each month, all subscribers can access a handful of games at no additional charge.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you have until March 2 to add these games to your account so you can play them later as long as you stay subscribed.
