Sony has revealed the full line-up of PlayStation Plus Games Catalog additions for February 2024, which includes Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Need for Speed Unbound, and more.

Announced on the PlayStation Blog, a total of 13 games are joining the library: nine in the Games Catalog available to Extra and Premium members and four in the Classic Games Catalog only available to Premium members.

February includes a solid number of role-playing games, with other highlights including Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds and a handful of entries in the beloved Tales series, such as Tales of Arise and Tales of Vesperia.

Need for Speed Unbound is the latest entry in the long-running street racing franchise. Turning up the arcade elements to the max, Unbound includes over the top, anime-style graphics as the player overcomes rivals, avoids the cops, and more. It earned a 7/10 in IGN's review: "Need for Speed Unbound hasn’t strayed very far from the fundamentals of 2019’s Heat, but its bold new animated style impresses," we said.

Obsidian's The Outer Worlds has the player explore a bright and colourful sci-fi universe with Fallout style gameplay, and similarly features a rampant storyline revolving around myriad factions all fighting for power. "With The Outer Worlds, Obsidian has found its own path in the space between Bethesda and BioWare's RPGs, and it’s a great one," we said in our 8/10 review.

The latest entry in the beloved RPG franchise from Bandai Namco, Tales of Arise tells the story of a young man wielding the Blazing Sword and an untouchable girl fighting their oppressors. "With an excellent story and cast and a reinvigorated combat system, Tales of Arise is the shot in the arm the long-running Tales RPG series needed to recapture its best moments," IGN said in our 9/10 review.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the 2020 entry in the long running and popular franchise in which players take on the role of Eivor, a Viking raider who does as much screaming and smashing as they do sneaking and stealth. In our 8/10 review, IGN said: "Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a massive, beautiful open world fuelled by brutal living and the dirty work of conquerors. It's a lot buggier than it should be but also impressive on multiple levels."

In a full circle the moment, LEGO inspired Minecraft and Minecraft inspired LEGO Worlds. Players spawn in procedurally generated worlds made wholly of LEGO bricks and can destroy and build as much as they like. "LEGO Worlds is full of surprises to discover and has a great editor, but also bad combat and exploitable quest design," we said in our 7/10 review.

In a more classic case of LEGO game goodness, LEGO Jurassic Park takes the traditional route by letting players work through a collection
