PS Plus subscribers are in for an extra week's wait for February 2023's freebies thanks to how calendars work.
The monthly PS Plus free games for the Essential tier are usually revealed on the last Wednesday of each month and are available on the service the following Tuesday. This is very handy information to know if you like to keep an eye on the dates for games coming and going, as we explained in our PS Plus explainer. But Wednesday has been and gone, and there's been no update on the PlayStation blog.
It's safe to assume, with next week being the last week of January, that the PS Plus games for February 2023 will be announced on Wednesday, February 1 at the usual time of 4.30pm GMT / 11.30am ET / 8.30am PT. That means we won't see the new additions land on the service until the following week, on Tuesday, February 7.
