ARK: Survival Evolved and more hit PlayStation Plus in March

PlayStation revealed its PS Plus games for the month of March, including ARK: Survival Evolved.

Sony announced its PlayStation Plus lineup of free games coming to the service in March. They include the massively multiplayer online title ARK: Survival Evolved, the Sonic the Hedgehog racing spinoff Team Sonic Racing, Ghostrunner, and Ghosts of Tsushima: Legends.

The new titles will be available to claim starting on March 1. Each of these titles is free to anyone subscribed to PlayStation Plus, which also allows players to access online multiplayer and various deals from the PlayStation store.

ARK: Survival Evolved is the most prolific title in the pack. This MMO survival game places players on a mysterious island abundant in dangerous forces that includes dinosaurs. It’s become one of the more unique titles in the survival game genre and the multiplayer aspect keeps things interesting.

For fans of racing, Sonic the Hedgehog, or Mario Kart ripoffs, there’s Team Sonic Racing, a game that takes the formula seen in Sonic Sega All-Stars Racing, but removes all the non-Sonic racers. What sets this game apart is the teamwork mechanic that allows players to share power-ups and speed boosts.

The final two titles of the month are Ghostrunner, a first-person parkour action game, and Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, an online multiplayer spinoff of the hit Ghost of Tsushima.

With the addition of this slate of games, last month’s titles are set to leave. PS Plus subscribers have until Monday, February 28, to download EA Sports UFC 4, Planet Coaster: Console Edition, and the Borderlands spinoff Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventure.

Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.

Why does this run so well on Apple devices?

The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.

After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
