PlayStation Plus monthly games for March, from Dragon Age: The Veilguard to Sonic Colors: Ultimate

Dragon Age: The Veilguard - (EA)

Sony has announced the games coming to PlayStation Plus’s monthly games collection in March, and there’s one title that might make you want to resubscribe.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5 only), Sonic Colors: Ultimate and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection are our three games for the month.

They will be available from March 4 and, as we say every month, this is your last chance to grab this month’s games before they vanish: High on Life, Payday 3 and Pac-Man World Re-Pac.

As these are the PlayStation Plus monthly selection, they are available to all tiers of PlayStation Plus members. Once you claim them, they become part of your digital library, accessible as long as you have an active Plus subscription.

Let’s take a closer look at these titles.

PlayStation Plus monthly games for March

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the real shocker of an addition this month. It only came out on October 31, 2024, was years in development and sadly hugely underperformed compared to publisher EA’s expectations.

It stirred up a lot of hate from the internet troll brigade, but was generally well-reviewed. It averaged 82 per cent on Metacritic. That’s just slightly below the original and Dragon Age: Inquisition, beating the now mostly beloved Dragon Age 2.

But what is it? Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an epic fantasy role-playing game in which you lead a team of adventurers to stop the end of the world. Classic stuff.

Next up, Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a remaster of a game originally released for Nintendo Wii. It’s Sonic in his most controversial guise: 3D.

Sonic Colors features a mix of 3D and 3D platforming, though, so you do get plenty of that classic Sonic gameplay. Worth a try if you have even the slightest amount of affection for Sonic, and there’s a whole new generation of those people thanks to the huge success of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies.

Finally, we get another slice of retro in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. This is a XL-size pack of 13 Turtles games, from the arcade, the NES, SNES, Megadrive and Gameboy. And, yes, the two original arcade classics are in there, the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and 1991’s Turtles in Time. Here’s the full list:

It’s ideal for some quick-blast gaming, particularly if you were playing back in the 1990s.
