The PlayStation Now roster for February 22o22 is led by Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition, which PlayStation has revealed. This comes on the heels of another great month for the streaming service, with Mortal Kombat 11 and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age leading the way in January. Given recent speculations regarding Sony’s ambitions for the service, it’s unclear how long the publisher will be able to keep up the momentum.
Bloomberg reported late last year that Sony had begun working on a new subscription plan that would combine PS Plus and PS Now into one entity. The revamped programme, internally dubbed Spartacus, is expected to start with three tiers, the lowest of which would feature all of PS Plus’ current set of benefits. The second tier will provide consumers access to a large collection of PS4 and PS5 games. The third tier is said to include PS Now-style streaming, game demos, and a selection of PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 titles.
Sony has yet to respond to the Spartacus service rumours, so it should come as no surprise that news about existing PlayStation services continues to circulate as usual. Four titles will be available on PlayStation Now on February 1st, according to a post on the official PlayStation Twitter account. The most noticeable new addition is GTA: Vice City – The Definitive Edition.
According to the PlayStation Blog, the puzzle game Death Squared, the sandbox adventure Little Big Workshop, and the strategy game Through the Darkest Times make out the February roster and will be available on PS Now indefinitely. GTA: Vice City, on the other hand, will only be available on PlayStation Now until May 2. Despite the numerous faults plaguing GTA: Definitive Edition, Vice City is an excellent addition to the PlayStation service. Death Squared’s co-op mechanics suggest that it will be most enjoyable when played with pals.
The tabletop manufacturing premise of Little Big Workshop introduces a fresh brand of fun to the PS Now library as well. Meanwhile, Through the Darkest of Times casts players as members of a resistance group in Berlin in 1933, the same year Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. GTA: Vice City – The Definitive Edition was released late last year to mixed reviews, owing in large part to a slew of technical faults across all platforms. While Rockstar Games and developer Grove Street Games continue to attempt to smooth out the glitches, some players have found joy in the collection’s flaws.
