PlayStation Plus free download is one of 2024's best-looking games

If you have a PlayStation Plus subscription then you have access to a wealth of entertainment.

In case you’ve forgotten, the latest drop of essential tier games has now arrived.

You can get your hands on Little Nightmares II ahead of the launch of its sequel next year, MLB The Show 24, and day one release Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.

The next extra and premium tier additions are due to be announced on 11 September but do we already know that The Plucky Squire will be included as yet another day one launch.

If you’re a subscriber to the premium tier, it’s well worth keeping an eye on the game trials library.

It’s a great way of checking out pricey new releases that you may not want to instantly splash out £70 on.

There’s a bit of something for everyone, from The Last of Us Part II: Remastered to Baldur’s Gate 3 but today, I’d like to highlight one of the year’s most underrated gems.

I’m talking about Ultros.

ICYMI: Take a look at the trailer for the aforementioned Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions below.

Developed by Hadoque, Ultros is a psychedelic metroidvania that boasts some incredible visuals.

The premise is this. You wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus, a cosmic uterus - stick with me - holding an ancient, demonic being.

It’s up to you to explore The Sarcophagus, uncover its secrets, and discover what your role is in breaking its cycle of rebirth.

GAMINGbible’s Ewan Moore rated the game an eight in our review, writing, “It’s unashamedly bizarre, and isn’t afraid to make players work to dig through its squelchy layers to find its shimmering, beating heart. But if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, Ultros is a breath of fresh air for an increasingly crowded genre, and one of 2024’s strangest surprises.”

The good news is that premium subscribers of PlayStation Plus can now enjoy a one-hour free trial.

As always, any progress will carry over into the full release should you choose to pick the game up.

It’s somewhat annoying to see this trial hidden behind a paywall when the game’s demo is totally free on Steam, no subscription needed, but I suppose it’s better than no trial at all.
