00:00PS Plus Users Claiming 3 Months Free Games with 1 Month Sub

00:04PS5, PS4 players are using a clever trick to claim 3 months worth of PS Plus Essential

00:10Free Games with a 1 month subscription.

00:13While the games do require an active membership to play, we see why some folks are resorting

00:18to using this trick, and we are quite impressed with it.

00:21It's all about timing.

00:22There are several occasions during the year when the first Tuesday of the month, when

00:26Essential Games Go Live, falls on a day that allows users to claim monthly lineups for

00:31the previous month, current month, and following month with a 1 month subscription.

00:35January 2026 was one such occasion, as highlighted by Reddit user MaxSteel126.

00:41If you purchased a month-long PS Plus Essential Membership on January 5th, you would have been

00:46able to claim December 2025's free games.

00:49Today, January's lineup went live, so you can claim those freebies too.

00:53February's lineup will go live on Tuesday, February 3rd, two days before your sub in

00:58this specific example will expire.

01:00So you'll also be able to claim February's free games too.

01:04That makes 3 months and an average of 9 games.

01:06As for why players are doing this, considering the games can't be accessed without a subscription,

01:11and 1 month wouldn't be enough to play most of the games, the comments do a good job of

01:15explaining the rationale.

01:17I've been doing similar stuff for the past year while tackling my endless backlog.

01:20I'll pause the backlog every other month and play a PS Plus title or two, then right back

01:25to the backlog, wrote one player, explaining that it's cheaper than buying a 12-month subscription.

01:31They are locked to your account for a time when maybe you want to play them, another explained.

01:35Since essential games remain in players' libraries, this makes sense.
