PS Plus is offering a bonus PS4 game for February 2023 — Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris — for PS Plus Essential subscribers in the Asia region. Lucky PS Plus subscribers in that area will be getting five games this month. The PS Plus Essential games for February 2023 was already set to deliver a bonus game for most subscribers in the shape of Destiny 2's 2020 DLC, Beyond Light. However, it seems lucky PS Plus Essential subscribers in Asian regions will receive a bonus PS4 game this February, and it's hardly one of the best action RPGs on PS5 and PS4, it's the thought that counts.

The SAO games can be a little hit or miss, and it seems Alicization Lycoris is more the latter with complaints of padding and pace issues. These games are always big hits with fans, though — especially in Asia — so we're sure plenty of PS Plus Essential players are thrilled regardless. It feels rather greedy to want yet another title for this month's selection when we already have games like the excellent Mafia Definitive Edition on the way, so we'll just say "lucky you, Asia" and leave it at that. Applicable players can download this month's games on February 7th, 2023 — let us know in the comments if you wish you were eligible for this one, and remember to download your free PS4 games on PS5 before the PS Plus Collection end date arrives.
