During tonight's State of Play, Sony has unveiled several games coming to PlayStation Plus' Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers in the coming weeks and months.
Sony is doing something a tad different when it comes to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium this month.
During tonight's State of Play, Sony confirmed February's Extra tier headliner but its still yet to actually reveal February's full line-up. Instead, we received several teases of random drops due to land in the coming weeks.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be coming to PlayStation Plus Extra next week.
Yes, leaker bilbill-kun did steal the State of Play's thunder by revealing this a few days ago, but it's still nice to know that the leak was accurate.

Alongside that, it was confirmed that Tekken Dark Resurrection is landing on the Premium tier in March, bringing back the epic 2005 PSP title. It'll likely land midway through the month during the usual Premium drop.
Then Time Crisis will arrive on the Premium tier in May, again likely midway through the month. This one I'm sure will be popular, given the game's passionate following.
Finally, the State of Play revealed that Big Walk is coming to the Essential tier at some point this year.
Big Walk is an upcoming indie that classes itself as a co-operative walker designed to be played with friends. It's clearly a day one launch as it doesn't have a release date yet so I'm imagining that's why PS Plus arrival details are vague.
What we didn't get was the full Extra and Premium line-up for February. It didn't land yesterday during its usual spot and it wasn't announced during the State of Play. Perhaps tomorrow? We'll bring that news to you when it lands.
When the line-up is confirmed, those games will become available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on Tuesday 17 February, where they will remain until removal from the service after the licences expire, which is typically in a year or two.
Last month, PlayStation Plus Extra added Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Resident Evil Village, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, Darkest Dungeon 2, A Little to the Left, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, The Exit 8, and art of rally.
Meanwhile, Premium only received one game, Ridge Racer, specifically its PS1 port of the 1993 arcade game.
