"Disappointing" PlayStation Plus March 2022 Free Games Unveiled Early

Welcome back, Dealabs! I have to be honest, I was starting to get a little worried that something had happened to our PlayStation Plus leaker.

For the last seven or eight months in 2021, the a forum user by the name of billbil-kun over at French outlet managed to reliably leak the free PlayStation Plus games with pinpoint accuracy. This was usually just a few days before Sony would officially announce the lineup.

Nobody knew how they were doing it or how Sony was allowing it to happen, but after the January and February 2022 PS Plus games managed to be announced without any prior leaks, it was assumed that billbil-kun's astounding run was over.

As it turns out, we needn't have worried. Our friend billbil-kun is back once again like the renegade master they are, with what looks to be March 2022's free PlayStation Plus games.

While billbil-kun usually shares the PS Plus games over on the website's main page, this time they took a more subtle approach and posted the news in the site's forum.

“Hello or good evening to all,” they wrote. “I’ve been interested in Ark Survival Evolved and Team Sonic Racing recently, and I want to buy them to play them on my PS5. Knowing that I don’t really have any money, I’m hesitant to buy them. But hey, in the end, maybe I’ll wait until the beginning of next month.”

The implication is clear: billbil-kun is telling us what the PlayStation Plus free games for March 2022 are without actually telling us. Is them attempting to steer clear of Sony's wrath? We'd assume so.

Ark Survival Evolved and Team Sonic Racing are both pretty great games, too, although some users on the PlayStation Plus subreddit are already calling the lineup disappointing. I guess compared to previous March lineups it kind of is? But it's also a step up from last month's debacle.

It's also worth noting that there's usually a third game in the mix these days. We'd imagine Ark Survival Evolved and Team Sonic Racing are PS4 freebies, with the PS5-exclusive yet to be announced. Current rumours suggest it may well be the recently released brawler Sifu, but we'll have to wait and see.
