Unfortunately, PlayStation will be pulling one of its most popular freebies in May, so hop to it if you're yet to claim this collection of excellent games on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. Or both, you lucky so-and-sos.
The announcement for the expiry was actually buried at the bottom of the blog post for PlayStation Plus' games for February, which is slightly sneaky. Those are OlliOlliWorld, Evil Dead: The Game, Destiny 2: Beyond Light and Mafia: The Definitive Edition. Like the perpetuity of a DFS sale, I don't recall a time when Mafia: The Definitive Edition wasn't on offer somewhere, but statistically speaking, there must be a handful of people who haven't played it yet. OlliOlliWorld is magnificently fun with a gorgeous cartoony graphics that imbue every flip, skid and splat with irreverence - we gave it a 9 out of 10 in our review. On the other hand, Evil Dead: The Game is everything it says on the tin and that's music to the ears of fans who are looking for schlocky scares in co-op and PVP encounters. And, expectedly, the DLC Beyond Light will only work as long as you have Destiny 2 already. I imagine that's a fair few of you reading this.

While the focus might have been on February's games, there's a short statement regarding the status of the PlayStation Plus Collection. To the uninitiated, this Collection was intended to welcome new players to the inimitable library of its games as well as act as a little goodie bag for those upgrading from PS4 to PS5. You were treated to exclusives like Days Gone, God of War and The Last of Us Remastered as well as third-party gems like Batman: Arkham Knight, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Until Dawn for the low, low price of a PlayStation Plus subscription.

"On May 9 the PlayStation Plus Collection will no longer be offered. If you haven’t redeemed the titles in this collection yet, you can still do so until May 9, which will enable you to access those titles even after this date for as long as you remain a PlayStation Plus member," said Sony. You have had two years to add this collection to your console, which some might say is a long time. However, life happens, and let this be a reminder that if you haven't already done so, claim the PlayStation Plus Collection before May 9. You'll kick yourself otherwise.
