The new PlayStation Plus February 2017 games lineup will be joined by a Paragon booster pack
UPDATE ONE: While fans wait to see what new games will be included in the official PlayStation Plus February 2017 lineup, Sony has confirmed one small boost to the program.
A new PlayStation Plus-exclusive Booster Pack is being launched for Paragon, to help celebrate the game's 1st birthday.
The new pack can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store until February 21 and is full of gear to use to help with in-game progress.
Paragon PlayStation Plus Booster Pack includes:
- Moon Viper skin for Khaimera
- 200 Paragon Coins (in-game currency) to grab some skins and emotes.
- 1 Loot Crate and 1 Key
- Open your crate to unlock Rare skins, Emotes, Master Challenges, and more!
- 10-Day EXP Boost – Level up your heroes faster to claim Master Challenge rewards.
- 10-Day Rep Boost – Gain more reputation to spend on card packs and more.
The current list of PlayStation Plus January games remain available to download until the first Tuesday of next month, which is when Sony usually refresh the PlayStation Store and bring in their new crop of free titles.
It’s unclear if this month's PlayStation Plus free games list might fall a little differently, as the first Tuesday of the month will be February 7, quite a while for fans to wait.
There’s also a chance that Sony will skip announcing their plans this week entirely and actually announce their lineup for PlayStation Plus February 2017 on Monday, January 30.

The new PlayStation Plus February 2017 games lineup looks set to be announced this week by Sony.
The past few months have seen the tech giant release the news on Wednesdays so, January 25 seems like a good date for the big drop.
Unlike with Microsoft’s Games with Gold, PlayStation Plus free games all land at the same time and will usually include two games each for the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita platforms.
Recent months have also seen quite a few cross-buy games popup, meaning that they can be played on either the PS Vita, PS3 or PS4.
Unlike other months, there have been no significant leaks revealing what games to expect from Sony. Some Plus subscribers may have be disappointed by January’s selection not including any AAA titles, however, there are still some top indie games to choose from.
PlayStation Plus January 2017 lineup:
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered (PS4, PS Vita)
- This War of Mine: The Little Ones (PS4)
- Blazerush (PS3)
- The Swindle (PS3, PS4, PS Vita)
- Azkend 2
- Titan Souls (PS Vita, PS4)
The Crash Bandicoot PS4 release date for the N. Sane Trilogy may have been leaked AGAIN, although this time it tells a little bit of a different story.
Late in 2016, The Crash Bandicoot PS4 release date was reportedly leaked by a Brazilian retailer, who listed launch for February 28.
There have been obvious doubts raised about the timing, with many pointing out that it would clash with Horizon: Zero Dawn. Now a new leak has arrived that shows a different date, and one that makes a lot more sense.
Having cheered the crowds at last year’s E3, it appears that Activision may be set to use the platform again to show off the game in full. Two retailers based in the Czech Republic have listed the game with a June 30, 2017 release date.
While it’s unclear if this is being used as a mere placeholder, the date of launch does make a compelling case. Launching two weeks after E3 would mean that the game could get a top place on the PS4 stage, before its big day hitting shelves.

Astroneer is the Xbox One's answer to No Man's Sky
Hello Games have promised new No Man’s Sky updates to be launched in 2017 that will help improve the game and the latest appears to have been leaked early.
Days after the release of the Foundation update, fans discovered plans to release ground vehicles in a future patch.
Reddit user eegandj discovered a reference to a buggy in the game's files, but initially couldn't find an actual model.
After more digging around, the No Man's Sky fan then found nods to tire textures, before finally finding a way to see what the buggy might look like in the game.
And now it appears more evidence has been found after dataminers uncovered more details on how the new land vehicles will be unlocked.
According to new reports, ATV are set to be launched in No Man’s Sky, complete with an array of upgrades and weapons.
Mounted guns and vertical boosters will be part of the package, although fans will first have to master how to unlock the new gear.
This will involve some farming, building a terminal and hiring a mechanic, there will also be series of missions to complete so that you can gather the correct materials.
The new land vehicles will be fully upgradable via existing in-game components, which will allow you to add things like Jetpacks, better top-speed, storage and weapons system.
