The new PlayStation Plus February 2017 games will go live in the coming hours
UPDATE ONE: The new PlayStation Plus February 2017 lineup of game is set to go live in the next few hours, bringing with it another six games to download across the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita.
This includes LittleBigPlanet 3 and Not a Hero on PS4 Starwhal and Anna — Extended Edition on PS3, and Ninja Senki DX and TorqueL on PS Vita.
It should also be noted that several of these titles can also be downloaded and played on PS4, due to Sony CrossBuy, in fact, the only game not playable on PlayStation 4 is Anna — Extended Edition.
February's Games with Gold and PS Plus lineups are both strong, although Xbox One just about edges it, especially when you factor in hits like Monkey Island 2 and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a wonderfully hypnotic co-op couch adventure that's more than just a little bit addictive, while Project Cars is one of the deepest and most accomplished racing games available today.
But that's not to say PS4 owners should feel disappointed. Not a Hero is a stylish shooter that packs a real punch, and it's hard not to love LittleBigPlanet 3.

Sony have confirmed that the PlayStation Store will be refreshed on Tuesday, February 7, meaning that this month’s six PS Plus games split across PS4, PS3 and PS Vita will be launched on that date.

- Anna — Extended Edition – PS3

And fans may experience something similar at the end of this month too, with the PlayStation Store refresh set for the first Tuesday of each month, it means that fans will have to wait until March 7 for their new games to arrive.
LittleBigPlanet 3: “Available for all PS Plus members this month, this is one of the most imaginative games on PlayStation, full of platforming adventure and excitement.
“After you’ve explored the Imagisphere, flex your creative muscle and bring your own imagination to life or play one of the millions of original creations from the LBP Community.”
Not a Hero: “Play as Steve, a professional assassin turned amateur campaign manager as he cleans for his boss, an anthropomorphic rabbit and mayoral candidate from the future named Bunny Lord.
“Run, jump, shoot, and cut your way through this white-knuckle campaign.”
Fallout 4 is FINALLY getting its PS4 Pro patch next week, along with mods changes.
Bethesda has announced plans to release new updates for Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4, both of which will improve mods and make the game worlds even better looking than before.
The highlight for PS4 Pro users is a patch that provides enhanced lighting and graphic features, but not 4K resolution.
It should also be noted that Fallout 4 update 1.9 is actually currently available to download on PC as part of the usual Steam beta program.
The Fallout 4 PS4 Pro patch includes the following enhancements:
- Native 1440p resolution
- Enhanced draw distance for trees, grass, objects and NPCs
- Enhanced Godray effects
That's on top of new mod features announced by Bethesda that's coming to both Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition.
"Next week, we’re rolling out new updates for both Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC," reads a Bethesda post. "Both games are bringing new features to Mod content (more on that next week)."
The Conan Exiles PS4 version is a project that developers Funcom are hoping to take on the future but just how likely is it to get off the ground?
Funcom told fans during a recent Reddit AMA session that they are not ready to discuss a PS4 version of the game as they are still busy preparing to launch it on Xbox One.

Conan Exiles: Out now on PC Early Access and coming to Xbox One Spring 2017:

Conan Exiles is currently available on PC early access
They have also stipulated that they do not believe Conan Exiles will be in Early Access for over a year, meaning that they could switch their attentions to a PS4 version by the end of 2017.
However, Funcom do hope to launch on PlayStation 4 eventually, telling fans on Reddit: "Yes, eventually. Our focus is PC, then Xbox Game Preview to launch in spring and then PS4 sometime afterwards."
One of the barriers leading to just Conan Exiles on Xbox One and PC being announced is that the PS4 platform has in the past not allowed for early access projects to be released on its platform.
This recently changed with the introduction of ARK: Survival Evolved, which could prove great news for those excited about Conan.
There is the chance that Conan Exiles could arrive before its full release if it has reached a certain point in its development cycle.
However, it’s unclear if PlayStation now decide if projects can launch on a case-by-case basis, or if the release of ARK was just a one-time deal.
