Recent Leak Reveal Horizon Forbidden West Is Coming to PS Plus Game Catalog This February
/
[Update - 2/16/2023] Sony has made it official. Horizon Forbidden West will indeed be available for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe subscribers this February as well as 12 other games.
Based on a recent leak, it looks like Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Forbidden West is coming to the PlayStation Plus Game catalog this February 2023. Other titles mentioned in the leak are Scarlet Nexus, Resident Evil 7, and Borderlands 3.
To reiterate: this is not official, as Sony Interactive Entertainment has not officially announced the lineup of games coming to PlayStation Plus’ Game and Classic catalog for February 2023.

The leak comes from the reliable leaker billbil-kun, who has had an impressive track record of revealing the right lineup of games before the official announcement.
He was also the user that announced the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for February 2023 lineup days before Sony made it official, and his previous reveals last year regarding PlayStation Plus have been accurate so far.
The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup for February is incomplete as only five games were mentioned. Based on previous months, PlayStation Plus is usually updated with more than ten games halfway through the month. Last January, the Game Catalog was updated with nine games, while the Classic Catalog was updated with three.
It is said that the PlayStation Plus games coming to the Games Catalog in February 2023 are expected to be available starting February 21.
Regardless, subscribers getting access to Horizon Forbidden West is rather big as it’s one of PlayStation’s high-profile exclusives released only last year. It’s a direct sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn and is an impressive open-world game that improved in all aspects that make the Horizon series a promising franchise. You can read my full review of what I thought of the game and how easily I gave this one a 9/10.
Resident Evil 7 is also a big win as this is the game that brought the series back to its horror roots, and its success resulted in the release of Resident Evil: Village back in 2021.
We’ll update this post if more information is revealed and when Sony makes the official announcement.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
