PlayStation Plus Extra: 2 AAA RPGs Rumored for March—Subscribers Are Losing It
Two AAA RPGs, hundreds of hours of gameplay, zero extra cost. If this rumor pans out, March 2026 could be the month PS Plus Extra subscribers run out of free time—not content.
Final Fantasy XVI and Dragon’s Dogma 2 landing in the same catalog, the same month: that’s the rumor lighting up Reddit since this morning, spreading fast from Twitter/X. The timing is wild, considering Sony just dropped Monster Hunter Rise and three other games for Essential, after an already generous February. Now, all eyes are on Sony for official confirmation.

Final Fantasy XVI and Dragon’s Dogma 2: the rumor setting Reddit on fire
The rumor broke this morning via a Twitter/X post, quickly picked up on the r/PlayStationPlus subreddit. The message is simple but explosive: Final Fantasy XVI and Dragon’s Dogma 2 could both join the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog in March. No official word from Sony yet—so take it with a grain of salt. Still, the post racked up over 600 upvotes, proof the community is hungry for it.
The timing makes this rumor even more believable, as Sony seems to be going all-in on its subscription service. Spider-Man 2 joined the lineup in February, and the momentum isn’t slowing down. Two action RPGs of this caliber in one Extra drop would be a major flex for subscribers—and a serious nudge for anyone still on the fence.

March 2026: already a stacked month with Monster Hunter Rise headlining
Even without this rumor, March was already looking loaded for PS Plus subscribers. On the Essential tier, Sony has confirmed four games available until April 6:
- Monster Hunter Rise, Capcom’s action-RPG hit from 2021
- The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road, unlocking all major chapter zones and quest arcs across Tamriel
- PGA Tour 2K25, for those who love the green
- Slime Rancher 2, the colorful, addictive ranching sim
A lineup that covers a ton of genres, and Monster Hunter Rise alone is a huge draw for aspiring hunters. And that’s even with 6 games leaving the catalog this month. If Final Fantasy XVI and Dragon’s Dogma 2 really do join the Extra tier, the value for money would be impossible to ignore—despite the Tekken 5 controversy on Premium.
Why the FF XVI + Dragon’s Dogma 2 combo would be historic
On their own, either of these games would make for a legendary month. Dragon’s Dogma 2, released in 2024, quickly became one of the year’s best RPGs, praised for its vibrant open world and demanding combat system—modernizing the original while keeping its unique flavor. Final Fantasy XVI made waves with its darker, action-driven take on the Square Enix saga. Together, they easily offer 150+ hours of content for anyone wanting to dive deep.
Reddit is buzzing. One user says: “As a returning PlayStation gamer, I’m eating good right now. Finished Spider-Man Remastered, playing Ghost of Tsushima, and God of War is next. I’ve wanted to play these two for ages.” Another chimes in: “I’ll resub for this. Already platinumed FF16, but being able to add the digital edition to my library and finally try DD2… That’d make it the best month in years.” These reactions show just how much this combo would hit home—for veterans and newcomers alike.
Sony hasn’t dropped the official Extra and Premium lineup for March 2026 yet. If they do confirm Final Fantasy XVI and Dragon’s Dogma 2 landing together, it’ll set a bar that’s tough to top in the months ahead. The announcement could drop any day now—so yeah, a lot of subscribers are glued to the PlayStation Blog.
