March is right around the corner. That means on Monday; we have free games to discuss this month. This article will contain a list of free games for March 2021 varying by platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC). With the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X already released, make sure to read the updated information for every subscription service.
As a reminder, Epic Games won’t announce which game is free until the week prior. So, this article will be updated weekly. Without further ado, let’s begin.
PlayStation Plus is a subscription that offers PS4, PSVR, and PS5 games each month. Disclaimer: If your subscription expires, the games are blocked without renewal or buying the game separately. All PS4 games mentioned will be able to play on PS5 through backward-compatibility.
Starting March 2, 2021, PlayStation Plus members will be able to own:
- Final Fantasy VII Remake
- Remnant: From the Ashes
- Marquette (PS5 only)
- Farpoint (PSVR)
A new PS5 game and FFVII are very tempting. The Final Fantasy Remake alone makes it worth it because it came out last year and was pretty much game of the year. Why Last of Us: Part II was there? I honestly don’t know.
Xbox Live Gold is a subscription that offers 2 Xbox One games, 1 Xbox 360, and/or 1 original or 360 Xbox game. Disclaimer: Any games obtained will be permanently added to the user’s library even after the subscription ends. All free 360 and original Xbox games will be automatically backward-compatible with the Xbox One. As of November 2020, Xbox Series X|S will play all games mentioned here also.

March has to be the most game-packed month this year, and that isn’t a bad thing. Whether you own an Xbox or PC, there are always diamonds in the rough. If you didn’t find any video games this month appealing, look at February’s article here. Depending on reading this article on March 1st or March 31st, those games may still be available.
