PlayStation (PS) console owners will once again have another month of free games to look forward to now that February is nearly over, as the PS Plus lineup for March is just around the corner.

In line with this, several predictions have surfaced which are speculations on what next month's free games will be for the PS3, PS4 and PS Vita. The lineup will be published on Wednesday, Feb. 28, by Sony and the free games are also expected to be available come March 6.

There are also rumors that next month's PS Plus lineup will be the biggest yet from Sony. This is according to a popular Spanish YouTuber named Ampeterby7, who alleged that the tip was given to him by PlayStation Spain.

First in the list of predictions is "Far Cry 4" and "Dark Souls II," though it is important to note that both games were also part of the predictions for February back in January but turned out to be untrue. "Far Cry 4" is the fourth game in the acclaimed "Far Cry" franchise in which the star of the game is the fictional Himalayan country of Kyrat being torn apart by a totalitarian leader named Pagan Min and the country's own rebel faction called the Golden Path.

Meanwhile, "Dark Souls II" is the direct sequel to the award-winning "Dark Souls" and like its predecessor is also known for its unforgiving difficulty and learning curve.

Another big AAA game rumored to be part of the March lineup is "Fallout 4," which thrusts players into the shoes of a post-apocalyptic wasteland survivor in search of his/her son. "Shadow of Mordor" is also speculated to be part of the March lineup and is popular for being one of the best modern "Lord of the Rings" video games.

For those who love fighting games, "Mortal Kombat X" might be something players would want to watch out for. Last but not the least is the open-world "Watch Dogs" in which players control a rogue vigilante hacker in a digital and modern tale of revenge.

Still, all these speculations should be taken with a grain of salt, as the only way to know the real PS Plus lineup is to wait for official announcements from Sony.
