The games will be accessible until February 6th. It’s worth noting that all three games have PS4 versions, however PS5 players can get the native PS5 versions of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Axiom Verge 2.

WWE 2K22 was previously revealed to be included in the PS Plus Extra list on January 3. It’s unclear why WWE 2K22 has been included independently of the other PS Plus Extra games.
