PlayStation Plus has a massive library of free titles that subscribers often don't take advantage of to the fullest. While there are plenty of middling or even downright terrible games available, there are also quite a few absolute masterpieces that are easy to overlook in the sea of free content on the platform. Ultimately, subscribers may have to do some digging to find these hidden gems.

One such title is a PlayStation 2 classic that is widely hailed and ranks among the most popular FPS games of its time. It currently has a 4.65/5 rating on the PlayStation Store, and remains a fan favorite more than two decades after its original release. It's part of a massive collection of beloved PS2 games, and is available to play entirely for free for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers right now.

PlayStation Plus Has Tons Of Great PS2 Games

PlayStation Plus has a massive library of free games at your fingertips, and arguably some of the best content comes from its classic additions, particularly from the PS2 era. If you owned a PlayStation 2 and were a fan of FPS games, there's almost no doubt you used to be a TimeSplitters fan, and believe it or not the 10/10 PS2 masterpiece TimeSplitters: Future Perfect is available to play entirely for free on PS Plus today.

Originally released in 2005, the fan-favorite shooter combines a time-hopping campaign with the series’ signature humor and extensive multiplayer elements. Future Perfect serves as the third and final entry in the original TimeSplitters trilogy, following 2000’s TimeSplitters and 2002’s TimeSplitters 2.

Future Perfect was hugely popular when it first releases, with critics praising its variety of gameplay, unique blend of humor, and more developed story compared to the previous two entries. The version available on PS4 and PS5 today includes the original time-hopping campaign and extensive local multiplayer content, with support for up to four players. It also now features PS4 and PS5 Trophy support, including a Platinum Trophy, making the classic even more rewarding to revisit for modern PlayStation players.

This May Be The Best FPS Of The Bunch

TimeSplitters: Future Perfect holds its own among even modern FPS games, though it clearly shows its age being a PlayStation 2 title. Fortunately, it’s far from the only PS2-era shooter available through PS Plus Premium’s Classics Catalog. Players can also check out the original TimeSplitters and TimeSplitters 2 to experience the rest of the trilogy.

PS Plus Premium continues to give classic games a second life, offering an easy way to revisit older PlayStation releases without digging out the original hardware. With the Classics Catalog continuing to complement a much larger library of modern games, there’s plenty on offer for PlayStation Plus subscribers, but you may need to do a little digging to find the hidden gems.
