Foamstars launches on PS Plus

by Michael McWhertor

PlayStation Plus subscribers' free Essential games for the month of February are Foamstars, Rollerdrome and Steelrising, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced on Wednesday. Gamers can download the trio of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 games starting Tuesday, February 6.

Foamstars is a multiplayer shooter that has drawn comparisons to Nintendo's Splatoon games, but instead of ink-splatting octopuses, Square Enix's game features stylish athletes spraying each other with foam. The soapy substance can be used to build terrain for defensive purposes, create slippery surfaces and take out your opponents. Foamstars is a non-violent shooter with modes like Happy Bath Survival and Rubber Duck Party. It will be available for PS4 and PS5.
