Headlining the free PlayStation Plus games in March are Shadow of the Colossus and Sonic Forces for PS Plus members, with a weekend trial of the intense asymmetrical multiplayer experience Predator: Hunting Grounds starting on Friday March 27th!
Here are further details on each from Sony Senior Manager of Game Services Content Adam Michel, to quote:
Shadow of the Colossus
Tales speak of an ancient realm where Colossi roam the majestic landscape. Bound to the land, these creatures hold a key to a mystical power of revival — a power you must obtain to bring a loved one back to life.
Shadow of the Colossus is a breathtaking journey through ancient lands to seek out gigantic beasts. Armed with only a sword and a bow, explore the spacious lands and unearth each Colossus, presenting a unique challenge to test your wits, determination, and skill.
Sonic Forces
In Sonic Forces, the evil Dr. Eggman has conquered much of the world with help from a powerful and mysterious new villain named Infinite. Now, you must assist Sonic and build an army to reclaim the world as they fight against chaos and destruction.
Defeat enemies with blazing speed as Modern Sonic, catapult past perilous platforms as Classic Sonic, and create your very own Custom Hero Character equipped with a variety of powerful gadgets.

While PS4 7.02 OFW is still Sony's current live PlayStation 4 System Software, PlayStation scene developer @rickylyh shared some screenshots on Twitter of the PS4 7.50 Beta Firmware making rounds in testing circles.
Those not registered in Sony's PlayStation Preview Program will not be able to install Beta PUPs as they require a valid PS4 license for installation, DON'T UPDATE if you wish to use PS4 game backups and homebrew when a new PS4 jailbreak exploit arrives and as DEFAULTDNBconfirmed be aware that you can only downgrade to the current highest released OFW regardless of what Firmware you updated from. :alert...
From What I'm capable of.txt: To begin with, I do not have any decryption keys nor exploits or what so ever.
As soon as you use a theme the PS4 immediately decrypts the pkg files, they are then saved in one place. What my tool does is it downloads those decrypted content files of the THEME.pkg.
Cool stuff you can do with the files you can use them dynamic themes and make a phone/PC/PSvita theme with sounds & background music.
Note: PlayStation systems use special sound/music format (at9, at10) that are quite rare there many ways to convert them to mp3.
You may also change the bgm and repackage the theme and install it back.
Earlier this month PlayStation 4 scene developer charlyzard released a PS4OfflineAccountActivator and now he's made available via Twitter a PS4 Offline Account Activator GUI for those like me who prefer using a Graphical User Interface.
