January’s PlayStation Plus Essential games Announced
Sony Interactive Entertainment has unveiled the lineup of free games for PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers in January 2025, bucking its usual pre-holiday announcement tradition. This month’s selection, available starting January 7th, features a diverse trio of titles sure to excite gamers.
The headliners for January are Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. This eclectic mix offers something for a wide range of gaming tastes, from action-packed superhero adventures to classic racing and thought-provoking narrative experiences.
The inclusion of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is particularly noteworthy. As previously reported, developer Rocksteady Studios will cease support for the game later this month. ”Rocksteady will stop supporting the game at the end of this month,” a source confirmed. This move by Warner Bros. Games might be an attempt to boost sales of in-game cosmetics before completely moving on from the title.
These three titles will replace It Takes two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem on January 7th. So, PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers should make sure to download the current offerings before they’re gone!
