Sony has announced the lineup of free PlayStation Plus games for January 2025. The year 2024 was thrilling for PlayStation Plus subscribers, featuring a diverse selection of free games. Among the offerings were classic titles, recent hits like WWE 2K24, and even some exciting new releases on their launch day.
Right now, PlayStation Plus subscribers can enjoy three fantastic free games: It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem. It Takes Two, which won the Game of the Year award in 2021, is a delightful co-op adventure. Aliens: Dark Descent offers a thrilling strategy experience set in the beloved Aliens universe, while Temtem is an engaging MMORPG reminiscent of Pokémon. Make sure to grab these titles before they’re swapped out on Monday, January 6, for the new free games coming in January 2025!
This January 2025, PlayStation Plus subscribers can look forward to three exciting free games: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. You can grab these games starting Tuesday, January 7, through Monday, February 3, before they are replaced by the new offerings for February 2025.
PS Plus Free Games for January 2025 List
- Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is still under a year old, which typically would enhance its appeal in the PS Plus lineup. However, the game received negative reviews from critics and was recently available for as little as $5. Its live service features have also been discontinued, meaning that offering it for free on PS Plus won’t revive the support it needs. Nevertheless, having the chance to play it for free might help some fans overlook its shortcomings.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered offers an upgraded experience of the popular racing game, promising plenty of entertainment for fans of the genre. However, racing games often don’t resonate with everyone, and PS Plus subscribers may not be thrilled when a sports or racing title is included as a freebie. On the other hand, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a brilliantly crafted, narrative-focused first-person game that showcases genius in its design. Yet, some subscribers might be less enthusiastic about it being a refreshed version of a game that’s been around for over ten years.
When you look at the bigger picture, it’s clear that the free PS Plus games for January 2025 could stir up some controversy. PlayStation Plus members are quite vocal about their opinions, and this selection might just be one that prompts some complaints. On the flip side, if subscribers haven’t tried any of the free titles, they might actually welcome the January 2025 offerings.
