PlayStation Announces Stellar New Games for PS Plus (Jan '25)

This article discusses the PlayStation Plus subscription service and highlights some of its best games, particularly those leaving the service in January 2025. The service is tiered, offering varying levels of access to games and features.

PlayStation Plus Tiers:

• Essential: The base tier, equivalent to the old PS Plus, offering online multiplayer, monthly free games, and discounts.
• Extra: Includes Essential benefits plus access to a large catalog of PS4 and PS5 games.
• Premium: Combines Essential and Extra benefits with a library of classic PlayStation games (PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3), game trials, and cloud streaming (region-dependent).

Notable Games Leaving PS Plus Extra & Premium in January 2025:

Several significant titles are rotating out of the Extra and Premium tiers on January 21st, 2025. The most noteworthy departures include:

• Resident Evil 2 (Remake): A critically acclaimed remake of the classic survival horror game, offering two compelling campaigns. While completing both campaigns before the removal date may be challenging, a single playthrough is achievable.

• Dragon Ball FighterZ: A highly-rated fighting game known for its accessible yet deep combat system. While the single-player content might be completed within a couple of weeks, its repetitive nature and the short timeframe make a deep dive into competitive play impractical.

January 2025 PS Plus Essential Game:

The article also mentions The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe as a January 2025 PS Plus Essential title, available from January 7th to February 3rd.

Note: The article's rankings consider both game quality and the date of their PS Plus addition, prioritizing newer additions and Essential titles. The article's content is current as of January 5th, 2025. The provided navigation bar remains unchanged.
