Top PS Plus Games for January 2025

On June 13, 2022, Sony unveiled its revamped PlayStation Plus service in North America, introducing a tiered subscription model that merges the former PS Plus and PS Now offerings. This new structure is divided into three distinct tiers, each providing varying levels of access to services and games.

  • PlayStation Plus Essential ($9.99/month): This tier mirrors the original PS Plus, offering online multiplayer access, monthly free games, and exclusive discounts.

  • PlayStation Plus Extra ($14.99/month): In addition to the Essential tier benefits, subscribers gain access to a vast library of PS4 and PS5 games, enhancing their gaming experience with a broader selection.

  • PlayStation Plus Premium ($17.99/month): This top-tier subscription includes all the perks of the Essential and Extra tiers, plus a rich catalog of classic games from PS3, PS2, PSP, and PS1, along with game trials and cloud streaming in select regions.

With over 700 games spanning more than two decades of PlayStation history, the PS Plus Premium tier offers an extensive collection that can be daunting to navigate. The PS Plus app's interface doesn't simplify browsing, making it helpful to know the standout titles before committing to a subscription. Sony regularly updates the library, adding new PS5, PS4, and classic games each month.

Let's explore some of the best games available on PlayStation Plus.

Updated on January 5, 2025, by Mark Sammut: PlayStation Plus has announced its Essential games lineup for the beginning of 2025. The selection has sparked mixed reactions, but one title stands out as a timeless classic.

The rankings consider not only the quality of the games but also their addition date to PS Plus. New additions are temporarily prioritized for visibility, and PS Plus Essential games are highlighted first when mentioned.

Great Games Leaving PS Plus Extra & Premium In January 2025

While it's uncertain how PS Plus Extra and Premium will kick off 2025, Sony has confirmed that several significant titles will be removed in January 2025. As of now, 11 games are scheduled to leave on January 21. Here are the most notable departures:

  • Resident Evil 2: A standout exit for January 2025, Capcom's 2019 remake of the PS1 classic is a strong contender for the best game in the acclaimed franchise. Focusing primarily on horror, Resident Evil 2 offers two campaigns following Leon and Claire as they navigate an outbreak in Raccoon City. Players must manage inventory, solve puzzles, and unravel a complex yet engaging story, all while evading a relentless Tyrant. While completing both campaigns within the remaining PS Plus time might be challenging, finishing one is achievable.

  • Dragon Ball FighterZ: Developed by Arc System Works, known for their prowess in the fighting game genre, Dragon Ball FighterZ excels due to its iconic license and accessible yet deep combat system. While the game's offline content may not justify a recommendation on its own, and diving into the competitive scene for a short period might not be worthwhile, the three single-player arcs can be completed in a week or two, though they may become repetitive.
