PlayStation Plus Unveils Exciting Lineup for January 2025

This article discusses the PlayStation Plus subscription service and highlights some of its best games, focusing on titles leaving the service in January 2025 and new additions.

The PlayStation Plus service, launched in June 2022, offers three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. Essential provides online access, monthly free games, and discounts; Extra adds hundreds of PS4 and PS5 games; and Premium includes classic games (PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3), game trials, and cloud streaming (region-dependent).

The Premium tier boasts a vast library, making selection challenging. This article focuses on key titles, considering both quality and their PS Plus availability date. Newer additions are prioritized for visibility, as are PS Plus Essential games.

Notable Departures from PS Plus Extra & Premium in January 2025

Several significant games are leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium on January 21st, 2025. The most prominent removals include:

• Resident Evil 2 (Remake): A critically acclaimed remake of the original, this survival horror title is considered one of the best in the series. Players control Leon or Claire, navigating Raccoon City during a zombie outbreak, managing resources, solving puzzles, and uncovering the story. Completing both campaigns within the remaining time might be challenging.

• Dragon Ball FighterZ: Developed by Arc System Works, this fighting game stands out due to its accessible yet deep combat system and the popular Dragon Ball license. While excellent, its offline content may not justify a short-term investment, and mastering the competitive aspects within a limited timeframe is difficult. The game features three single-player arcs.

January 2025 PS Plus Essential Game Highlight:

• The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe: This title is available as a PS Plus Essential game from January 7th to February 3rd, 2025.

This information helps subscribers prioritize their playtime and make informed decisions about which games to experience before they leave the PlayStation Plus catalog. The article's ranking considers both game quality and the timing of their PS Plus availability.
