All The PlayStation Plus January 2025 Games For Premium And Extra Subscribers
If you're looking to kick back with a few games that you might have missed when they were first released, you can check out all the new arrivals coming to the PS Plus Game Catalog on January 21. This month, 11 games are being added and these range from PS1 and PS2 classics, to indie hits from not too long ago.
Back in November we got the Yakuza spin-off Like a Dragon: Ishin, and if you're hungry for more of RGG Studio's signature blend of action and gangland melodrama, you can hop into Like a Dragon Gaiden this month. There's also God of War Ragnarok in case you want to dip into Sony's first-party library, Sayonara Hearts will let you break hearts and bones, you can check out the first Citizen Sleeper game before its sequel arrives at the end of the month, and catch up with an undead knight from the original PlayStation console days.
As a reminder, all PS Plus subscribers can also claim this month's batch of new games, as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered are all available to download right now.
God of War Ragnarok (PS5, PS4)
The final chapter in Kratos' Nordic saga, God of War Ragnarok is an action-packed game that also tells a heartfelt story. Set shortly after the events of the 2018 God of War game, Ragnarok expanded on its ideas to deliver a bigger and grander adventure as Kratos and his son Atreus found themselves in conflict with the Norse pantheon of gods. On top of the excellent single-player campaign, there's also a cool roguelike mode if you want to test your strength.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (PS5, PS4)
An interquel set between the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Like a Dragon Gaiden is a short and action-heavy detour from the turn-based RPG games starring Ichiban Kasuga. If you prefer old-school Yakuza, then you'll get a kick out of this spin-off, which once again stars Kazuma Kiryu in a leading role. There's a fun story here, a fighting style to master that revolves around the use of cool gadgets, and an ending that'll leave you in tears.
Atlas Fallen: Reign Of Sand (PS5)
While it was one of the more forgettable action games of 2023, Atlas Fallen is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something to try out between your commitment to new game releases. The Reign of Sand update helped fine-tune Atlas Fallen's gameplay, as it expanded the world, revamped progression, added new quests, overhauled the voice acting, and dropped in a new difficulty mode.
SD Gundam Battle Alliance (PS5, PS4)
There's nothing cooler than one of the signature mobile suit mechs from the Gundam universe, and if you've been wondering if they could look cute as well, SD Gundam Battle Alliance will answer that question for you. This adorable action-RPG puts you in control of multiple mobile suits, and you'll need to fix an altered history by battling your way through legions of mechs that stand in your way. It's a fun way to experience pivotal moments from the Gundam anime series, and the multiplayer mode is also quite fun in case you're feeling social.
Sayonara Wild Hearts (PS4)
Motorcycles, sword battles, and skateboarding in a neon-lit world makes for a killer combo, and you can experience all of that in the cult-classic Sayonara Wild Hearts. Not just a fun arcade-inspired game, Sayonara Wild Hearts also pairs its gameplay with a banger of a soundtrack that'll live rent-free in your head long after the end credits have rolled.
ANNO: Mutationem (PS5, PS4)
Another neon-soaked game to check out this month is ANNO: Mutationem. The action-RPG puts you in the boots of Ann, a one-woman-army on a personal mission to take down sinister mega-corporations and mysterious fringe groups.
Orcs Must Die 3 (PS5, PS4)
The Orcs Must Die games have been fun entries in the Tower Defense genre, and Orcs Must Die 3 ups the ante by throwing an obscene number of the vile creatures at your fort. Fortunately, you've got an arsenal of weapons, traps, and defenses that you can build, destroying any orcish war machine that dares to cross your borders.
Citizen Sleeper (PS5, PS4)
With a sequel out on January 31, now is a great time to check out the original Citizen Sleeper. A sci-fi indie adventure inspired by the flexibility and freedom of TTRPGs, it has a great art direction, interesting gameplay mechanics, and an intriguing story.
Poker Club (PS4)
For the card sharks out there, you can sit down for Poker Club this month. Designed to be an immersive simulation of the popular card game, there are tournaments to enter and a community of online players to face off against.
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (PS5, PS4)
What better way to prepare for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle than by revisiting an Indy classic? 2009's Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings was a pretty sold third-person action game at the time of its release on PS2, and this new version comes with up-rendered visuals, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters.
MediEvil 2 (PS5, PS4)
Finally, you can get Medievil on some asses with the return of Sir Daniel Fortesque. Following the success of the first game, MediEvil 2 was a fun sequel that allowed you to wield all manner of ye olde melee weapons--and the occasional chicken drumstick--against foul enemies, solve puzzles, and chuckle at some ghoulish humor along the way.
