January 2025 PlayStation Plus Free Games: A Fresh Start
As we step into January, PlayStation Plus subscribers are in for a treat with the addition of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. This comes a year after its less-than-stellar debut as a live-service shooter, which faced significant criticism upon release. The game is now available to players just in time for them to dive into its final season and enjoy the long-awaited offline mode.
Exciting Lineup for PS Plus Subscribers
starting from January 7, 2025, members of PlayStation Plus can look forward to an impressive selection of games:
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League | PS5
- Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered | PS4
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe | PS4, PS5
This month’s offerings provide a diverse gaming experience that caters to various tastes.
Highlights of Each Game
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, originally released in 2013, is celebrated for its innovative approach to storytelling and player choice within video games. The newly launched Ultra Deluxe edition enhances visuals and substantially expands on the original content,making it an essential play.
on the racing front, need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, developed by Criterion Games—known for their work on the Burnout series—stands out as one of the franchise’s finest entries. Its thrilling gameplay and engaging mechanics make it a must-have title this month.
Focus on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Among these titles, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League garners particular attention.As Rocksteady Studios’ first major release since Batman: Arkham Knight, expectations were high; however, many fans found it lacking compared to previous entries in the Arkham series. While it features stunning cutscenes and impressive character development set against a vast Metropolis backdrop filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered, players have noted that much of its content feels repetitive due to live-service elements like monotonous missions and uninspired enemy encounters.
Despite these shortcomings—and with no new updates announced following last month’s introduction of Deathstroke alongside other characters like Joker and Mr. Freeze—the game will receive its final update on january 14. This update will introduce an offline mode that allows players to continue enjoying both main campaign missions and post-launch storylines even after multiplayer servers go dark.
Conclusion
With this robust lineup available through PlayStation Plus starting January 7th, subscribers have plenty of opportunities ahead—whether they’re looking forward to exploring expansive narratives or racing at high speeds across thrilling tracks.
