PlayStation Plus Subscribers Get Ready for January's Lineup

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. Price: $9.99/month.
• Extra: Includes Essential benefits plus access to a large catalog of PS4 and PS5 games. Price: $14.99/month.
• Premium: Includes Essential and Extra benefits, plus a library of classic PlayStation games (PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3), game trials, and cloud streaming (in select regions). Price: $17.99/month.

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

Several significant titles are being removed from the Extra and Premium tiers on January 21st, 2025. The most noteworthy are:

• Resident Evil 2 (Remake): A critically acclaimed remake of the classic survival horror game, offering two distinct campaigns. Its blend of horror, puzzle-solving, and resource management makes it a standout title.

• Dragon Ball FighterZ: A highly accessible yet deeply strategic fighting game from Arc System Works, known for its anime-inspired aesthetic and engaging combat. While the single-player content might be completed relatively quickly, its online competitive scene offers a much deeper experience.

The January 2025 PlayStation Plus Essential game is The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, available from January 7th to February 3rd.
