Happy New Year, gamers! As we step into 2025, it’s time to amp up your gaming experience with January’s exciting offerings from PlayStation Plus. Prepare yourself to clash with a squad of corrupt superheroes, speed through high-stakes races, and even escape the mundane grind of office life. Available from January 7 for PlayStation Plus subscribers are the eagerly awaited titles: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.
Let’s dive deeper into what each of these games has to offer.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League | PS5
Get ready for a high-octane mission where you can go solo or team up with pals in a cooperative multiplayer setting. This innovative action-adventure shooter comes from Rocksteady Studios, the masterminds behind the Batman: Arkham series. Immerse yourself in an original storyline set in a vast, open-world Metropolis. Here, you’ll control four infamous DC Super-Villains as they face off against an alien invasion and Justice League heroes, now intent on laying waste to the city they were supposed to safeguard. With explosives planted in their heads that could detonate on a whim, the stakes are high for the Suicide Squad. Each character boasts a unique skillset and traversal enhancements, allowing you to freely rove the lively streets of Metropolis while customizing an array of weapons and honing new abilities.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered | PS4
Feel the adrenaline surge in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Whether you’re a speedster evading capture or a cop enforcing the law, you’ll experience the intense velocity of the world’s finest high-performance vehicles. Outsmart the pursuing officers or hunt down lawbreakers using an arsenal of tactical gadgets in this heart-racing, multiplayer racing game renowned for its social competition. Enhanced visuals, cross-platform multiplayer fueled by Autolog, and all additional DLC content make this remaster the definitive edition of Criterion Games’ much-acclaimed debut in the series. Get ready because the pursuit is back on!
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe | PS4, PS5
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe takes the acclaimed indie game from 2013 and expands it into something even more spectacular. While staying true to its original form, this enhanced version offers new paths, choices, and mysteries to discover. The already intricate maze now ventures further, offering a modern visual update that resonates with today’s technology. Accessibility improvements, including text localization, colorblind settings, and content warnings, ensure an inclusive gaming experience. And once again, the phenomenal narration by Kevan Brighting will be your guide through this immersive adventure.
You can grab all three of these fantastic games from January 7 until February 3. Make sure they’re on your radar, as you won’t want to miss out!
