The latest, and likely final, content update for one of 2024’s most disappointing releases has arrived on PS Plus Essential as part of the January 2025 lineup. While many PS Plus members have expressed dissatisfaction over "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" being part of the offerings, Rocksteady Studios and WB Games are staying committed. They’ve released Episode 8: Balance as planned, despite the underwhelming reception.
Can the Final Update for Suicide Squad Change PS Plus Members’ Minds?
This update, along with addressing various bugs and enhancing performance, introduces an exciting new mission called Mayhem. It also adds a Libra-themed Infamy Set, introduces some powerful new weapons, and tweaks the gameplay. Plus, players now have more of the Elseworld map to explore, where they can finally face off against Brainiac.
Here’s a rundown of the patch notes:

- Deathstroke’s Suicide Strike duration against certain enemies has been reduced to better align with other characters.
