Best PlayStation Plus Games (January 2025)

PlayStation Plus: Top Games Leaving & Arriving in January 2025

Sony's PlayStation Plus service, launched in June 2022, offers three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium, each with varying game libraries and features. This article highlights key games leaving and joining the service in January 2025.

Departures: Several significant titles are leaving the Extra and Premium tiers on January 21st, 2025. The most notable losses are:

• Resident Evil 2 (Remake): Capcom's critically acclaimed 2019 remake is a standout horror experience, offering two compelling campaigns. While completing both might be challenging before its removal, experiencing at least one is highly recommended.

• Dragon Ball FighterZ: Arc System Works' fighting game boasts accessible yet deep combat, perfect for both casual and competitive players. However, its single-player content may feel repetitive after extended play. Completing the three single-player arcs is achievable within the timeframe.

Arrivals: The PlayStation Plus Essential tier welcomes a new title for January 2025:

• The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (Available January 7th - February 3rd): This meta-narrative adventure game offers a unique and replayable experience.

While the January 2025 additions are somewhat divisive, the removal of high-profile games like Resident Evil 2 warrants attention. Subscribers should prioritize experiencing these titles before their departure. The article's rankings consider both game quality and their PS Plus availability dates, giving priority to newly added and Essential games.
