Happy New Year, gamers! Start your 2025 with a bang by diving into the action-packed lineup of January’s PlayStation Plus Monthly Games. Get ready to face off against some corrupted superheroes in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, switch between the roles of cop and outlaw in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and unleash your inner ungulate in DEEEER Simulator. Mark your calendars for January 7, when these games will be available to all PlayStation Plus members.
Let’s delve into these exciting titles.
First up, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is coming to the PS5. Whether you prefer tackling challenges solo or teaming up with friends in co-op mode, this innovative third-person shooter from Rocksteady Studios—the masterminds behind the acclaimed Batman: Arkham series—has got you covered. Set in a sprawling, open-world Metropolis, it pits your team of four notorious DC supervillains against a mysterious alien threat and the once-heroic Justice League members determined to destroy the metropolis they pledged to protect. Adding a thrilling twist to the tale are explosive devices implanted in the squad’s heads, creating a constant high-stakes scenario. With diverse movesets and advanced traversal abilities, each character offers a unique gameplay experience as you explore and master the dynamic world of Metropolis.
Next, hit the gas with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered on the PS4. Experience the adrenaline rush of high-speed chases, where you can either outsmart law enforcers or bring culprits to justice with an array of tactical weaponry. This remaster offers enhanced visuals and cross-platform multiplayer, with Autolog powering asynchronous competition. With all previously released DLCs included, it’s the ultimate version of Criterion Games’ beloved racing classic. Are you ready to reignite the pursuit?
Then, we have DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game, also on the PS4. Step into the hooves of a typical deer in a game that’s anything but ordinary. With your various deer abilities like a stretchable neck and formidable antlers, you’re free to either make merry with fellow animals or wreck chaos across the city in this whimsical “slow-life town destruction game.” But beware—misbehaving too much will unleash an absurd set of animal police on your trail, including kung fu master sheep and car-transforming bears!
All three games will be available from January 7 to February 3 for PlayStation Plus members.
Before you jump into the new lineup, don’t forget that you have until January 6 to download December’s offerings: It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem. Just a quick reminder—availability might vary by region, so swing by the PlayStation Store on launch day to see what’s in store for you.
