Happy New Year, gamers! It’s time to dive into 2025 with some epic gaming adventures brought to you by PlayStation Plus this January. Prepare to face off against a twisted league of superheroes, hit the streets at breakneck speeds, and get downright wacky with these new releases. Save the date—January 7—when Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game drop for all PlayStation Plus members*.
Let’s break down what January has in store!
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League | PS5
Are you ready to bring down the powerful Justice League? Whether you prefer tackling missions solo or teaming up with friends, this game promises an exhilarating ride. Developed by Rocksteady Studios, famed for their legendary Batman: Arkham series, this title tosses you into an action-packed, genre-bending adventure. Set in the sprawling open-world of Metropolis, you’ll join forces with four notorious DC Super-Villains. As you face an alien incursion and the once-protective Superheroes gone rogue, remember—those explosives in your squad’s heads aren’t just for show. Each member of the Suicide Squad comes with distinct abilities and advanced traversal options, allowing you to roam Metropolis while customizing weapons and honing new skills.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered | PS4
Feel the pulse-pounding excitement of high-speed pursuits in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Choose your path: evade the law as a daring outlaw or bring justice as a relentless cop. With the world’s fastest cars at your command, this game delivers a heart-racing experience like no other. Enhanced graphics, cross-platform multiplayer, and the addition of all DLC content make this the definitive version of Criterion Games’ acclaimed entry into the franchise. Get ready to reignite those high-octane escapades!
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game | PS4
Embrace the unique role of an ordinary deer in DEEEER Simulator. Whether you’re playfully frolicking or causing chaotic destruction, this game lets you stretch your legs (and neck) and explore a quirky cityscape. Engage in "slow-life town destruction" and prepare to face animal police when your antics go overboard. With kung fu sheep, car-transforming bears, and bunnies with disproportionately long ears hot on your trail, life as a deer has never been more bizarre.
Uncover the city’s secrets and embrace your deer destiny!
All three games will be available to PlayStation Plus members from January 7 through February 3.
As we gear up for these exciting releases, don’t forget that this is your last chance to download December’s hits: It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem. Make sure to add them to your collection by January 6.
