Happy New Year, fellow gamers! As we step into 2025, PlayStation Plus has quite the line-up to kick off our January gaming adventures. On January 7th, members can immerse themselves in the battle against a league of corrupted superheroes, or embrace the thrill of the chase with this month’s featured games: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and the quirky DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game. Let’s dive into what each of these exciting titles has to offer!
First up, we have Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for PS5. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to face off against The Justice League, this game offers you the chance. Whether you prefer going solo or teaming up with friends for a co-op experience, this genre-defying action-adventure from Rocksteady Studios—known for their acclaimed Batman: Arkham series—doesn’t disappoint. Set in a sprawling open-world Metropolis, players take control of four notorious DC Super-Villains. As an ominous alien invasion wreaks havoc, they clash with once-heroic figures now driven to destroy the city. Adding to the tension, the lethal explosives implanted in their heads mean the Suicide Squad lives on borrowed time, under constant threat. Each character comes with distinct abilities, offering the freedom to explore Metropolis, customize weapons, and refine your skills.
Switching gears, we revisit an old favorite with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered for PS4. Embrace heart-racing speeds and strategic takedowns in this classic title. Whether you’re speeding away as an outlaw or hunting down lawbreakers as a cop, this game brings the heat with its high-performance vehicles. The remastered version packs enhanced visuals, cross-platform multiplayer action, and every piece of DLC content, making it the definitive edition of Criterion Games’ highly praised Need for Speed entry. It’s all about reigniting those memorable, high-octane pursuits.
Then there’s DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game for PS4—a title that’s anything but ordinary. Step into the hooves of a deer, equipped with a stretchy neck and sharp antlers, and embark on a chaotic rampage through a cityscape. Whether you opt to play nice with fellow creatures or unleash utter devastation, this "slow-life town destruction game" promises a mix of fun and challenge. But beware—stir up too much trouble and you’ll find yourself up against some peculiar, formidable animal cops. Ever tangled with kung fu sheep or bears transforming into police vehicles? It’s a wild ride you won’t want to miss. And, don’t forget to uncover the mysteries hidden within the city as you embark on this unique journey.
These three captivating games will be available to download for PlayStation Plus members from January 7 to February 3. So, make sure you mark your calendars!
Lastly, there’s just a heartbeat of time left to grab December’s offerings. Until January 6, you can add It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem to your gaming library. Don’t miss out!
