PlayStation Plus January 2024 monthly games have been confirmed

Members in the Extra and Premium tiers of PlayStation Plus will lose access to 10 games in February 2024. PS Plus Extra subscribers can play a number of different games as a part of their subscription service, with Premium users getting some additional benefits on top.

The PlayStation Plus subscription service is pretty much a must-have for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 platforms. However, three tiers are available for PlayStation Plus, so if you’re on the most basic tier, you’re missing out on access to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. This feature is reserved for those who subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium. With it, you’ll gain access to a wide assortment of video game titles to enjoy. However, while the game service does provide players a means to enjoy a new collection of games added into the mix monthly, there is a collection of titles that end up getting tossed out. 

Based on a recent series of tweets from Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke, it doesn't sound like Baldur's Gate 3 will be coming to any subscription service like PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass anytime soon. Vincke's discussion comes shortly after discourse surrounding a Ubisoft CEO saying fans should get used to not owning their games was shared in many online circles; in short, it seems Vincke wholeheartedly disagrees.

Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke has said the company won’t be putting any of its games on subscription services.

January’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue and Classics titles are now available.

Sony typically reveals its PS Plus free games, or Essential tier additions, on the last Wednesday before the first Tuesday of a month, but it's decided to reveal Foamstars as the headlining title for February 6. The rationale behind this early reveal likely has to do with the fact that Foamstars, which is being published by Square Enix, did not have a previously announced release date; in other words, it's launching day one on the PS Plus service.

PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can claim 14 games today, 9 of which are available via PS Plus Extra and 5 of which are available via PS Plus Premium. These games also join the superb PS Plus free games for January 2024, which include A Plague Tale: Requiem, Evil West, and Nobody Saves the World.

In some pretty major news for the foam fandom, developer and publisher Square Enix has announced a release date for the upcoming frothy 4v4 party shooter Foamstars.

Square Enix has announced that its 4v4 online party shooter Foamstars will release on February 6th for PS4 and PS5. A new trailer is available, showcasing the gameplay and confirming three modes – Smash the Star, Happy Bath Survival and a new addition, Rubber Duck Party. Check it out below.

Members in the Extra and Premium tiers of PlayStation Plus will get access to a number of games in January 2024, and gamers now have a better idea about how much space they will require. PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers get some notable benefits over the Essential tier, as users in this category can play hundreds of games at no extra cost.

Resident Evil 2 leads the pack of new titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium game catalogue, this month. Starting January 16, all higher-tier PS Plus members can head into their first day of work at the Raccoon City Police Department as the pretty boy rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy, only to be pit against hordes of flesh-eating zombies. As a remake of the original 1998 game, it features an additional pathway where you experience the story through the eyes of college student Claire Redfield, looking to reunite with her missing brother, before getting plunged into a conspiracy involving bizarre experiments and sinister corporations. Resident Evil 2 will be available to play on both PS4 and PS5.
