As of today, PlayStation Plus members can still download three free games from January 2026: Need for Speed Unbound, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper. These games will be available until February 2nd. Need for Speed Unbound is a visually unique racing game, and Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remastered version of the classic Mickey Mouse platformer. Core Keeper is a cooperative survival game similar to Minecraft and Stardew Valley, and it received mostly positive feedback when it was first released. However, the January 2026 PS Plus games generally weren’t very popular, so it will be interesting to see what subscribers think of the February games.
Starting on February 3, members will have four games from different genres to add to their library.
