PS Plus Wishlist for January 2025: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Read Game Rant’s Review of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

In the role of a highly praised successor to “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order”, “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” enhances its predecessor through improved gameplay elements, a more expansive explorable environment, and another emotionally resonant narrative revolving around Cal Kestis’ struggle against the Empire. Despite all its strengths, the game encountered significant backlash at launch, predominantly concerning technical issues on PC platforms. This negative feedback may have only targeted the PC version, but it still impacted the game’s overall reputation, affecting even its standing on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. If it were to be included in PS Plus in January 2025, maybe it would receive the boost it needs to make a positive impression.

PS Plus Wishlist for January 2025: Lords of the Fallen (2023)

Read Game Rant’s Review of Lords of the Fallen (2023)

In the footsteps of its 2014 predecessor, Lords of the Fallen (2023) transports players into a sprawling universe filled with two realms – Axiom, the living world, and Umbral, the realm of the dead. By utilizing a mystical lantern, gamers traverse between these realms, adding depth to exploration and puzzles, making Lords of the Fallen unique within the Action Role-Playing Game (ARPG) genre. Despite selling over one million copies in its first ten days, it received less than stellar critical reviews. However, it could find redemption as part of January 2025’s PS Plus lineup.

PS Plus Wishlist for January 2025: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Read Game Rant’s Review of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Before its debut, excitement for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League ran high due to the acclaimed Batman: Arkham series by Rocksteady, yet tempered by cautious fans. Upon release, it seemed as though the game could offer a substantial, long-lasting experience – a requirement for live-service games. Regrettably, it failed to meet expectations, earning harsh criticism for its repetitive and dull gameplay. Despite this, PS Plus subscribers might find it a worthwhile investment of time if added to the service in January 2025.

PS Plus Wish List for December 2024 Extra and Premium Games

Something for Every Generation

In January 2025, there are numerous games that could be fantastic additions to the PS Plus lineup, given the present trends and upcoming launches. Among these potential choices are:

  • PS5: While it was only just released earlier this year, Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered would make a great addition to PS Plus in January 2025, especially in light of its above-average reception.
  • PS4: Atomic Heart is another title that would make a great addition to PS Plus in January 2025, as it bears similarities to Ken Levine’s upcoming BioShock-like, Judas.
  • PS3: Despite the fact that it left PS Plus Extra only a few months ago, LittleBigPlanet deserves to come back, as gamers are unlikely to purchase the game.
  • PSP: God of War: Ghost of Sparta is one of the PSP’s best games, and adding it to PS Plus in January 2025 would make sense as Santa Monica gears up for its next big entry.
  • PS2: As the wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 continues, including one of the PS2’s best games, Grand Theft Auto 3, in January 2025’s PS Plus lineup feels like a must.
  • PS1: With rumors of a Final Fantasy 9 remake on the horizon, perhaps adding the original to PS Plus in January 2025 would serve fans well.

PS Plus subscribers receive a handful of free games every month.
