You Don’t Have to Wait Until January 20 to Play One of the New PS Plus Extra Games

by

PlayStation Plus Premium members get early access to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth through a free trial. Sony finished last year by offering a lot of free games each month, and players are eager to see what they have planned for 2026. PlayStation Plus already has some exciting titles coming, and one of them is available to play a bit sooner than expected.

On January 20th, PlayStation Plus subscribers will gain access to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a standout title among the month’s new games. The Like a Dragon series is known for its memorable characters and incredibly detailed worlds, offering players tons of gameplay. Infinite Wealth is considered a highlight of the series, and PlayStation Plus Premium members can start playing it even before January 20th.

PS Plus Premium Users Can Play Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Now

A free trial for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is available now for PlayStation Plus Premium members, letting players get a head start before the game officially releases on January 20th. Reddit user Otherwise_Ninja_9699 highlighted this perk, which offers a generous 10-hour preview – much longer than a typical demo. PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers will need to wait until the 20th to play. The good news is that any progress made during the trial will carry over to the full game, so you won’t lose any playtime!

While Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth isn’t the beginning of the series’ story, newcomers might find the plot a bit confusing. However, many long-time fans believe the engaging gameplay is more important than the complex story, making it easy to pick up the game at any point. Though it’s debatable whether this is the best place to start with Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth was one of the top-rated games of 2024, making this free trial a very appealing opportunity.

This game is a great way for fans to pass the time while they wait for Grand Theft Auto 6. Many consider Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth to be one of the best open-world games on PS5 similar to GTA, and it offers over 60 hours of gameplay, making it a worthwhile experience for those anticipating Rockstar’s November release. The free trial doesn’t have a set end date, meaning PS Plus Premium members can download and play it now through the 20th, when it will also become available to PS Plus Extra subscribers.

While a little extra free playtime likely won’t convince everyone to switch to Premium, it’s a nice bonus. Even if you don’t have Premium or Extra, you can try out four PS5 demos right now without needing a PlayStation Plus subscription. With a lot of 2024 still ahead, it’s shaping up to be a great year for PlayStation fans.
