PS Plus January 2025 – Here’s when the free PS4 and PS5 will be revealed

PlayStation Plus subscribers are counting down to the reveal of the free PS4 and PS5 games for January 2025.

A little later than usual, the PS Plus Essentials will be unveiled by Sony at 4.30pm GMT UK time on the afternoon of January 1.

Subscribers will have to wait even longer to play the games, which will be available to redeem from the morning of January 7.

Daily Express will update this article when the games are officially revealed by Sony, or if the games leak ahead of schedule.

Unfortunately, without any leaks to go on, subscribers will have to settle for predictions instead.

Indeed, in the regular predictions thread over on Reddit, many fans believe Resident Evil Village will finally join the PS Plus Essentials line-up, or possibly Resident Evil 4 Remake.

The rumours of a PS Plus release largely stem from the expectation that Capcom will release a new Resident Evil game in 2025.

Other games featured in the predictions thread include Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, SnowRunner, Atomic Heart, Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Atomic Heart.

Atomic Heart has appeared frequently in recent months, especially since the game left Xbox Game Pass earlier this year.

South Park Snow Day is another game with lots of predictions, alongside Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Jusant, Terminator Resistance and first-person shooter Robocop Rogue City.

It’s probably wishful thinking, but there are even some picks for games like God of War Ragnarok, Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen and Hogwarts Legacy.

While fans will have to wait around a week to play the new PS Plus games, the good news is that the current batch are still available to redeem.

This includes superb co-op adventure game It Takes Two, which sees players team up to solve puzzles and break a curse.

Subscribers can also download and play surprisingly entertaining strategy game Aliens: Dark Descent, where you’ll command a squad charged with defeating Xenomorphs and Weyland-Yutani operatives.

The Essentials line-up also includes Pokemon-inspired adventure game TemTem.

Daily Express will be back with the full line-up on January 1, so keep checking back for the latest information.
