The beginning of each month is eagerly anticipated by gamers, and for good reason: PlayStation console owners regularly receive a wonderful gift. Sony offers several free games to PlayStation Plus subscribers. It’s a great deal that has allowed players to rediscover titles like RoboCop: Rogue City, Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition, Stray, Diablo IV, Lies of P, Call of Duty Black Ops IV, or NBA 2K24, all offered at some point by Sony to PS+ members.
Back in December, Sony delighted both casual and seasoned gamers with LEGO Horizon Adventures, a family-friendly action-adventure set in a vibrant, post-apocalyptic world full of color and epic moments. The excitement continued with Killing Floor 3, an intense FPS designed for gamers with nerves of steel. Then came the survival-horror experience The Outlast Trials. Shifting gears in style and tone, Neon White had players assuming the role of an assassin using their skills to hunt demons and earn a spot in Paradise. Lastly, we got to enjoy another shooter set in a different post-apocalyptic universe, with Synduality - Echo of Ada.
What does this month have in store for PS Plus subscribers? Sony kicks off 2026 with three free titles available for download starting January 6. First up, we get a glimpse of the Nintendo Switch game Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, now adapted for PS5. Next, rev up your engines with Need for Speed Unbound, the adrenaline-pumping racing game featuring thrilling urban circuits. Fans of indie survival games with a retro aesthetic will want to try Core Keeper. Grab your controllers and get gaming!
