Happy New Year, fellow gamers! 2025 is here, and with it comes an exciting lineup of titles to start your year right. Prepare to tackle a rogue league of superheroes and enjoy high-speed chases, both legal and not-so-legal, with the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for January. Starting January 7, PlayStation Plus members can dive into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, and DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game. Let’s dive into what these titles have to offer.
First up, we have Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for the PS5. This game is a thrilling blend of action, adventure, and third-person shooting, brought to life by Rocksteady Studios, the masterminds behind the Batman: Arkham series. You’ll be immersed in a new narrative set in a sprawling, open-world Metropolis. Here, you lead a team of DC Super-Villains against an alien invasion and a Justice League turned deadly. But beware—the Squad must steer clear of any disobedience due to the explosive devices in their heads. Each member boasts unique abilities and traversal skills, allowing you to explore freely, customize weapons, and refine your gameplay style.
Next, we have the pulse-racing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered for the PS4. Experience the exhilarating thrill of both evading capture and enforcing the law in high-speed chases featuring the world’s most elite cars. Engage in socially competitive racing, utilizing cutting-edge weaponry against rule-breakers or adversaries. The remastered edition sports enhanced visuals and cross-platform multiplayer supported by Autolog, and it includes all previously released DLC. Get ready to accelerate into the ultimate Need for Speed experience.
Lastly, there’s DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game, also for the PS4. This quirky game lets you embody a deer, uniquely armed with a stretchable neck and formidable antlers. Run amok within the city, playing with fellow animals or unleashing chaos until confronted by the stubborn animal police force. Challenge kung fu sheep, bears turned patrol cars, and bunnies with absurdly large ears as you unleash your inner deer to unlock the truth hidden in the town’s shadows.
All three games will be available from January 7 until February 3 for PlayStation Plus members, so there’s plenty of time to explore each one.
As a quick reminder, you have until January 6 to grab December’s offerings: It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem. Also, remember that the PlayStation Plus lineup may vary by region, so be sure to check your local PlayStation Store for specific releases.
