Now we are saying adieu to 2024 while getting ready to usher in an even bigger and better new year of video game releases. The reveal date for the PS Plus January 2025 monthly games is slightly delayed, and the unfortunate news is that a massive, and very much beloved, game-of-the-year nominee is leaving the Extra tier. There are a lot of great games for PlayStation players to anticipate next year. Our very own game-of-the-year winner, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, is set to join PS5 after a brief period as an Xbox console exclusive, meanwhile, Ghost of Yotei is currently pegged for sometime in 2025. Arguably the most anticipated game of all time, GTA 6, is still pegged for the next 12-months also, but its always possible delays can occur. It should be a special year of releases next year, and, while were excited, were also pumped to see how Sony kickstarts the year for PS Plus subscribers. The January 2025 games reveal date is slightly delayed, and Extra subscribers should make sure to play one of the tiers best games before it leaves.PS Plus January 2025 monthly games reveal date ThePS Plus January 2025 Essential monthly games should be revealed on January 1st. Unfortunately, it is a slight delay as the next batch of games are typically revealed the final Wednesday prior to the start of the next month. As for when the Essential selection will be released, Sonys PlayStation Blog post for December confirms that they will come out on January 7th. The Extra and Premium additions should then be revealed on January 15th before releasing on the 21st. Before the new year commences, make sure to claim the current December Essential giveaways while you still can. It Takes Two is an excellent co-op game with a unique narrative from Hazelight Studios, meanwhile, TemTem is a fun Pokmon-esque experience, and Aliens Dark Descent is an enjoyable real-time combat strategy game starring the marines.

It was deservedly nominated for game-of-the-year at the Game Awards 2019, and it is a brilliant retelling of one of the greatest survival horror nightmares that came out on the PS1. The Life is Strange games are also great, Dragon Ball FighterZ is excellent, too, and the Just Cause duo are fun action romps as well. The Mana games are excellent JRPGs, and the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a wonderful celebration of arguably the best fighting game series of all time.
