Happy New Year! As 2025 begins, it’s time to dive headfirst into some thrilling gaming adventures. This January, PlayStation Plus members are in for a treat with three exciting titles that promise action, speed, and a dash of the unusual. Get ready to tackle a band of corrupted heroes in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, race on both sides of the law with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and live out the wild life of a deer in DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game. These games will be available starting January 7th.
Let’s delve deeper into what each game has to offer.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League | PS5
In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, you can unleash chaos solo or with your friends in this innovative, third-person action-adventure shooter from Rocksteady Studios, the creators of the celebrated Batman: Arkham series. Set in a vast open-world Metropolis, this game throws four DC Super-Villains into combat against a formidable alien invasion and the Justice League themselves, who seem hell-bent on destroying the city. With explosive devices planted in their heads, the Suicide Squad must tread carefully. Each character boasts unique abilities for traversing this dynamic city, complete with a range of customizable weapons and skills.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered | PS4
Get your adrenaline pumping with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered. Experience the exhilarating thrill of racing, whether you’re the cheeky speedster evading the law or the determined officer trying to catch the bad guys. With an array of high-performance vehicles, plus tactical weaponry to outsmart the competition, this game delivers heart-pounding excitement. Enhanced with improved visuals and cross-platform multiplayer functionality, including the asynchronous Autolog competition and all DLC content, this is the definitive version of Criterion Games’ iconic racing debut. Time to hit the road and reignite that pursuit!
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game | PS4
Embark on a wildly unconventional adventure in DEEEER Simulator. Step into the hooves of your everyday deer, equipped with quirky features like a stretchy neck and sharp antlers, as you wreak havoc in a city made for destruction. Whether you’re causing mischief with fellow animals or razing the town, this quirky “slow-life town destruction game” guarantees fun. Stir up enough trouble, and you’ll find yourself facing off against the formidable animal police—a force featuring kung fu sheep, bear-police cars, and rabbits with ears like grappling hooks. Witness the craziness and discover the city’s hidden mysteries!
Mark your calendar for January 7th when these intriguing games will become available to PlayStation Plus members, running until February 3rd.
For those of you who haven’t yet checked them off your list, now’s your chance to download December’s games—It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem—before they’re gone. This offer ends on January 6th.
