Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, let the gaming marathon begin with a stellar lineup of PlayStation Plus games ready to fuel your January. Whether you’re taking down a rogue league of superheroes or hitting top speeds on both sides of the law, gear up for some action-packed adventures with titles landing on January 7 for PlayStation Plus members*. We’re talking about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game.
Curious to dive into the details? Let’s break each game down.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is here for PS5. Get ready to tackle The Justice League either solo or with your squad in cooperative multiplayer mode. This action-adventure shooter from the legendary Rocksteady Studios—creators of the acclaimed Batman: Arkham series—introduces a brand-new storyline in the sprawling open-world city of Metropolis. As DC Super-Villains, your mission collides with an alien threat and a group of Superheroes who’ve turned their sights on obliterating the city they once protected. Oh, and did I mention the little explosives in your heads ready to pop if orders aren’t followed? Each character boasts unique abilities that make traversing Metropolis a breeze, not to mention the customizable weapons and skills at your disposal.
Next up, we have Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered for PS4. It’s time to feel the adrenaline of high-speed pursuits from both lawbreaker and enforcer perspectives, featuring the hottest cars on the planet. Outsmart the cops or hunt down speed fiends using tactical weaponry in this heart-pounding, socially competitive racing experience. With updated visuals and cross-platform multiplayer options, including the Autolog-powered asynchronous competition, this remastered edition packs all previous DLC content for a thrilling joyride. It’s time to rev up those engines and reignite the chase.
And finally, there’s DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game for PS4. In this wonderfully absurd game, you step into the hooves of an ordinary deer. But don’t be deceived—as this deer you’ll stretch your neck, wield sharp antlers, and embrace the full chaotic potential of a “slow-life town destruction game.” Frolic around or raze the city to dust—either way, expect a showdown with the quirky animal police force, including martial arts sheep and bear police cars. Ready to live your best deer life and uncover the city’s hidden secrets? Go wild!
