Are you thrilled with the January 2026 PS Plus Extra and Premium game lineup? Sony's kicking off the year with a bang, or at least, that's the initial impression! Let's dive in and see if the games live up to the hype.
For PS Plus Extra subscribers, the selection seems pretty robust. We're talking about a total of eight games to kick things off. Leading the charge is the critically acclaimed Resident Evil Village. Capcom's strategic move to include this survival horror gem is likely to get players hyped for the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem. It's a fantastic blend of survival horror and action, perfect for those who love to battle werewolves and other creatures.
Then there's Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which is a fantastic addition. This is the latest mainline game in the Like a Dragon / Yakuza series, an absolutely wild RPG and one of the biggest titles in the franchise to date. If you're new to the series, you might want to consider starting with some of the earlier titles to fully appreciate the experience.
But here's where it gets interesting: Expeditions: A MudRunner Game offers a completely different experience with tactical journey planning across rugged terrains. A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead brings us back to the survival horror genre.
And the variety doesn't stop there! Darkest Dungeon 2 is a brutal and engaging dungeon crawler, The Exit 8 provides an eye-opening indie experience, and Art of Rally is a feel-good racing game. Talk about a diverse selection!
Now, let's talk about the Premium tier. Unfortunately, the offerings here seem a bit…light. Only one title is included this month: Ridge Racer, a classic from the original PlayStation. While it's a beloved game, it's the only one available on the most expensive tier of PS Plus.
