January 2026 PlayStation Plus Game Catalog Highlights
January’s selection focuses heavily on horror and racing, but it also includes calm puzzle games and deep RPG experiences. Whether you enjoy fast action or slow, thoughtful gameplay, this month has plenty to offer.
Resident Evil Village (PS5, PS4)
Resident Evil Village is the standout horror title this month. It continues Ethan Winters’ story after the events of Resident Evil 7 and pushes the fear factor even further.
Set in a mysterious European village, the game mixes exploration, combat, and survival horror. The village itself feels alive, filled with secrets, strange characters, and terrifying enemies. Strong visuals, tense moments, and memorable villains make this a must-play for horror fans.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5, PS4)
If you enjoy story-driven RPGs, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a major highlight. The game follows Ichiban Kasuga as he travels to Hawaii in search of answers about his past.
The turn-based combat is deeper than before, and the story balances emotion, humor, and action. Longtime fans will also appreciate Kazuma Kiryu’s important role. With plenty of side activities and a rich narrative, this game easily offers dozens of hours of content.
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game (PS5, PS4)
Expeditions takes players into harsh and beautiful environments filled with challenges. Instead of racing, the focus here is careful planning and exploration.
You’ll drive powerful off-road vehicles through deserts, forests, and mountains while using advanced tools like drones and scanners. The slow-paced gameplay rewards patience and smart decisions, making it perfect for players who enjoy exploration and strategy.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead (PS5)
Inspired by the popular movie series, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead delivers a tense single-player horror experience. Silence is your biggest weapon, and every sound can attract deadly creatures.
The game focuses on survival, emotional storytelling, and atmosphere rather than action. It tells a personal story set in a world overrun by monsters, making it a good choice for fans of slow-burn horror.
Darkest Dungeon II (PS5, PS4)
Darkest Dungeon II returns with its signature dark tone and challenging gameplay. This sequel mixes roguelike mechanics with a road-trip-style journey across a broken world.
Players must manage not only combat but also the mental health and relationships of their heroes. Every decision matters, and mistakes can be costly. It’s tough, rewarding, and best suited for players who enjoy deep strategy.
The Exit 8 (PS5, PS4)
The Exit 8 is a short but memorable experience. Set in a Japanese underground passageway, the goal is simple: observe carefully and escape.
Small visual changes and strange details create constant tension. The game is minimal, unsettling, and perfect for fans of psychological horror and liminal spaces.
Art of Rally (PS5, PS4)
Art of Rally offers a stylish and relaxing take on racing. Inspired by the golden era of rally motorsport, the game uses a top-down view and colorful visuals.
It features tracks from around the world and a wide range of classic cars. Easy to learn but challenging to master, it suits both casual players and racing fans.
A Little to the Left (PS5, PS4)
For something calm and cozy, A Little to the Left is a welcome addition. The game is all about organizing everyday objects into neat arrangements.
Simple puzzles, charming visuals, and a mischievous cat create a relaxing experience. It’s ideal for players looking to unwind after intense action games.
Ridge Racer (PS5, PS4) – Premium Only
Classic arcade racing returns with Ridge Racer, available exclusively for PlayStation Plus Premium members.
The original PlayStation title has been enhanced with modern features like rewind, quick save, and visual filters. Fast-paced racing, iconic music, and simple controls make this a nostalgic treat for long-time PlayStation fans.
