Get Ready for a Thrilling Gaming Month
Sony has officially revealed the PlayStation Plus monthly games for January 2025, and gamers have plenty to be excited about! This month’s lineup includes the highly anticipated **Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League**, the adrenaline-pumping **Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered**, and the thought-provoking **The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe**. These titles will be available for PlayStation Plus members starting **January 7**.
The Spotlight Game: Suicide Squad
The standout title of the month is undoubtedly **Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League**. This game arrives on PlayStation 5 and promises an engaging experience, especially for fans of the franchise. However, it’s worth noting that developer Rocksteady has announced it will cease new content updates after Season 4, which is set to release this month. Nonetheless, players can still look forward to exciting features, including the ability to play as Deathstroke, an offline mode, and all previously released seasonal content.
In our review of **Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League**, we described it as “a repetitive and bland looter-shooter that, despite an engaging story, never stays fun for long enough.” While opinions may vary, this title is sure to spark discussion among players.
Revving Up with Need for Speed
Next up is **Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered**, an upgraded version of the beloved racing game originally released in 2010. This remaster features enhanced graphics, cross-platform multiplayer capabilities, and asynchronous competition powered by Autolog, along with all previously released DLC.
Our review praised **Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered**, stating that while it may not be the “most exciting remaster,” it remains “one of the best modern arcade racers around – and now it looks even better.” This title is perfect for racing enthusiasts looking for a thrilling experience.
A Classic Reimagined: The Stanley Parable
Last but certainly not least is **The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe**, an expanded re-imagining of the original 2013 classic. This updated version introduces new content, choices, and secrets, along with improved visuals and enhanced accessibility features.
In our review, we noted that “The Stanley Parable still holds up a decade later,” emphasizing that the Ultra Deluxe version essentially adds a whole new game’s worth of additional content to explore. This title is a must-play for those who enjoy narrative-driven experiences.
