PlayStation Plus 2025: Top Games & January Departures

Sony's PlayStation Plus, launched in June 2022, offers three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium, each providing varying levels of access to online play, games, and classic titles. The service regularly updates its game library, adding new titles and removing others. This article highlights some of the best games available, focusing on recent additions and notable departures.

Updated January 5, 2025, to reflect the latest Essential game additions and January departures. Rankings consider game quality and PS Plus availability. New additions are prioritized for visibility.

Top Games Leaving PS Plus Extra & Premium in January 2025

Several significant titles are rotating out of the Extra and Premium tiers on January 21st, 2025. Among the most notable are:

• Resident Evil 2 (Remake): Capcom's acclaimed 2019 remake is a standout departure. This survival horror masterpiece offers two compelling campaigns, focusing on puzzle-solving and resource management amidst a terrifying Raccoon City outbreak. While completing both campaigns before removal may be challenging, a single playthrough is achievable.

• Dragon Ball FighterZ: Arc System Works' fighting game excels in its accessible yet deep combat system. However, its single-player content, while present, can become repetitive. Given the limited time, focusing on a single playthrough of its story arcs might be the most effective use of time.
