PlayStation Plus subscribers are angry at the list of free games coming to the service and are making it clear via various forums.
It is therefore more precisely the list of games integrating PlayStation Plus Essential which has attracted the wrath of subscribers. As a reminder, these will arrive on January 7 and will be available until February 4. If they include a real gem and the remaster of a rather popular game, it is especially the third game on the list which has caused an outcry among subscribers.
The squad of angry PlayStation Plus subscribers
The lineup of PlayStation Plus games for January will therefore include the excellent The Stanley Parable, Ultra Deluxe version, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered and… Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. One of the biggest flops of 2024, including support from Warner Bros. Games and Rocksteady will shut down this month after just four seasons (and also an estimated net loss of $200 million). In any case, this welcomes Deathstroke as a new character, as well as an offline mode.
It is therefore clearly the presence of the latter in the January PlayStation Plus catalog which deeply displeases subscribers. Given the state of brain death announced for Suicide Squad, some consider it shameful to integrate this game into the Essential tier. “ The game isn't even worth a penny – Amazon gave it to Prime Gaming subscribers – Are they really going to start 2025 by shoving a dead game-service that no one wants? », This kind of reaction is unfortunately quite understandable, given the damaging disaster that Suicide Squad was for Warner, and especially for the formerly beloved studio Rocksteady (Batman Arkham).
To add salt to the wound, a Reddit user shared a comparison of PlayStation Plus game offers in January of previous years, with every year big titles like Uncharted Collection, Persona 5 Strikers, Deep Rock Galactic , Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order or A Plague Tale Requiem. As you can see in the insert below, these were generally much more spoiled from January 2020 to January 2024. It remains to be seen whether the games in the Extra and Premium tiers will be more worthy of the subscription price. requested to benefit from it.
