Happy New Year, fellow gamers! What better way to dive into 2025 than by tackling corrupt superheroes and engaging in high-speed pursuits? This January, PlayStation Plus is treating us to a fantastic trio of games: “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” “Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered,” and the quirky “DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game,” all launching on January 7 for PS Plus members.*
Let’s get into the details of these exciting releases.
First up, “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” is making its debut on PS5. It’s a game-changer from Rocksteady Studios, the masterminds behind the revered Batman: Arkham series. Here, you’ll dive into a unique single-player experience or join forces with friends in multiplayer co-op. The game presents an original storyline set in a sprawling open-world Metropolis. Get ready to play as one of four DC Super-Villains facing off against alien invaders and the corrupted heroes of the Justice League. These heroes, once protectors, are now threats. But beware! Each squad member boasts a unique set of skills and an arsenal of customizable weapons. You’ll need to think strategically, especially with those explosive implants in your heads!
Next, we have the adrenaline-pumping “Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered” available for PS4. Experience the sheer thrill of high-speed chases whether you’re the lawbreaker or the enforcer. With a roster of the world’s top-performing cars, you can choose to evade the cops or bring justice at top speed. Its enhanced visuals breathe new life into this action-packed game. Plus, its cross-platform multiplayer features ensure you’ll never race alone. And let’s not forget, the Autolog system keeps the competitive heat on with its asynchronous matchmaking. It’s time to rev up those engines and revive the chase in this definitive edition from Criterion Games.
Finally, get ready for some wild antics with “DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game” on PS4. Here, you step into the hooves of a not-so-ordinary deer, equipped with a stretchy neck and pointy horns. You can wreak havoc across the city, goof around with other animals, or completely level the town. But beware! Stir up too much mischief, and you’ll find yourself up against some formidable animal cops—from kung fu sheep to bears morphing into police cars. Ever seen rabbits with ridiculously long ears? They’re out to nab you! So, live out your deer fantasies, uncover the city’s secrets, and enjoy the chaos!
Mark your calendars—these games will be accessible to PlayStation Plus members from January 7 until February 3.
In case you missed it, ensure you grab December’s gems before it’s too late. “It Takes Two,” “Aliens: Dark Descent,” and “Temtem” are available until January 6. Remember, the lineup might vary by region, so check the PlayStation Store on launch day to see what’s available in your area. Happy gaming!
