Happy New Year! What better way to start your 2025 gaming adventures than by squaring off against a troupe of rogue superheroes or hitting the gas in high-speed chases with January’s PlayStation Plus Monthly Games. Mark January 7 on your calendar to dive into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, embrace the thrill in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and venture into the quirky world of DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game, all available for PlayStation Plus members.
Let’s break down what each of these games has to offer.
First up, we have Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for the PS5. Whether you’re gearing up for a solo mission or gathering your pals for some multiplayer action, this game invites you into an exhilarating third-person shooter experience presented by the esteemed Rocksteady Studios, who brought us the legendary Batman: Arkham series. Set against the backdrop of an expansive Metropolis, this original storyline throws four notorious DC Super-Villains into a fierce battle against alien invaders and their former superhero allies. It’s a survival game with a twist—our antiheroes must circumvent the deadly implants in their heads threatening to blow at any sign of betrayal. Each member of the squad boasts a unique skill set, complete with advanced movement through Metropolis, customizable weaponry, and an array of abilities to conquer.
Switching gears to high-octane racing, we have Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered on PS4. Feel the exhilarating adrenaline as you either blaze through the roads as an outlaw or enforce the law in heart-pounding car chases. This rendition not only delivers stunning enhanced visuals but also offers cross-platform multiplayer and a robust collection of DLC content. Engage in competitive racing with Autolog’s asynchronous challenges, reliving Criterion Games’ much-loved series opener with renewed fervor. Rev up those engines and dive back into the chaos of the chase.
Then there’s the fantastically absurd adventure of DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game for PS4. This isn’t your typical wildlife experience. Step into the hooves of a rather extraordinary deer, equipped with all the bizarre powers you need to wreak havoc in a city. Whether you’re bending the rules of physics with your stretchable neck or causing chaos with your antlers, this “slow-life town destruction game” offers a unique blend of mischief and exploration. But be warned—push the limits, and you’ll be facing a lineup of bizarre adversaries: from kung fu sheep to bear police cars, not to mention giant-eared bunny enforcers. Unleash your inner deer and unearth the mysterious secrets lurking within the city confines.
Remember, all three games are yours to explore from January 7 until February 3 with a PlayStation Plus subscription.
Don’t forget; there’s still time to snag December’s offerings. Make sure you add It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem to your collection by January 6.
