Exciting New Additions to PlayStation Plus in 2025

Sony has just announced the first wave of PlayStation Plus games for January 2025, much to the delight of subscribers across all service tiers. This month's lineup features three titles: the beloved indie classic *The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe*, the fast-paced racing thrill of *Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered*, and the much-discussed *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League*.

While this selection may not send gamers into a frenzy, *The Stanley Parable* certainly deserves a spotlight. Originally conceived as a mod for Half-Life 2 back in 2011, it was later released in 2013 and revamped with the *Ultra Deluxe* version in 2022. This new edition enhances the original experience with an expanded script, offering players additional choices and new dialogue as they navigate through its whimsically perplexing narrative. As the creators, Davey Wreden and William Pugh, wittily put it, “Everything you remember has been recreated, yet it's different somehow.” If you haven’t explored this genre-defining title, now is the perfect opportunity!

Next in line is *Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered*. First introduced in 2010, the game received a visually appealing update for PS4 in 2020. It provides players the option to take on the role of either the racer or the cop, boasting full career modes and engaging multiplayer experiences. This remaster also includes all downloadable content from the original game, ensuring a comprehensive racing experience.

The last title in this month's lineup, *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League*, has generated significant buzz—but not all of it is positive. Despite being released just this past February, the game faced multiple delays and unflattering reviews, reportedly costing Warner Bros. a staggering $200 million to develop. Adding to its woes, developers recently announced that the current content season would be its last, although there are no immediate plans to shut down the game. With its short lifespan and hefty price tag of $70, many players may contemplate whether it’s worth diving into this sinking ship. However, thanks to its inclusion in PlayStation Plus, gamers can now experience it without the hefty upfront cost.

As a reminder to all subscribers: whether you’re revisiting classic indie tales or revving up in a high-speed chase, this month offers something for everyone. So grab your controllers and get ready to enjoy these new additions!
