At the beginning of the year, players across the globe had high hopes for the launch of both next-gen consoles. And despite a global pandemic, that excitement has remained strong with PlayStation 5 beating out PS4 for the biggest console launch in history.
Now as the year draws to a close and the holiday season begins, many will be introduced to Sony’s next-gen console as well as PS Plus for the first time, so it’s important that next month’s free games make an impact and reinforce why PlayStation owners need the online service. As such, here’s our complete PS Plus free games wish list for January 2021.
On January 20, 2021, IO Interactive is due to release Hitman 3, the final game in its World of Assassination trilogy of games that began with the Hitman (2016) reboot. One of the most exciting features in the game is the ability to import content from Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 into Hitman 3 including every mission, unlockable item, and costume. Essentially, for players that own the previous games, Hitman 3 is a one-stop-shop for the entire trilogy and the best way to experience it as all imported content will be upgraded to take advantage of the new hardware, systems, and features.
As Hitman (2016) was already released on PS Plus, releasing Hitman 2 on next month would give a lot of players instant access to all content and would be a great incentive to pick up the new game or renew their subscription. The reboot introduced a new way to experience the popular stealth franchise and Hitman 2 took everything that worked so well, unique locations and the ability to complete missions in dozens of different ways, and refined the gameplay while also offering a proper single-player story.
Hitman 2 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
When Activision announced the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, it took the world by surprise. Something that had long seemed impossible was finally happening, and players couldn’t help but speculate what this could mean for other fan-favorites like Crash Team Racing and the Spyro the Dragon trilogy. Fast forward to present day, not only has Activision has made both those dreams a reality, Vicarious Visions released a from-the-ground-up remake of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 + 2, and Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time was released by developer Toys for Bob only months ago.
Like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Toys for Bob did an excellent job on the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, a remake compilation of Spyro the Dragon, Ripto’s Rage!, and Year of the Dragon. There’s a reason Insomniac Games original trilogy were so beloved on PS One and a reason they were remade for a new generation of players to experience. With PS5 now available worldwide, a lot of kids will be getting brand new consoles on Christmas Day, and Spyro Reignited Trilogy would be the perfect family-friendly game to release on PS Plus alongside Astro’s Playroom, Bugsnax, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy is available now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Supermassive Games made a name for itself in 2015 with the release of Until Dawn, an interactive horror adventure with a star-studded cast, a focus on player choice that made it possible for every character to live or die, and a decent amount of scares. Since then, Supermassive Games has moved on to make a series of smaller horror experiences such as Man of Medan and Little Hope, but before the Dark Pictures Anthology, the team released on on-rails PSVR spinoff, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.
Released in October 2016 as a PSVR launch title, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is more of a VR experience than an actual full-length game like Half-Life: Alyx or Astro Bot Rescue Mission, but it’s an enjoyable experience overall and a great addition to any owner’s library. In Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, players are aboard a horror-themed roller coaster and shoot down various objects, enemies, and most importantly, try not to throw off the headset in fear. With patents for PSVR2 surfacing online, it’s a good time for Sony to start building up players’ libraries and selling them on the idea of ahead of time.
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is available now on PSVR.
On top of gaining access to the ongoing PS Plus Collection of games which includes some big names from the PlayStation such as God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Monster Hunter World, and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, it’s worth noting that Bugsnax will be available for free on PS5 until January 4 alongside Just Cause 4, Rocket Arena, and Worms Rumble. It’s unclear whether Sony has plans to add an additional PS5 bonus game next month given that Destruction Allstars will be free on PS Plus for two months starting in February, so hopefully, players get something to keep themselves entertained through the holidays.
PlayStation Plus members receive two free games every month with their subscription.
