Happy New Year! If you’re a gamer looking to start 2025 with a bang, PlayStation Plus has you covered this January. Whether you’re battling a band of fallen superheroes or racing on both sides of the law, these games are set to thrill. This month, available from January 7th for PlayStation Plus members, we have “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” “Need for Speed Hot Pursuit,” and the whimsical “DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game.”
Let’s dive into what these games bring to the table.
First up is “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” for PS5. Rocksteady Studios, famous for the Batman: Arkham series, bring you this fresh narrative within a sprawling open-world Metropolis. You can tackle The Justice League solo or with friends in multiplayer mode. The game’s plot thrusts four DC super-villains into a chaotic clash against superhero saviors gone rogue and alien invaders trying to obliterate the city they once gratified. But beware—the squad’s every rebellion could cause the bombs in their heads to go kaboom. Each character has unique skills and traversal capabilities to freely explore the vibrant cityscape, not to mention a buffet of customizable weapons to master along the way.
Next on our list is “Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered” for PS4. Feel the adrenaline on both sides of the law as you dash through heart-pounding chases. Whether you’re evading officers or hunting down lawbreakers, relish the raw speed and mesmerizing visuals that this game showcases. With cross-platform multiplayer and Autolog-powered asynchronous competition, it’s a socially exhilarating ride, packed with all previously released DLC content for the quintessential racing showdown.
Then there’s “DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game” on PS4, for gamers who enjoy the outright bizarre. Here, you embody an average deer with not-so-average skills. Wreak havoc through the city with your extendable neck, piercing horns, and nimble legs. Whether you’re causing mischief alone or frolicking with fellow animals, this game is all about embracing wacky fun. But don’t get too comfortable—animal police featuring kung fu sheep and bear-car hybrids are on your tail, ready to bring you down!
Ready to jump into these experiences? Mark your calendars, as all three titles are part of the PlayStation Plus offerings starting January 7 up until February 3.
Before that, ensure you grab December’s games before they vanish on January 6. Titles like “It Takes Two,” “Aliens: Dark Descent,” and “Temtem” are still there for the taking.
As a quick note, the PlayStation Plus lineup can vary by region—check your local PlayStation Store on release day for your specific options.
