Deep dive into January 2026 PlayStation Plus games
The headline pick this month is Core Keeper on PS5 and PS4. This award-winning sandbox adventure drops players into a vast underground world packed with secrets. Mining, crafting, farming, and combat all come together here, with support for up to eight players. Whether you are building a base, levelling skills, or taking down towering Titans, there is a lot to dig into.
Also joining the lineup is Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed for PS5 and PS4. This remake sends Mickey Mouse into the strange world of Wasteland, where your choices matter. Using paint or thinner changes the environment, unlocks secrets, and shapes how the story unfolds, making exploration feel genuinely reactive.
Rounding out January is Need for Speed Unbound on PS5 from Criterion Games. With separate single-player and multiplayer progression, stylish visuals, and intense police chases, it delivers fast-paced racing with plenty of attitude.
January’s lineup feels well-balanced, and for subscribers, it is an easy month to justify hitting that download button.
