PlayStation Plus free games for the Extra and Premium tiers have been announced for January 2023.
The middle and upper ranks will add new games for subscribers to play from Tuesday January 17th.
Extra offers users a library of hundreds of games to download on PS4 and PS5, turning on and off like a video streamer. Premium expands the library even further with remasters and retro titles, including “new” emulated versions of PS1 and PSP games.
Games listed as PS5/PS4 have native versions for both systems, but games listed as PS4 only are fully playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility and are sometimes enhanced with better performance, graphics and load times.
