What’s the January 2018 PS Plus lineup? Ho ho ho, that’s the question we’re here to ponder, as a New Year lingers right around the corner. It’s been a pretty good 2017 for PlayStation Plus – particularly the last six months of the year – but Sony will be looking to keep things fresh over the next 12 months, as it hopes to retain your attention (and subscription fee) through 2018. Which leaves us with the big question: what PS+ goodies are you hoping for?
When will January 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games be announced?
Assuming that Sony sticks to its usual rollout schedule, then we should learn about January 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games on Wednesday, 27th December. However, the Xmas holidays may complicate matters, and the platform holder could decide to bring the reveal forward to Wednesday, 20th December – or any day in the week prior to Christmas. Our bet is still Wednesday, 27th December, but we’re not as certain this month as we usually are.
When will January 2018’s free PS Plus games be available to download?
One thing we are sure of is that January 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games will be available to download from Tuesday, 2nd January. Bank on it.
What are January 2018’s free PS Plus games?
Ah, this is the big question, isn’t it? While we don’t know at the time of typing, we can make some reasonable assumptions. For starters, it’s too early in the year to expect brand new releases, so Sony will probably be diving into its archives again. On the PS4, the balance between “big” releases and “indie” titles has been good of late, so we’d like to see that continue into the New Year. One thing worthy of note is that the Until Dawn: Rush of Blood bonus, which has been free for PSVR owners for a couple of months, is set to expire on Tuesday, 2nd January, so there’s a good chance we may see a new virtual reality title rotated in.
Which free January 2018 PlayStation Plus games do you want?
So what are you hoping to get out of your PS Plus subscription in January 2018 – and the rest of the year? Are there any changes you’d like to see Sony make to the subscription service, and what are they? Let us know.
What free January 2018 PS Plus games do you want? Are you happy with the service at the moment? Follow the usual drill in the comments section below.

Gravity Rush remastered, god of war 3 remastered, bloodbourne. Doubtful we will get anything of this ilk, mire likely some indie games tbh
alienation, a generic 2D platformer, a AAA PS3 only game, and another cross platform generic 2D platformer.
Bloodborne, please. Not super likely, but it would be nice.
Fingers crossed for another Kung Fu Panda game.
NieR: Automata, new Dishonored game, Street Fighter 5, Dark Souls 2 or Hellblade.
Or.. a new unreleased game like they used to do.
Whatever the PSVR game is, it's a near guarantee I'll have recently purchased it. Actually... that's true of all of the games. Haha.
I'm not complaining--I buy too many games when they're mega on sale and I don't have time to play all of them! Totally my own fault.
@ShogunRok Let's not get greedy!
I've been meaning to buy Darkest Dungeon, Sonic Mania, Lethal League, Momodora, Pyre, Rez and Gang Beasts for a while. Okami HD would also be a treat!
Dear Esther, Overcooked, Salt and Sanctuary...
Too soon to ask for Rime?
A good AAA'er will do and something decent again for the trusty ol' Vita.
Well, it can't be worse than this month at least. A small indie game like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter would be perfect, by the way.
I like to see a souls game or bloodborn. Id would be awesome maybe the resident Origins collection
Last months selection were not for me. Im really hoping for another vr game or an old ubisoft game like siege or rayman.
Steep & Homefront: The Revolution.
How bout For Honor. Giving it away for free could really boost the player count.
@Darksec i would rather want Gravity rush on vita
I think a PS exclusive trilogy game like Uncharted or Crash would be fun, but I would like to see Playstation mix it up a bit. How about a nice pack of themes, a free movie, or 1 free month of PS+. Or maybe a better indie game like The Witness or I am Setsuna. Who knows, guess we will find out soon enough.
Anything good as November or October, I don't want to pay PS+ just for Monster Hunter!
I’ve been wanting Inside, so maybe this is the month when my waiting pays off.
I’ll take Bloodborne as well.
Is it too early to ask for Mass Effect Andromeda? It’s not like it’s setting the world on fire as far as sales go. Every time I turn around the price has dropped again. I think its like $20 now at retailers.
I'm not sure, but I believe that in 2016 we had Grim Fandango, this year was Day of the Tentacle, so I believe that Full Throtle will be free in January. All these games were made by Tim Schafer.
Bioshock: Collection, or even just the first one if they're able to do that. Hellblade would be really cool.
maybe bloodborn or Mass Effect: A, for the new year.
The Order: 1886 would be nice.
BLACK OPS 2 OR MW3
The problem with all the AAA games everyone is asking for is million's of us who purchased them Do Not want to see them as a free PS Plus game!!!
@JohnKarnes Therein lies the double-edged sword of PS Plus — we all are hoping for high quality games that we want to play, but the high quality games we want to play we’ve already bought.
@Th3solution Thats why i like the more strange titles. But Kungfu Panda is terrible.
Believe it or not , nothing. Because my ps plus is over and i don't see a reason to buy one.
KnaTHE ORDER
I've got a PSVR sitting under the xmas tree, so hopefully some good VR stuff.
I would like Okami HD if possiable. The Last of Us would be a nice treat too. Uncharted 4 would be very nice too.
I want Robinson the Journey because it is too expensive still for a VR punt but I want to give it a go!
I suspect Lawbreakers.
I'll wish a couple of titles for franchise binge as per usual lately - Wolfenstein, Valkyria Chronicles, maybe even Gravity Rush 2 before the online goes down with whatever unlockables that provided, since I'm not sure if I can squeeze the game into my expenses within a month. Then again, would Sony really give out a game a fortnight before pulling the plug on part of its functionality?
Not going to reprise the usual whims for Vita, they remain broadly genre-related as a rule. I may well be in the "no time for PS Plus" camp this month after investing in a bunch on Nintendo hardware (from SMT4 Apocalypse and Theatrythm to Skyrim and Enter the Gungeon), although I'll be sure to download and check out everything I can.
December's best offering so far is Forma.8 for me. Wanted Corp looks interesting, much due to its capture mechanics and challenges, but I seem to be facing some kind of bug because I can't switch ammo types by myself, either via buttons or via touchscreen. The only solution is switching characters and instructing the AI (but it only comes into effect once the duo engages in combat). Due to network issues on my end and other IRL stuff, I only got a brief taste of PS4 titles yesterday; Kung Fu Panda is reminiscent of Super Smash Bros (or is it par for the course with all 2D arena brawlers these days?) while Darksiders looks like a neat action RPG whose mechanics might suggest what I should expect in God of War games (although there is apparent emphasis on platforming, too). With the first game available on PS4, consider this franchise on my radar now, too.
Anything but I won't get to play it till 8th January lol cause I have a feeling the networks will get attacked as always. I hope it doesn't because I'm currently playing co-op on many games
I've been strongly considering getting Enter the Gungeon, but if it were a free game I would be ecstatic. I think it looks like tons of fun, and if it were free I could put money towards other games I really want.
@ShogunRok haha! Yes.
Actually a good fighting game would be nice. I don't own one yet.
SOMA, please! I always tend to forget to pick it up when it goes on sale and it hasn't been reduced in the current holiday sale(s)!! One can hope ... Right?
Ben 10 ,Dead by Daylight, Watch Dogs 2
Lovely Planet would be kewl.
Can one of them be a choice of a film instead pls. My backlog is getting longer and longer each month!
A lot of asks for bloodborne, I've started playing it again and I've noticed a lot of my psn friends have also, even if the new trailer isn't bloodborne 2 it seems to have resparked instrest in the first one
It looks like it will be Batman taletales and Deus Ex mankind Devided.
