Happy New Year, everyone! It’s technically a holiday in most parts of the world, but Sony’s in the process of putting January 2019’s free PlayStation Plus games live – in North America, at least. While the full lineup isn’t showing as available at the time of typing, if you manually add the titles to your basket, you should be able to download them without having to pay. We assume everything will display correctly imminently as the PlayStation Store updates.
Over in Europe, December 2018’s free roster of titles are currently still available, so it looks like those of you in the Old World will be waiting until tomorrow to grab the goodies. That means you still have a few hours to nab the likes of SOMA and Onrush if you haven’t already. For a full list of all 2019’s PS Plus games, click through the link.
Update: January's PS Plus games are live in Europe as well as North America. You can now add them to your library and set them downloading. Enjoy!

They really need to stop with these weak offerings if they're going to drop PS3 and Vita games from the line-up in March. $60 a year for dead games like Steep is not acceptable.
@RBMango Steep is still relatively popular and has been getting regular updates?
@get2sammyb Has it? That's news to me. I'm pretty obsessed with hearing the latest things about gaming, and I haven't heard a noteworthy peep out of Ubisoft regarding Steep for a long time. It might have a dedicated community, but I still think it's really poor offering for one of the PS Plus freebies. Siege or Ghost Recon would have been better choices if they wanted an Ubisoft live service.
Yeah, all six games still full-priced close to midnight here. I mean, I know what January 1 is like in Eastern Europe, but seriously. XD And the UK is experiencing the delay as well?
Probably won't bother downloading any of the games this month.
Portal Knights is the only one I’m interested in, and I actually purchased it during a recent sale for $8. Ah well! Happy to support the devs.
@get2sammyb The european playstation store has been updated sort of, the december games now show to be free until january 3rd if you click on them.
@RBMango Sorry, but Steep isn't dead, plenty of people play it daily. It's still supported just fine, what makes you think it IS dead?
@Optimusultimus Because I've barely heard anything significant about it, unlike other Ubisoft multiplayer games like Siege, For Honor, and Wildlands. They didn't say anything about cancelling its Switch port until questioned, and it didn't sell very well from what I read. I think it's fair to say most people forgot it existed until recently, and them allowing it to be free for a month speaks volumes to how small of a playerbase it has.
Maybe "dead" is too strong of an adjective. What's one tier beneath dying? Mildly sustained?
@get2sammyb Ya I’m looking forwarding to downloading it, but man I miss SSX.
@RBMango I don't know how you degine "dead" or "mildly sustained", but there are enough people playing online and Ubisoft keeps releasing free updates with new modes and DLC as well.
The fact that you haven't heard of these things or sites don't report on them, doesn't mean it's dead.
@RBMango Just because you don't hear of something for a bit doesn't mean it's dead.
@Optimusultimus @Kidfried Point taken.
My kids adore portal knights so I n recommend that one easily. Tried Steep for a few hours and just not a fan. Ahh well hopefully February's selection is good as well!
Still nothing for me at 3pm in the UK
It’s now 8pm for me and the new January ps plus games are still not out.
still not showing up for me
@GoodGame @Artem8000 @manu0 It is not showing on the ps plus list but they are already free with PS plus.
Steep: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP0001-CUSA05526_00-STEEPGAMEEEFIGS1
Portal Knights: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP4040-CUSA06287_00-PORTALKNIGHTS000
I renewed my PS Plus sub for a year a few days ago, but I think this month I may give Portal Knights a try, as Steep isn't really appealing to me. May still give it a shot though. Also, I'm about 65% through Uncharted 3 in the Nathan Drake Collection, so I was kinda hoping Uncharted 4 would be offered on Plus at some point this year. I doubt it though, since it is part of the Greatest Hits program. Oh well, I may pick up a good used physical copy on the cheap.
When do February games get announced as January was pointless for me. The wait begins...
one of the worst months on record i have to say... not sure why sony decided to start out the year with a bummer lineup.
Doesn't the store in the UK usually have them up around or after 3pm I just add them to my list but won't be playing Steep. Only ever snowboarding game I ever loved was SSX Tricky and I'd kill for a remaster of remake of that title alone. Shame that EA own the IP I wouldn't want them to do it now it'll be full of loot boxes to buy boards instead of earning them by getting gold medals like you did in previous games.
@Nakatomi_Uk Yeah, just like they did with Burnout paradise! Full of... oh, wait, no, my mistake.
Downloaded Steep ready to go. Rightly or wrongly, I have boycotted Ubisoft games since Far Cry 3 as everything past that has just seemed cookie cutter or pushed out the door faster than a dog circling in the kitchen. However, Steep might be the one to break that self imposed rule. Or, will focus on completing RDR2. 76% through the main story..must keep going!!
Australian store on mobile. Added ps3 amplitude to my library from psplus then searched for ps4 amplitude on the store and downloaded it for free. Is this supposed to be cross buy?
