What’s the January 2019 PlayStation Plus lineup? And when exactly will the January 2019 PS Plus lineup be revealed? We're entering a new era for PS+, as Sony will scrap PlayStation 3 and PS Vita support once March rolls around. That means that January 2019 represents one of the last hurrahs for the Japanese giant's legacy systems when it comes to PS Plus, and the company's yet to confirm how the service will evolve moving forwards. We're expecting some sizeable changes to the subscription later this year, but in the meantime here's all of the latest rumour and speculation regarding Jan 2019's update.
For a recap, check out our full list of all free PS Plus games in 2019.
When will January 2019’s free PS Plus games be announced?
Well, this is extremely tricky. Sony ordinarily announces the latest PlayStation Plus games on the final Wednesday in the month, but that happens to be 26th December this year – a holiday. We're expecting an announcement to come on 2nd January, but there's every possibility that the platform holder could go earlier. It's almost impossible to predict, but we'll be sure to take a break from our Christmas holiday and bring you all the news as it breaks on Push Square and on our YouTube channel.
When will January 2019’s free PlayStation Plus games be available to download?
It depends when Sony announces the PS Plus lineup as to when it will be available. Ordinarily we'd be looking at 1st January, but that's another holiday, and there's every chance the selection may not even be announced by then. More realistically we're probably looking at the games being available for download from 8th January, but we'll see.
What are January 2019’s free PS Plus games?
Sony did a really good job with PlayStation Plus in 2018, responding to criticism and offering the big blockbusters that subscribers demanded. We're expecting more of the same in January 2019, especially during these early parts of the year before the PS3 and PS Vita are ditched. We'd like to see a few more PSVR bonus games join the roster, and we'd like to see the aforementioned platforms sent out in style. As for the PS4, we reckon the lineup has been really good of late, so we'd be happy with more of the same.
What free January 2019 PlayStation Plus games do you want?
And now it's your turn: what PS Plus games would you like in January 2019? Is there anything on the PS3 and PS Vita that you'd love to receive before Sony pulls the plug? How do you think PlayStation Plus needs to change and evolve in 2019? Let us know.

From marketing point of view this makes no sense. Release the games early because so many people have new PlayStation’s. Also a chance for people to renew or buy a PlayStation plus membership. But I guess they have their reasons.
If it's any of the games I get for Christmas I'll flip me lid.
I want The Order: 1886. I know it's supposed to be a bit naff but it's probably worth a play. I keep seeing it in sales for like £6 and stuff but refuse to buy it because it'll come to Plus about four minutes after I do.
@johncalmc Personally, I really enjoyed The Order... didn't find it naff at all. Good story, and gorgeous visuals. It would be nice to get it on Plus, as I've been considering re-buying it for some time.
I'd like to see Nex Machina on Plus next month.
Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2.
I hope night in the woods will be on psplus, I want to buy it but I think there's no discount on that game ever.
ME: Shadow of War would be my choice (now that it's been rebalanced in the summer update; also the dlc is on sale atm so would likely pick that up if main game was free on Plus). Hellblade would be another alternative I'd like. As for indie wants then I'd second Nex Machina, and add that Undertale, Celeste, Inside, Abzu, Edith Finch, and Owlboy are still at the top of my indie wishlist...though it'll probably end up being The Witness we get as I just picked that up in the sale yesterday! 😛
Celeste and The last remnant.
New release, but I'd love to see Subnautica.
With all the VR deals leading up to Christmas, I would like to see a VR title be included in ps plus. Flight or Robinsons journey would be good.
I would love a horror title.
Haha jk, we don't need anymore.
We Happy Few and Steep for PS4, Stacking for PS3, Uncharted: Golden Abyss for Vita, Driver 76 for PSP, Timesplitters 2 for PS2 and Nightmare Creatures for PS1!
Yakuza 0. One of the best games I played in 2018, and seeing that they offered Yakuza Kiwami in November, those who enjoyed Kiwami should definitely give 0 a try.
Cities skylines, Industry Giant or Aven Colony.
I'm really hoping Hellblade hits plus. I have a little bit of a backlog and will be a little "game broke" for the first few months of the year.
@MistressTonberry shadow of war complete edition is around $23 right now if u didnt know
Patapon, Cities Skylines, the long dark, never alone would be great
I like the ideas already presented for Nex Machina, Night in the Woods, and Shadow of War. I might add Metro Redux, which would be pretty cool since the new Metro game is due out in Feb. I’ve never played a Metro game and I’m curious.
@themcnoisy Having a management sim / city builder itch? Same here, playing Tropico 5 atm and looking to get Jurassic World Evolution in the current sale.
Aven Colony is great, plays like a charm on PS4.
@ellsworth004 Thanks for the heads up! Been waiting for the complete edition to hit that equivalent pricepoint in the UK, but hasn't quite dropped that low yet. Think lowest I've seen it on PSN or physical is £23 around Black Friday period, which I think is roughly $28, but I've the biggest backlog so I don't mind waiting a while if it's not on plus soon.
@JJ-firl I will pick that up for sure. Even if its not part of ps plus.
Vampyr, been wanting to try that for a while
Gravity Rush 1&2 would be great as well as Celeste
It's unfair that Xbox players gets star wars Battlefront 2 for free! Give us star wars, no more bad selections please

Thanks for understanding
I would like The Mummy demasted. Its so rare the game comes on sale and when it does u only same like 10% Besides that i just want any roguelite games! 😁
I want any Assassins Creed games & Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Seige also maybe even the new Shadows Of The Tomb Raider game something actually good
kingdom hearts 3 and marvels spider-man or the last remnant
I would love to see far cry primal
The Shadow of the Colossus remake would be cool to see. Also maybe Slime Rancher or some other indie, like Swords of Ditto or Guacamelee 2.
They just got announced.
They suck.
I'm cool with Steep. It's one I've considered purchasing when on sale, but never pulled the trigger. Portal Knights I'm not familiar with. It sounds like a Minecraft knock-off.
