Typically, PS Plus offers three games each month, covering both PS5 and PS4. This means even if you haven’t upgraded to the latest console, you can still benefit from the monthly drop. Occasionally, the lineup may vary slightly, with more or fewer titles, but the principle remains the same: claim them while you can, because once added, they stay available as long as your subscription is active. Considering the cost of top-tier PS5 games, this can be a significant way to get more value from your console each month.

The January 2026 free games remain available until February 2. After that, February’s collection begins, featuring a mix of boxing, aerial combat, and deep-sea survival. Here’s what’s coming next for PS Plus members:
