The PlayStation Blog has just revealed the free PlayStation Plus Essential games for January 2024 and it’s a pretty awesome lineup to kick off the new year.
January PS Plus essential games consist of three PS5 games, two of which also have PS4 versions. The list includes A Plague Tale Requiem which is the sequel to A Plague Tale Innocence. Requiem sees Amecia and her brother Hugo embark on a heartrending journey after escaping their homeland. A Plague Tale Requiem is well-reviewed by both critics and fans and currently has a Metascore of 82.
Next up is Evil West a third-person action shooter that has some great combat. Evil West was released in November last year and was on my wishlist at the time but I never got around to buying it, now I don’t have to. Evil West currently sits with a very respectable 73 on Metacritic.
Last but certainly not least is Nobody Saves The World, an action RPG where you complete quests and can swap between over 15 varied and distinct forms. Nobody Save The World has also been reviewed positively and has a Metascore of 79.
Check out trailers for January’s PS Plus games below. January’s games will be available to download or add to your library from January 2nd.
As a bonus, Warframe fans can also grab the Warframe Syrinx Collection on January 2nd. The Syrinx Collection is an exclusive PS Plus pack for Warframe containing weapons, armour and other items.
