PlayStation Plus subscribers are on the cusp of accessing a fresh batch of titles for January 2026, with the new PS Plus Extra and Premium catalogue set to go live imminently. Following a lukewarm reception to this month's Essential offerings, Sony has significantly upped the ante with its Extra tier, spearheaded by the critically acclaimed survival horror title, Resident Evil Village.
Release Schedule and Key Details
The new games, announced last week, will become available for download and play from January 20. This update is exclusive to PlayStation Plus subscribers. For UK players, the launch is scheduled for 9am GMT. This translates to a 1am PDT release for fans in the US, 4am EDT, and 10am CET for European audiences.
This timing is particularly strategic for Capcom's flagship horror entry, as it gives subscribers just over a month to experience Resident Evil Village before the anticipated launch of its sequel, Resident Evil Requiem, next month.
The January 2026 Games Line-up
The headline act, Resident Evil Village, is joined by seven other titles in the Extra catalogue. A major highlight is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which transports the series to Hawaii as protagonist Ichiban Kasuga embarks on a deeply personal quest.
Other notable inclusions are the challenging terrain simulation of Expeditions: A MudRunner Game and the critically praised turn-based roguelike, Darkest Dungeon 2, which pits players against eldritch horrors. The full list of new Extra games includes:
- A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead
- The Exit 8
- Art of Rally
- A Little to the Left
For Premium tier subscribers, the retro offering for January is a singular but beloved classic: Ridge Racer.
Final Warning: Games Leaving the Service
It's not all additions, however. Sony will also remove several titles from the Extra Games Catalog starting January 20. Subscribers should note the following games will no longer be accessible:
- Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
- Sayonara Wild Hearts
- Monopoly Plus
- SD Gundam Battle Alliance
This monthly refresh offers a robust selection for subscribers, headlined by a major horror release and complemented by a diverse mix of genres, ensuring there's fresh content to explore as the new year gets underway.
