There’s little doubt many are excited to see what thePS Plusfree games for January 2022 are. After all, some may think this selection may influence and/or set the tone for the service all year. With howPS Plustypically swaps up its patterns, though, this is unlikely even in a speculative sense.
One thing that hasn’t changed from the past few months, though, is the leaks. For the past 6-7 months now, the PS Plus free games have leaked online ahead of their official reveal. These have turned out to be reliable to an incredibly high degree every time. As such, the same source already leaked thePS Plus free games for January 2022, and while it should have been taken with a grain of salt until now, they have been officially announced.

Leaked accurately, Sony confirmed today that the three free PS Plus games for next month areDeep Rock Galactic(PS4/PS5),Persona 5 Strikers(PS4), andDirt 5(PS4/PS5). The first is a class-based four-player co-op shooter where players take on alien hordes in procedurally generated caves.Persona 5 Strikersoperates as a semi-sequel to the base game but takes on a unique hybrid of tactical and Musou game combat. Finally,Dirt 5is a racing simcade game and the last one beforeCodemasters’ acquisition.
The jury is still out on how these games will be received, but there is a nice bit of variety here: co-op shooter, Musou JRPG, and racing. The safest play with PS Plus every month is variety, as it more likely means there’s a little something for everyone. And for anyone interested in these games, they’ll be available on July 04, 2025.
At the same time, LEGO games are often solid and fun platformers for fans of LEGOs or its subjects, andMortal Shellis a nice soulslike appetizer ahead ofElden Ring’s releasein February. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see what the new year brings for PS Plus.
