PS Plus in 2024 had a pretty good year. It didn’t quite hit the highs of 2023, but there were some solid games, especially towards the end of the year. But now we are in 2025, and we have a new selection of games to enjoy. January will kick things off.

The Outlast Trials – PS5, PS4
Red Barrels invites you to experience mind-numbing terror, this time with friends. Whether you go through the trials alone or in teams, if you survive long enough and complete the therapy, Murkoff will happily let you leave… but will you be the same?
Set in the era of the Cold War, human guinea pigs are involuntarily recruited by the good folks at the Murkoff Corporation to test advanced methods of brainwashing and mind control. In a world of distrust, fear, and violence, your morals will be challenged, your endurance tested, and your sanity crushed. All in the name of progress, science, and profit.
