As part of its monthly routine, PlayStation Plus has announced the January 2026 lineup of free games for subscribers. This month’s collection includes titles suitable for all types of players, ranging from racing fans to platformer enthusiasts. Highlights include the latest racing installment, Need for Speed Unbound, the remade adventure game Epic Mickey Rebrushed, and a cooperative indie adventure. The free games will be available from January 6 until February 2, giving players nearly a month to claim and enjoy them.

Need for Speed Unbound (PS5 Only)

Need for Speed Unbound introduces a fresh concept: “the world is your canvas.” Players can explore the vibrant city of Lakeshore, participate in various street races, and leave their mark on the roads. The game offers extensive car customization options and features an energetic soundtrack from A$AP Rocky and AWGE. Its visually striking anime-inspired smoke effects make the racing experience even more thrilling.

Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed (PS5/PS4)

Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a remake of Mickey Mouse’s adventure in the Wasteland, a world inhabited by forgotten cartoon characters. The story begins when Mickey accidentally triggers a magical mishap, unleashing dark forces into the world of ink. Players will meet beloved characters such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and wield a paintbrush as their main weapon to solve puzzles and battle enemies.

Core Keeper (PS5/PS4)

Core Keeper is an adventure game in which players take on the role of explorers trapped in ancient, mysterious caves. The game supports up to nine players in co-op mode, allowing friends to collaborate to survive, build bases, and craft weapons and tools. Players can farm for resources and explore procedurally generated caves filled with rare treasures and massive monsters, ensuring no two journeys are the same.

PlayStation Plus services—including Essential, Extra, Premium, and Deluxe (Thailand)—have now integrated PS Now and Plus benefits. Subscribers can enjoy features such as cloud saves, online multiplayer access, game discounts, and a vast library of first- and third-party titles across PS1, PS2, PS4, PS5, and PSP.
