Happy New Year, fellow gamers! As we step into 2025, kickstart your gaming adventures by taking on a squad of twisted superheroes and indulge in exhilarating races, both as lawbreakers and law enforcers. This month, PlayStation Plus serves up an exciting trio of titles for you to dive into starting January 7: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game, each promising unique thrills for PS Plus members*.
Let’s delve into the nitty-gritty of these games.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League | PS5
Embark on an epic mission to bring the Justice League to its knees, whether you prefer flying solo or teaming up with friends for multiplayer co-op action. Crafted by Rocksteady Studios, the geniuses behind the acclaimed Batman: Arkham series, this third-person shooter flips the script with a fresh narrative set in a sprawling Metropolis. You’ll navigate a world where DC Super-Villains clash with an alien menace and hero icons now bent on annihilation. As you explore the dynamic open-world of Metropolis, be vigilant of the explosive implants in your team’s heads, ready to detonate at any sign of rebellion. Each villain boasts unique abilities for seamless traversal, and a customizable arsenal allows for skill mastery.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered | PS4
Feel the pulse-racing thrill in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, where you can experience the euphoria of pursuit from both sides of the law in high-performance speedsters. Evade capture or apprehend offenders using tactical weapons, all within a competitive social racing framework. This remastered edition ensures heart-pounding excitement with its enhanced visuals, cross-platform play, and complete DLC collection from Criterion Games’ debut in the Need for Speed franchise. Get ready to reignite the chase!
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game | PS4
Have a laugh and cause chaos in DEEEER Simulator, where you transform into a seemingly ordinary deer with a few outrageous tricks up your sleeve. Use your stretchy neck, antlers, and more to wreak havoc across the city, or join other animals in mischief. The game teeters between whimsical play and all-out city destruction in this quirky “slow-life” experience. Stir up enough trouble, and you’ll face off against comically formidable animal police, including kung-fu sheep and bear-turned-patrolling cars. There’s even a shadowy secret waiting to be uncovered in the city. Let loose and embrace your deer potential!
Don’t miss out—these games will be available for PlayStation Plus members from January 7 to February 3.
