PlayStation Plus Exclusive Titles Revealed for January 2024: Resident Evil 2 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Take the Spotlight

January brings an exciting lineup to PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/Premium members, headlined by the survival horror classic Resident Evil 2. Starting January 16, players can dive into the ominous corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department as the iconic rookie cop, Leon S. Kennedy, facing the relentless onslaught of flesh-eating zombies. This remake of the 1998 masterpiece also offers an alternative perspective through the eyes of college student Claire Redfield, unraveling a chilling conspiracy involving bizarre experiments and sinister corporations. Compatible with both PS4 and PS5, Resident Evil 2 promises a spine-chilling experience.

Embark on a whimsical and chaotic journey with Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, where players join the vivacious Tiny Tina to thwart the Dragon Lord in a world brimming with bullets, magic, and eccentric loot. Set in a tabletop RPG format, players can choose from six distinct classes, customizing their characters and utilizing a mix of skills to triumph over challenges. The game supports both online and local split-screen multiplayer and will be available on both PS4 and PS5, promising an immersive and entertaining escapade.

For those seeking explosive action, Just Cause 3 takes center stage for PS Plus Extra and Deluxe members on the PS4. Set in a vast Mediterranean sandbox, players assume the role of Rico Rodriguez armed with explosive weaponry and gadgets. The objective: dismantle the ruling dictator’s empire by creatively destroying outposts, utilizing everything from aerial maneuvers to grapple hooks. With 1000 km² of open-world exploration, Just Cause 3 offers a dynamic and exhilarating gaming experience.

These titles, along with Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong and Hardspace: Shipbreaker, form a diverse and engaging selection for PlayStation Plus members in January, providing a rich variety of gaming experiences across different genres.

Leverage your skills in stealth to sneak inside towering castles and hidden forest camps to take on challenging assassination missions and slowly build trust amongst your comrades. Set in the Edo period of Japan, Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun has you control five specialists in espionage — a ninja, geish, trap expert, and more — to hunt down conspiring enemies from the shadows and restore peace in the lands. Meanwhile, Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong pits you in a present-day Boston where bloodthirsty vampires walk among humans, residing secretly and hiding their nocturnal desires. Choose between intimidation tactics, seduction, and stealth to solve the mystery surrounding an attack on the secret society and shut down rumours about a power struggle. It’ll drop on the PS4 and PS5.

Put on your plastic uniform and go undercover to stop the notorious convict Rex Fury from unleashing a crime wave across the sprawling metropolis in LEGO City Undercover. Bust car thieves, prevent robberies, get into wild car chases, and investigate over 20 unique districts singlehandedly or with a friend (via co-op). Skating enthusiasts can dip their toes into Session, a realistic simulator ‘that combines ‘90s skate culture aesthetic with modern gameplay.’ It comes with a tone of customisation options and dual stick control, where each stick represents your in-game feet, forcing you to transfer weight seamlessly on a skateboard and perfect showy tricks.

All these and more were unveiled on the PlayStation Blog and will be available exclusively to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe members in January (PS Plus Deluxe is called PS Plus Premium in select markets). Last month’s catalogue included Grand Theft Auto V, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, and Metal: Hellsinger to name just a few.
