PS Plus Essential Tier subscribers can now download A Plague Tale: Requiem, Evil West, and Nobody Saves the World. Subscribers should act quickly, but there's really no rush, as these titles will remain the focus of this tier until February 5. A Plague Tale: Requiem is only available on PS5, while Evil West and Nobody Saves the World have native versions on PS4 and PS5.

It's a really strong start to the year for the service. A Plague Tale: Requiem not only received high reviews at launch, but it also received several awards in the months after its launch. Nobody Saves the World is a fun, procedural dungeon crawl with a great gimmick, and Evil West lays everything on the line with its fun action gameplay. It'll be interesting to see what Sony picks for the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for January 2024, but the sheer quality of this selection is undeniable.

Some PS Plus Subscribers Are Getting a Different Free Game for January 2024

PS Plus members will get to play some new games this month, but some subscribers will get access to a completely different game.

For the uninitiated, A Plague Tale: Requiem is a sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, and it's highly recommended that anyone who hasn't played the first game does so before playing Requiem (of course, it's possible to claim it and wait, however). The two games tell the story of Amicia and her little brother Hugo, as the two are hunted for the supernatural powers of the latter. Without going into spoilers, it's worth emphasizing that it's effectively a story-focused action-adventure game, and the story is top-notch.

PS Plus Free Games for January 2024 List

  • A Plague Tale: Requiem (PS5)
  • Evil West (PS4/PS5)
  • Nobody Saves the World (PS4/PS5)

Meanwhile, Evil West's story falls a bit flat, instead putting all of its emphasis on the action-packed gameplay. It's a bit short, but given that it's basically free on PS Plus, anyone who loves the supernatural, B movies, and fun gameplay may find it hard to ignore. Nobody Saves the World is a co-op RPG dungeon-crawler, where players are "nobodies" who can change forms into other creatures for a fun time.

Of course, PS Plus isn't done with January yet. Fans can expect a proper PS Plus Extra and Premium reveal next week, with the new games likely to be released on January 16.
