Sony is set to freshen up the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers with a in January. The obvious headliner here is (PS4 and PS5), one of PlayStation’s biggest blockbusters from the last few years.
The epic 2022 adventure sees Kratos and his son Atreus attempting to prevent an event that could bring about the end of the world. Studio Santa Monica expanded on the core game in late 2023 with the that acts as an epilogue. Kratos can wield permanent upgrades as well as temporary ones that only last for the duration of a given run.
If you haven’t done so already, we’d highly recommend playing through God of War before delving into Ragnarök. The story of the 2018 game feeds directly into that of the sequel (and it’s a darn good game too). Thankfully, God of War is also in the Game Catalog.
Another new addition that’s well worth checking out is the brilliant rhythm action title (PS4). It tells the story of a young woman attempting to repair her broken heart through a series of imaginative levels, all set to an absolutely banging pop music soundtrack. Sayonara Wild Hearts was an Apple Arcade launch title, but it left that service a few months ago. It’s one of my two favorite games of all time, and I can’t recommend it enough.
The highly regarded sci-fi RPG Citizen Sleeper is in the mix as well. It’ll hit the Game Catalog a week and a half before the sequel, , drops on January 31.
Other newcomers to the Extra tier include the 2023 Like A Dragon spinoff, (PS4 and PS5), action RPGs Atlas Fallen: Reign Of Sand (PS5) and SD Gundam Battle Alliance (PS4 and PS5), action-adventure title ANNO: Mutationem (PS4 and PS5), tower defense game Orcs Must Die! 3 (PS4 and PS5) and Poker Club (PS4).
Premium subscribers will get access to another two games on top of all of those. Those are Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (PS4 and PS5), which debuted on PS2 in 2009, and Medievil II (PS4 and PS5), which originally hit the PS1 in 2000.
These games will hit the PS Plus Game Catalog on January 21. As a reminder, PlayStation Portal owners can now in the catalog from the cloud.
