PlayStation Plus Games For January 2019 Announced (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)

Free the games.

63 Comments

It may be hard to believe, but 2018 is nearly over. That means it won't be long before January rolls around, bringing PlayStation Plus members a new set of free PS4, PS3, and PS Vita games to add to their collection. Sony has announced January's lineup, so let's dive in and see what you'll be able to download from PSN between January 1 and February 5.

PS4 owners can pick up Steep, an extreme sports game from Ubisoft that lets you ski, snowboard, and glide in a wing suit to go from a mountain's snowy peaks to its powdery base. The other PS4 game for January is Portal Knights, which takes the building component of Minecraft and constructs around it an RPG that encourages crafting and exploration.

Now Playing: Steep - Road To The Olympics Gameplay

The PS3 freebies are Zone of the Enders HD Collection, which contains remastered versions of two PS2 mech combat games, and the music/rhythm game Amplitude. PS Vita owners can grab Fallen Legion: Flames of the Rebellion (also playable on PS4) and Super Mutant Alien Assault.

If you're reading this in 2018, it's not too late to pick up your free PS Plus games for December. They include the racing game Onrush and the horror game Soma for PS4; Steredenn and SteinsGate for PS3; and Papers, Please and Iconoclasts for PS Vita.

PS Plus members should note that, starting in March 2019, Sony will no longer give away free PS3 and PS Vita games for PS Plus members. If you subscribe to PS Plus primarily for those free titles, you'll want to turn off your subscription's auto-renewal option or cancel it then.

ok, this is one of the worst months in ps+ history. ps+ is off to a terrible start for 2019. considering i rarely play my "free" games due to my backlog, i think i will not renew this time, at least until another great release hits...

@Xristophoros: PS+ is an absolute racket. You pay 10 bucks a month but never get anything good and by the time you do, you paid several months beforehand to get it. So, essentially, you're paying a monthly subscription to MAYBE get a game that by the time you get it is probably less than 10 dollars at any online retailer. It's always best just to buy your games rather than subscribing.

@srfilk86: 60$ year? for 20+ games, regardless if there usual 1 good game a month, which also a mater of opinion your not gona get that many games for 60$, This only reason I justify PS+ cause I think Paying sub to play games online, is a "racket" those same games consoles pays pay to play online, pc players play for free online. MMO are only exception to this

People have no problem paying sub to play there games online on consoles, when the PC people can play those same games online for free when they go to PC. which is the bigger injustice, but they gonna complain about 60$ year they are already paying to play there games "online" cause the 20+ free games they getting suck?

Over all the years I payed for the sub, just for the games" I gotten more $ 40+ games that I would never bought and liked then the total amount I payed for sub all these years.

@srfilk86: $10 a month? Who pays that? It’s $60 for the year. I could care less about the free games. I buy ps+ to play games online with friends. Idk where you got $10/mo from.

@srfilk86: heh well i wouldn't go that far. for the most part i am happy with ps+. last year we got a ton of great games, not to mention the ps+ discounts on psn to top it all off. i will say, though, that the monthly offerings are wildly inconsistent. some months are true duds while others border on decent to great. on the whole i am happy enough with the service... i don't understand why sony would start off 2019 with one of the worst months in ps+ history, though. i mean, i think we only have 3 months left with ps3/vita support before they pull the plug on ps+ support with those consoles. sony will need to make up for that in some way... either better ps4 games or more ps4 games every month than we currently get.

@Xristophoros:

one can say the same of MS offering sucking, again it matter of opinion, 60$ year for 20+ games reguardless what it is, is a bargin, if you paying for the sub once every month or 3 months or 6 months you ripping your self off, once year buy the 1 year cards when goes on say for 49$ if goes on for sale for less buy bunch of them. before the price went up they were 39$ or less when on sale, one year I bought like 3 of them.

@playstationzone: i tried to get through zoe 1 and i can agree that it is a very poor game. endless repetition and terrible story sums it up. zoe2 is great, though, and possibly the greatest action mech game ever made.

@sergeyg: Agreed. I was going to let it lapse anyway in November, which I did, but this lineup makes me happy I went that way. I refuse to pay for the “privilege” of playing online, and the last few batches of games have been nothing special.

Imo, snowboarding games, to be fun, need to be more arcade than sim. Once you slow down too much it's over.

The 2nd Runner (ZoE 2) got a PS4 remaster recently with lot of things updated and VR added. Only reason to play the PS3 version is for ZoE1 which was really short and sucked and not really necessary in terms of plot.

Didn't know about Fallen Legion, looks interesting but need to research more.
