This article discusses the PlayStation Plus subscription service and highlights some of its best games, particularly those leaving the service in January 2025. The service is tiered, offering varying levels of access to games and features.

PlayStation Plus Tiers:

• Essential: The base tier, equivalent to the old PS Plus, offering online multiplayer, monthly free games, and discounts. Costs $9.99/month.
• Extra: Includes Essential benefits plus access to a large catalog of PS4 and PS5 games. Costs $14.99/month.
• Premium: Includes Essential and Extra benefits, plus a library of classic PlayStation games (PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3), game trials, and cloud streaming (region-dependent). Costs $17.99/month.

Notable Games Leaving PS Plus Extra & Premium in January 2025:

Several significant titles are being removed from the Extra and Premium tiers on January 21st, 2025. The most noteworthy are:

• Resident Evil 2 (Remake): A critically acclaimed remake of the classic survival horror game. While offering two campaigns, completing both within the remaining time might be challenging.

• Dragon Ball FighterZ: A highly-rated fighting game known for its accessible yet deep combat system. While the single-player content might be completed within a couple of weeks, its repetitive nature makes it less compelling for short-term play.
