For PS Plus Essential subscribers, the free games include Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (PS5), Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered (PS4), and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (PS4/PS5).

Sony has also confirmed that several games will be leaving the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog in February 2025.
