Later today (29th Dec), Sony will announce via its official blog the free games coming to its PS Plus and PS Now services as the gaming company gears up for the New Year Celebration.
While the announcement is supposed to come later today, one of the PS Now January 2022 free games has been confirmed and all of the PlayStation Plus freebies have been revealed via a leak well before the announcement.
As per recent leaks, PlayStation Plus’s official list of free games will include Persona 5 Strikers, Dirt 5, and Deep Rock Galactic for January 2022 offering. While Sony’s subscription service — PlayStation Now will add Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age to its library.
PS Now is Sony’s answer to Microsoft’s behemoth Xbox Game Pass service. While Sony’s service only includes a handful of games when compared to Xbox Game Pass, Sony has committed that they will be adding more games in 2022 and offer its console exclusive games on PC.
Starting 2022 with Final Fantasy XII, The Zodiac Age, being the last FF title added to the service, following the release of four others earlier in 2021 is good and shows the commitment of Sony towards offering a complete experience for fans. Although Final Fantasy XII is the only confirmed freebie, there will be plenty more that join it which we will find out later today.
It is also confirmed that “The Last of Us Part 2” will be leaving the PS Now service on January 3 alongside Nioh 2. As for the PS Plus subscribers, the upcoming games will be replacing Godfall: Challenger Edition, Lego DC Super-Villains, and Mortal Shell. So you still have a week to enjoy and claim any of the games above before they leave on 4th January.
