Sony announced its January line of games that are free for PS Plus subscribers to download.
Starting on January 5, you will be able to get the PS5-only version of Maneater, the game of eating that PolygonChris Plante is described in his fun review as “the best shark game … ever?”, As well as two other PS4 games Fall of greed and Shadow of the Tomb Raider – both are playable on PS5. Unfortunately, the PS4 version of Maneater is not available to people who have not yet migrated to PS5, so PS4 owners win only two games this month. This package will no longer be available as of February 1, 2021.
It seems that Sony has established a formula for its monthly batch of free games, with one PS5 game serving as a highlight and two PS4 games to complete it (and continue to distribute some small gifts to people who do not yet have a PS5). Speaking of PS5 games, go ahead and download Bugsnax for free while you can. It will no longer be available as a privilege to PS Plus subscribers after January 4.
We don’t normally know what’s in each monthly game collection, but Sony has already shared that their AllStars Destruction, the vehicular combat game that delayed the console’s release date, will be the February gift for the PS5.
