PS Plus January 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most talked‑about updates in the service's history, and it has nothing to do with a discount or a flash sale. For the first time, Sony is drawing a clear line between console generations, and that decision could make January's free games feel either like a fresh start or a turning point for frustrated PS4 owners.
Sony looks set to kick off the new year 'with a bang' as it unveils the first batch of free games for PS Plus in January 2026, and this time the focus is firmly on PS5. The company has confirmed that starting in January, PS4 versions will disappear entirely from the monthly PS Plus Essential line-up, with only PS5 titles being included from now on.
