PlayStation Plus free games change at the start of every month, and coming in at no extra cost to PS Plus members, these free games are a great way to expand your library on the cheap or pick up and try games that you might not have thought about initially.
More often than not, you'll have three games to try out with each month's drop - which covers both PS5 and PS4 (so you're still set if you haven't jumped into the latest generation yet) - though sometimes we see some curveballs in the form of one or two fewer or more games.
If you are a subscriber and don't make the most of the free games on offer from month to month, it's worth making it a habit to start claiming them when you can, since they'll always be available to you as long as your subscription is live. Since the best PS5 games can set you back a pretty penny, this is a great way to make the most of your console without having to fork out for new releases every month.
The line-up for January 2026 is still available until February 2nd, and February's own collection (available from the 3rd) features a boxing banaza, death-defying aerial combat, and a deep-sea adventure. Read on for the full lineup.

Are there free games on PS Plus?
Yes! As we've stated here on our dedicated PlayStation Plus free games page, each month a handful of games are available to PS Plus members and, as long as your subscription is live and active, then they are yours to keep and play!
Can I play free PS Plus games without a subscription?
Sadly, no, PlayStation Plus free games are only available to run and play for those with an active subscription. That means that if you acquired some games one month when your sub was active, but then let it lapse, those games would become unavailable.
