Step into the dangerous world of corrupted superheroes, engage in thrilling high-speed chases, and experience the whimsical life of a deer all starting January 7. This month, PlayStation Plus members are in for a treat with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, and DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game.
First up, let’s delve into the details of these exciting titles.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on PS5
Embark on a mission to defeat The Justice League, either solo or with friends in multiplayer co-op mode. Courtesy of Rocksteady Studios, the mastermind behind the beloved Batman: Arkham series, this game presents a thrilling third-person shooter experience that melds action-adventure elements seamlessly. You’ll navigate through Metropolis, a sprawling open-world city, as the Suicide Squad, who must confront both a formidable alien invasion and the very heroes who once committed to defend their homeland. Don’t forget, there’s always that ever-present threat of explosive devices implanted in the squad members’ heads. With distinct skill sets and traversal abilities unique to each character, players can explore Metropolis freely, employing an array of customizable weapons.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered on PS4
Immerse yourself in the exhilarating world of high-speed pursuit with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Whether you choose to outrun the law or enforce it, this game delivers an adrenaline-pumping experience using some of the world’s most desirable cars. With the groundbreaking Autolog feature, expect fierce competition as you take on your friends in cross-platform multiplayer. Enhanced graphics and the inclusion of all DLC content make this a definitive edition of Criterion Games’ classic racing saga.
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game on PS4
Embrace your inner deer in the quirky world of DEEEER Simulator. Run wild in the city using a stretchy neck and pointy antlers to create chaos or enjoy more light-hearted escapades with fellow animals. This "slow-life town destruction game" isn’t all fun though—cause enough trouble, and you’ll find yourself facing off against a bizarre array of animal cops. Battle kung fu sheep, bear police cars, and dangerously rabbit-eared law enforcers as you uncover the city’s hidden secrets.
All these gaming experiences will be available for PlayStation Plus members from January 7 to February 3. Don’t miss out on adding them to your collection!
Before you forget, make sure you add December’s games to your library too. You have until January 6 to grab It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem.
