Sony has revealed the lineup for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers in January 2026, featuring Resident Evil Village and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth among eight new additions. The games will be available starting January 20. Premium subscribers also gain access to the classic Ridge Racer.

On January 14, 2026, Sony announced the latest games joining the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscription services for the month. The lineup, available from January 20, highlights Resident Evil Village for PS5 and PS4, a survival horror title from Capcom that serves as a precursor to the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, set for release on February 27. As noted in coverage, completing Village is not essential for Requiem but offers a timely option for fans. The game features the fan-favorite character Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, the vampire giantess.

Joining it is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the 2024 entry in the Yakuza series, marking the first to venture outside Japan as a turn-based RPG. Other additions for Extra and Premium include Expeditions: A MudRunner Game for PS5 and PS4, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead for PS5, Darkest Dungeon II for PS5 and PS4, The Exit 8 for PS5 and PS4, Art of Rally for PS5 and PS4, and A Little to the Left for PS5 and PS4.

Premium members exclusively receive Ridge Racer for PS5 and PS4. Earlier leaks from Dealabs on the same day had accurately predicted most of the titles, including Resident Evil Village, which also arrives on Xbox Game Pass on January 20. Reviews praise Village as a 'fantastic horror romp' for its first half, while Infinite Wealth earns acclaim for blending 'violent stakes' with 'zany shenanigans,' scoring four out of five stars.

Smaller titles like Darkest Dungeon II, described as a crisis-management RPG with roguelike elements, and Art of Rally, a minimalist top-down racer, receive positive mentions. A Little to the Left, a 2022 cozy puzzle game involving household organization, appeals for its relaxing gameplay, especially in co-op. The Exit 8 stands out as a walking simulator set in endless Japanese underground passageways, requiring careful observation to escape.

This batch builds on earlier January additions like Need for Speed Unbound and Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, enhancing the subscription's value amid ongoing commitments to maximize services.

What people are saying
