Sony has announced the first three titles for the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup in January 2026, available to subscribers starting January 6. The games include Need for Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper. Subscribers will retain access to these titles as long as their subscription remains active.
Sony revealed the initial batch of PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for 2026 on December 31, 2025, just as the year draws to a close. The three games become available for download on January 6, 2026, providing subscribers with a mix of racing, platforming, and survival experiences.
Need for Speed Unbound, released in late 2022, marks the franchise's return after several years. This PS5-exclusive title features cel-shaded graphics for a distinctive visual style, alongside a variety of vehicles for street racing challenges, weekly qualifiers, and police pursuits. The narrative includes a prominent role for rapper A$AP Rocky.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remake of the 2010 Wii original, updated without motion controls for a modern platformer experience. It offers fan service for Disney enthusiasts and involves Warren Spector, known for designing Deus Ex, in its development. The game supports both PS4 and PS5.
Core Keeper, an indie title that exited early access, focuses on mining, crafting, base-building, and exploration in a multiplayer setting for up to eight players, though it remains playable solo.
Access to December 2025's Monthly Games ends on January 5, 2026. Those titles—Lego Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, Synduality: Echo of Ada, and Neon White—must be downloaded by then to avoid losing availability. This rotation ensures a fresh selection each month for PlayStation Plus users worldwide.
