A fresh leak has revealed what could be one of the strongest PlayStation Plus game line-ups in recent months, with big-name PS5 and PS4 titles expected to land in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog this January.
The information comes from trusted insider Billbil-kun, a source well-known in the UK gaming community for accurately leaking PlayStation Plus additions ahead of official Sony announcements.
While Sony has yet to confirm the list, the leak has already sparked excitement among UK PlayStation players.
What PlayStation Plus games are reportedly coming in January 2026?
According to the leak, six games are set to join the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog, with one major horror title leading the pack.
Leaked PlayStation Plus Game Catalog titles (January 2026)
- Resident Evil Village (PS5 / PS4)
- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5 / PS4)
- Expeditions: A MudRunner Game (PS5 / PS4)
- A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead (PS5 only)
- The Exit 8 (PS5 / PS4)
- Art of Rally (PS5 / PS4)
If accurate, these titles are expected to become playable from 20 January 2026, following Sony’s usual mid-month update schedule for PlayStation Plus games.
Why is Resident Evil Village the standout addition?
The headline addition is Resident Evil Village, Capcom’s critically praised survival horror game released in 2021.
The game is widely regarded as one of the best PS5 horror experiences, combining action, puzzle-solving, and cinematic storytelling.
Its arrival on PlayStation Plus is likely to boost subscriptions, particularly among UK players who skipped the title at launch due to its £59.99 release price.
“Resident Evil Village remains one of the most polished horror titles on current-gen consoles,” noted multiple UK-based gaming reviews at launch.
Interesting timing for UK gamers
Resident Evil Village is also expected to join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on the same date, making January 20 a notable day for cross-platform gamers in the UK.
What does Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth bring to PlayStation Plus?
Another major highlight is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the ninth main entry in Sega’s long-running Yakuza / Like a Dragon series.
Originally released in January 2024, the game introduced a new international setting and deeper RPG mechanics. Its inclusion just two years after launch is seen as generous by PlayStation Plus standards.
For UK players unfamiliar with the series, this could be an easy entry point without the upfront cost.
Are there any PlayStation Plus Classics coming this month?
Yes, and it’s one for long-time PlayStation fans.
Classics Catalog addition (Premium tier only)
Ridge Racer (PS1 version) was a launch title for the original PlayStation in the UK, making its return a nostalgic moment for older gamers. The game joins the PlayStation Plus Premium Classics Catalog, which focuses on PS1, PS2, and PSP titles.
Could there be more PlayStation Plus games added later?
Possibly. Historically, Sony sometimes adds bonus titles or surprise indie games later in the month. The leak is believed to reflect the core line-up, not necessarily the final list.
Sony is expected to officially confirm the January 2026 PlayStation Plus games via:
- The PlayStation Blog
- PlayStation UK social media channels
What PlayStation Plus games are still available from December?
UK subscribers can still access several December carry-over titles, including:
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage
- Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
- Granblue Fantasy: Relink
- Planet Coaster 2
- Lego Horizon Adventures
- Cat Quest III
- Paw Patrol: Grand Prix
- Paw Patrol World
The Classics Catalog also recently added Soulcalibur III (PS2).
