PS Plus Essential games for January 2023 include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Fallout 76. Here’s the full PS Plus January lineup and when PS4 and PS5 games go live.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Bethesda Softworks’ Fallout 76 headline games PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers get access to beginning Jan. 2, Sony announced on Wednesday. They’re joined by Axiom Verge 2, the side-scrolling indie Metroidvania that launched in 2021.
Fallen Order needs little introduction; it’s a Star Wars adventure set in the aftermath of the Empire’s hunt for, and elimination of, the Jedi Knights. Although loaded with action and lightsaber combat, the game’s deep exploration and platforming puzzles will appeal to players looking for more cerebral challenges.
Fallout 76 is an interesting selection, as Bethesda Softworks is an Xbox studio, although Microsoft acquired it about two years after Fallout 76 launched in 2018.
