As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must admit that 2024 has been quite the year for PlayStation exclusives and some truly remarkable titles gracing our screens. With Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and AstroBot among them, it’s hard not to be excited about what lies ahead in the new year.

2024 has been a fantastic year for video game enthusiasts, particularly for those within the PlayStation community who have enjoyed exclusive titles like Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and AstroBot. As we bid farewell to 2024, we eagerly anticipate an even more impressive lineup of video game releases in the new year.

Next year looks promising for PlayStation gamers with numerous exciting games on the horizon. Among them is our Game-of-the-Year winner, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which will be available on PS5 following a brief stint as an Xbox console exclusive. At this moment, Ghost of Yotei is tentatively scheduled for release in 2025. The highly anticipated GTA 6 is still expected within the next year, though delays might occur.

2025 promises an exceptional lineup of releases, and we’re equally thrilled and eager to witness Sony setting the tone for PS Plus members at the beginning of the year. The date for revealing January 2025’s games has been slightly postponed. Don’t forget to savor one of the top games from the Extra tier before it departs, as Extra subscribers should ensure they don’t miss out.

In simpler terms, we’re expecting the PS Plus January 2025 Essential games to be announced on January 1st. However, there might be a small wait since the usual practice is to reveal them on the last Wednesday of the preceding month.

According to Sony’s PlayStation Blog for December, the Essential selection is expected to be launched on January 7th. Further details about the Extra and Premium editions are anticipated to be unveiled on January 15th, with their release scheduled for January 21st.

Lastly, “Aliens: Dark Descent” provides a thrilling real-time combat strategy game featuring the marines.
