The PlayStation Plus 2020 lineup has been very hit or miss. Some months offered up heavy hitters, such as Bioshock The Collection and Bugsnax. Other months felt very “bargain bin” with their inclusions. Thankfully Sony appears to be heading in the right direction for 2021. Today saw the official reveal of January’s PlayStation Plus lineup, via the PlayStation Blog.
Below are the games coming to PlayStation Plus in January:
Maneater – PS5
“Experience the ultimate power fantasy as the apex predator of the seas – a terrifying shark! Maneater is a single-player, open-world action RPG (ShaRkPG) where you are the shark. Starting as a small shark pup you are tasked with surviving the harsh world while eating your way up the ecosystem. To do this you will explore a large and varied open world encountering diverse enemies – both human and wildlife. Find the right resources and you can grow and evolve far beyond what nature intended, allowing the player to tailor the shark to their play style. Eat. Explore. Evolve.”
Shadow of the Tomb Raider – PS4
“Fight, explore, craft, and survive amid the dense and perilous jungles of South America in Lara Croft’s biggest adventure to date as you race to save the world from a Maya apocalypse. Gather resources and master the unforgiving terrain. Outgunned and outnumbered, you need to use your surroundings to your advantage; strike from the shadows and use mud to camouflage your presence. Use advanced traversal techniques to reach long-forgotten tombs and negotiate deadly puzzles.”
Greedfall – PS4
“In this stunning action RPG, explore uncharted new lands as you set foot on a remote island seeping with magic, and filled with riches, lost secrets, and fantastic creatures. You’ll have complete freedom to shape your abilities, spells, and skills and decide whether to complete objectives with combat, diplomacy, deception, or stealth. Forge this new world’s destiny, as you befriend or betray companions and entire factions.”
January’s PlayStation Plus lineup looks to be strong, includes two PS4 titles, as well as one for PS5. Will Sony maintain this trend throughout 2021? Time will tell. Make sure to follow the PlayStation Blog for more PlayStation related updates.
