PlayStation Plus: January Lineup Leaked: Star Wars Hit Coming?

Has it happened again? A leak appears again in the run-up to the official announcement, which could already reveal the new titles for PlayStation Plus Essential in the coming year. If the rumor is true, then Sony will start the new year 2023 with a line-up worth seeing including a Star Wars hit.

Subscribers to PlayStation Plus Essential (or the more expensive tiers) can apparently look forward to a respectable line-up of free full versions right at the start of 2023. As usual, Sony will then put together a three-pack of players – and according to a new rumor, this is really something to be proud of.

The topic once again brought the DeaLabs leakers, who are very reliable in this regard, onto the scene and have repeatedly revealed the free games on PS Plus in the past few months before the official announcement by Sony. In this respect, today’s rumor for January 2023 is probably very reliable again.

First and foremost, Sony will probably also ensure that you are well prepared for the upcoming action hit Star Wars Jedi: Survivor from EA. Because: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order should be one of the free offers in January. So here you can embark on the journey of Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis before he continues it in the new sequel in March of the new year.

The other titles should also be well-known, because the Star Wars game is said to be joined by Fallout 76. After a rocky start, the AAA post-apocalyptic adventure has since grown into a long-running hit that has since received a slew of improvements and new content, which you can check out on PlayStation in January at no extra cost.

The triumvirate is rounded off by Axiom Verge 2, a rather underestimated but successful indie title of the end of the year. This is a sequel to the original game originally released in 2015, offering slightly different gameplay than the original Metroidvania formula and focusing specifically on combat. In this respect, friends of challenging 2D titles of the old school also get something to start the new year with.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Axiom Verge 2 are said to be available for both PS4 and PS5, Fallout 76 in the PS4 variant. According to the leakers, the titles should be available from January 3, 2023; the official announcement by Sony is still pending.
