The confetti has barely settled from New Year's celebrations, but Sony isn't wasting any time. The official PlayStation Plus monthly games for January 2026 have been unveiled, offering a powerful trio of titles to fuel your gaming year from day one. Starting Tuesday, January 6, all PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Deluxe members can add these games to their library.
This announcement confirms an earlier leak that had fans buzzing. The rumor mill was right on the money this time, and the full, official details are now live on the PlayStation Blog.
Need for Speed Unbound: Street Racing Glamour Returns
Leading the pack is Need for Speed Unbound, the stylish, cel-shaded entry from 2022 that reinvigorated the legendary racing franchise. While it previously raced into the PS Plus Game Catalog for higher-tier members, its inclusion in the Essential lineup means every subscriber can now own it permanently. Dive into its vibrant take on Chicago, where high-stakes racing meets a unique visual flair. If you missed it before, now’s your chance to claim this high-octane title for good.
Core Keeper: A Co-Op Mining Adventure Awaits
Next up is the breakout indie hit, Core Keeper. This charming mining sandbox adventure is a perfect pick for players craving discovery and cooperation. Dig deep into a vast, mysterious underground world alone or with a crew of up to eight friends online. You’ll unearth resources, craft gear, build your base, and face off against strange creatures, all while unraveling the ancient secrets buried in the darkness. It’s a fantastic addition for those who love the blend of exploration, survival, and teamwork.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed – A Nostalgic Platformer Reimagined
Rounding out the month is a heartfelt dose of Disney magic with Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. This isn't just a simple re-release; it's a full ground-up remake of the cult classic Wii title. Rebuilt as a vibrant 3D platformer, it lets players wield paint and thinner to dynamically change the world, solve puzzles, and interact with a cast of forgotten Disney characters. With Oswald the Lucky Rabbit taking center stage, this is a must-play for Disney enthusiasts and platforming fans looking for a creative, nostalgic journey.
