A new pre-announcement leak has surfaced, revealing what could be the upcoming PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium lineup for January 2026. If accurate, Sony is preparing a strong month for subscribers, with several high-profile titles reportedly joining the service later this month.
The information suggests the official reveal will take place on Wednesday, January 14, with the games becoming available on Tuesday, January 20. While Sony has not yet confirmed anything, the source behind the leak has a long-standing reputation for accurately reporting PlayStation Plus updates ahead of schedule.
PS Plus Essential Games Already Available
Before the potential Extra and Premium additions arrive, all PlayStation Plus members already received three confirmed titles earlier this month:
- Core Keeper
- Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
- Need for Speed Unbound
These games are claimable by any subscriber, regardless of tier, and remain part of January’s confirmed lineup.
Leaked PS Plus Extra Lineup
The rumored Extra-tier additions bring together a mix of blockbuster releases, atmospheric indie titles, and unique driving experiences:
- Resident Evil Village
- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
- Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
- A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead
- The Exit 8
- Art of Rally
All titles are listed for both PS5 and PS4, except for A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, which is reportedly exclusive to PS5.
PS Plus Premium Classic Addition
For Premium subscribers, the leak points to a classic PlayStation title joining the catalogue:
- Ridge Racer (PlayStation One version)
If confirmed, this would place the original Ridge Racer alongside existing classics such as Ridge Racer Type 4 and Ridge Racer 2. Early details suggest this is strictly the PS One release, meaning content from newer Arcade Archives editions would not be included.
Why This Lineup Matters
Resident Evil Village stands out as the headline addition. Its arrival on PlayStation Plus could be perfectly timed, giving players the opportunity to experience the game ahead of the release of Resident Evil Requiem later in February.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is another major highlight. If added, it would mark the first time a mainline entry in the series becomes fully available through a subscription service, following only a limited Premium trial in the past.
The rest of the lineup shows a clear effort to provide variety. From rally racing and mud-running to arcade-style driving and psychological horror, January could shape up to be one of the most balanced months for Extra and Premium subscribers in recent memory.
Final Thoughts
Nothing is official until Sony makes its announcement, but this leak paints a very strong picture for PlayStation Plus in January 2026. If even most of these titles make the final cut, Extra and Premium members will be getting access to one of the most impressive monthly updates in quite some time.
All eyes now turn to the mid-month reveal to see how much of this lineup becomes reality.
