Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Maneater, and more are January’s free PS Plus games

By Giovanni Colantonio December 30, 2020

Sony has revealed its next batch of free games for PS Plus subscribers. The January’s freebies include Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Greedfall, as well as Maneater for PlayStation 5 users.

Both PS4 and PS5 owners will be able to add Shadow of the Tomb Raider to their library starting Tuesday, January 5. The action-adventure game is the third installment of the recent Tomb Raider series reboot. It features excellent bow combat, robust exploration, and tons of puzzles for Lara Croft to solve.

PS5 owners get an exclusive extra in the form of Maneater. In this underwater shark RPG, players control a shark who’s fighting for dominance. It essentially lets players experience Jaws from the shark’s perspective. Maneater released earlier this year and is one of this year’s quirkiest hidden gems.

All PlayStation owners can grab Greedfall in January. Not to be confused with PS5 launch title Godfall, Greedfall is a an action-RPG about settlers who land on a monster-infested island.

All three titles will be available starting on Tuesday, January 5. Subscribers can add them to their library for free until Monday, February 1. Players can still pick up December’s batch of games, including Just Cause 4, until the January selections go live.

This isn’t the first time Sony has given an extra game to PS5 owners. The company previously offered PS5 launch title Bugsnax free to PS Plus subscribers at launch. December’s PS Plus lineup was available for players across both consoles, so it’s not clear if this will be the norm going forward or an added bonus every couple of months.

PS Plus’ 2022 revamp could use a revamp of its own in 2023

Playstation 5 system and DualSense controller.

In 2022, the way we access video games radically changed. Xbox Game Pass became accessible on TVs without a console, Logitech took a stab at cloud-focused hardware, and the Steam Deck made PC games accessible from anywhere. Services were instrumental to some of those changes, as companies looked to hook players with a monthly subscription rather than pushing them to buy individual games. When Sony announced it was revamping its PS Plus service earlier this year, it felt like a big piece of that industrywide transformation was about to fall into place.

That’s not exactly what happened. Rather than emerging as Sony’s answer to Game Pass, the new PS Plus landed with a thud when it launched earlier this summer. Its selection of launch games underwhelmed potential subscribers and Sony struggled to build momentum with subsequent additions. In fact, the service lost 2 million subscribers post-revamp. It’s a bit puzzling considering that PS Plus functionally costs as much as Game Pass annually and has a larger library overall. So why is there such a chasm in public perception between the two?

PS Plus games: what’s new in December 2022

The PlayStation 5's game library is full of fantastic titles for all gamers. It's home to several critically acclaimed exclusives like God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and Stray, among others — there are almost too many great games to keep track of (or afford to purchase). Thankfully, Sony has PS Plus, a game subscription service similar to Xbox Game Pass that allows members to download and play a growing library of PlayStation games for a small monthly fee.

New games are being added to the service every month, including recent hits, classics from years ago, and brand-new indie games. Check out the list below to see what games have been added to PS Plus recently. We'll update this list every month as new titles are being added or removed from the library.

Amazon Games will publish the next Tomb Raider title

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Amazon Games today announced that it will publish the next Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics.

Crystal Dynamics first teased this new Tomb Raider title during an Unreal Engine 5 showcase in March. Shortly thereafter, Square Enix sold Crystal Dynamics -- as well as its sister studios Eidos Montreal and Square Enix Montreal -- to Embracer Group for $300 million. This obviously left the new Tomb Raider without a publisher, and rather than self-publishin,g Crystal Dynamics has decided to partner with Amazon Games.
