PlayStation just announced this month’s free games for PS Plus subscribers. Starting January 6, members can grab Need for Speed Unbound, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper until February 2.
Need for Speed Unbound offers a thrilling experience in Lakeshore City, a place reminiscent of Chicago. Players can enjoy both single-player and multiplayer modes. The game focuses on street racing and escaping the cops. As players build their reputation, the police pursuit becomes more intense. It’s all about customization and competing in races to qualify for the ultimate challenge—the Grand.
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a fresh take on the classic. Originally released for the Wii in 2010, this remaster breathes new life into Mickey Mouse’s adventure in the Wasteland, a land of forgotten characters. For the first time, Mickey meets his long-lost brother, Oswald, which adds a personal touch to the story. The remaster boasts enhanced graphics and engaging gameplay.
Core Keeper blends survival and exploration. In this cozy, yet challenging game, players dig through a vast cavern filled with treasures and secrets. They can upgrade their skills, raise animals, grow food, and even cook. The goal is to gather resources and strategize to defeat powerful Titans.
Recent data shows that multiplayer games have surged in popularity, especially during times of isolation. According to a survey by the Entertainment Software Association, 75% of gamers enjoy engaging with friends online, making games like these increasingly relevant.
If you haven’t claimed your free games from December, make sure to do so by January 5. Those games include Lego Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, Synduality Echo of Ada, and Neon White.
