Summary
- PlayStation Plus offers free games monthly for subscribers.
- Rarely, the free PS Plus games can vary by region.
- Hong Kong PS Plus subscribers received DEEEER Simulator instead of The Stanley Parable in January 2025.
PlayStation Plus subscribers in Hong Kong apparently have DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game as one of their free games for January 2025 in place of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. PlayStation Plus Essential is the lowest tier of PS Plus, but with it, subscribers can play online and snag new free games every month.
Most of the time, the free PS Plus games consist of three games for subscribers to add to their digital libraries. The free PS Plus games are comprised of PS4 and PS5 releases, and can represent nearly any type of game. Sometimes big budget games are given away for free through PS Plus, but other times, smaller indie titles are part of the package. Sometimes older games are free on PS Plus, and other times still, subscribers are treated to brand-new, day one releases.

Typically, the free PlayStation Plus games are universal, but there are times when the giveaways vary by region. This is the case with the free PS Plus games for January 2025, as it turns out. As pointed out by Comic Book, the free PS Plus games for January 2025 differ for those living in Hong Kong. Hong Kong PS Plus subscribers get Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered like everyone else, but instead of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, they have DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game as one of their free games. No official reason for this discrepancy has been given at the time of this writing.
Free PS Plus Games for January 2025
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
- Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
- DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game (Hong Kong only)
For those unfamiliar with the games, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is a first-person narrative-driven puzzle game of sorts, known for its unique storytelling and sharp sense of humor. The game earned critical acclaim at the time of its release, with the Ultra Deluxe version giving fans even more content to sink their teeth into. DEEEER Simulator, meanwhile, is a whacky game in the vein of Goat Simulator where players wreak havoc as a deer. It earned mixed to negative reviews from critics, but user scores have been higher, earning the game “Very Positive” reviews on Steam.
It’s possible future free PlayStation Plus games will differ by region, and so subscribers should keep that in mind. As far as the free PS Plus games for February 2025 go, fans should find out more on Wednesday, January 29. Unless Sony breaks from its well-established pattern, that’s the day when the free PS Plus games for February 2025 will be officially revealed.
