The PS Plus free games for January 2023, which include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Fallout 76, and Axiom Verge 2, are available to download now. Sony confirmed these titles last week, shortly after the PS Plus games leaked online, and now fans can get hands-on with them.

It should be noted that this is, obviously, far from the last PS Plus announcement for the month. Barring any potential surprises, Sony will likely announce the PS Plus Extra and Premium games sometime in the next couple of weeks. It's not certain what to expect from those tiers in the new year, but if the PS Plus free games for January 2023 are any indication, it seems like PS Plus subscribers will have a great month.

Fallout 76 is only available in its native PS4 version, but the other two games have both PS5 and PS4 versions available to download. The headlining game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, hardly needs any introduction since it belongs to one of the most popular IPs in popular culture, but it's a good time to pick it up for the first time or revisit it. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's release date is only a couple of months away, and fans have a lot to learn over the coming months.

PS Plus Free/Essential Games for January 2023

  • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (PS5/PS4)
  • Axiom Verge 2 (PS5/PS4)
  • Fallout 76 (PS4)

Meanwhile, Fallout 76 is yet another title that fans will recognize immediately. Although it's part of the popular Fallout franchise, its MMO-style approach drove away many fans at launch. It has since bounced back by a ton, and if someone hasn't yet decided to give it a chance before, now may be the best time. If nothing else, playing Fallout 76 for free ahead of Bethesda's new upcoming game, Starfield, will show just how much BGS has grown in the past couple of years.

The final game, Axiom Verge 2, may not be as recognizable as its counterparts but is a solid game with a 'Strong' OpenCritic Rating. Its Top Critic Average is 78, while 76% of critics recommend the title. Axiom Verge 2 is a Metroidvania game where players take on the role of billionaire Indra Chaudhari, who must go to Antarctica to find her missing daughter.

PS Plus subscribers get a handful of games every month.
