New year, new PlayStation Plus games. Sony is kicking off 2022 with a pretty stellar selection of software across PS5 and PS4, and the trio of titles are rolling out right now. The new PS Plus lineup is live now in Europe, and will be arriving in other major regions very shortly.
As a reminder, this month we're getting Deep Rock Galactic on both PS5 and PS4, a new release on the platforms that emphasises co-op play. Both consoles also get the super enjoyable arcade racer DIRT 5 β well worth a look if you're weary of all those hardcore sim racing games. Finally, Persona 5 Strikers rounds out the selection, playable on PS4 and PS5 via backwards compatibility.
It's a varied and high-quality gaggle of games, but which one will you be checking out first? Will you be heading down to the mines, sliding through the mud, or slicing and dicing hundreds of baddies? Tell us in the comments section below.

Store still shows last month's games so no rush
Looks like a great month to me! Canβt wait to try them all out.
@Integrity I think the PlayStation app is also a bit confused.
The banner shows Persona 5 Strikers which you can click on and claim but the monthly games below are still showing the old games, but they are no longer free and instead fully priced.
So yeah, I guess they gotta update something. Hopefully wonβt be long.
Well this month has finally made me renew my plus after nearly a year away. New ps5 owner so i wont turn down Dirt 5 and persona strikers ππ
@Mince no, went to the PSPlus page. No problem, it'll be there soon enough π
The times do seem to vary ... I was able to add Deep Rock Galactic to the library at around 2am (UK) this morning.
@GZoo If it's a new release coming straight to PS Plus, it's usually available at midnight.
@Integrity yeah in Australia its still Dec. Fake news
@djape ππ which year? 1984? π
@Integrity All available via search on the PS App or store but not on the PS+ page yet. I like the app, it's fast and takes less than a minute to add them to the library. It also doesn't download them (though that is one click away if wanted) as PS5 space is more precious than Gollum's ring
really good month.
@themightyant urgh, I don't want to know about Gollum's ring. Gross! ππ
@Integrity Thought that might tickle you π
Still shows December titles for me?
Dirt 5 all the way! Can't wait!
Nice video presenting the games.
Being in the US I don't even bother to check until afternoon b/c during the PS3 days the updates usually came around midnight.
Dang it, itβs still showing the December games :/
@rjejr Same thing up here in Canada. I used to run to the TV excitedly shouting "Push Square said the new games are available!", and then the sad reality would set in as I saw the stale games from last month staring back at me. Too many tears shed.
@hobbes242 And then you get the double whammy of any sale prices being your crazy Canadian prices. And of course the old "available in NA" really meaning US b/c Canada somehow isn't part of NA.π
It's 7:56 Tehran time here. Have not yet been able to download dirt 5. On my PS5, the 'Explore' tile shows the new games whereas the 'PlayStation Plus' tile shows the old games. Any idea when I can expect to receive the new ones?
I still need to beat Persona 5 Royal first, but went ahead and claimed Persona 5 Strikers now just to be safe.
@rjejr And we're just too damn polite to speak up about it.
@hobbes242 LOL. I say less polite, more wall building, make the country motto "North of North America". NoNA. π
It will be good to see Joker and the gang again.
@themightyant As long as you're not tickling Gollum's ring. Gimli is a much more suitable bachelor.
Gave Dirt 5 a chance but even on PS5 I was bored after an hour.
Graphics are nice but it's all a bit meh and the vibration on the dualsense is piss poor - sounds like someone has put a buzzer in the controller. Triggers not so bad though.
I like racing games but this disappointed as much as any other numbered dirt game has. Will stick to NFS hot pursuit, GT Sport and Dirt Rally 2.0
Oh, and don't get me started on the truly embarrassing 'bro banter' in the voiceovers. Haven't we left this cringeworthy stuff behind yet?!
Perfect Plus game though tbh, cash saved and curiosity satisfied.
@rjejr Hmm... NoNA. Has a nice ring to it. Of course, you have to roll your eyes when you say it.
"I'm a big Ryan Reynolds fan."
"Yeah, but... you know he's from NoNA." <eye roll>
@hobbes242 Well how else would you say it? π
Wow Reynolds and Shatner? NoNA rocks!!
