Hold on, January 2023? It's here already?! Yep, we know it's hard to believe, but a whole new year is here — and that means we've got another 12 months of PS Plus offerings to look forward to (and perhaps moan about incessantly). We can see January's selection being somewhat divisive. It's spearheaded by the well-liked Star Wars...

Poll Have You Completed Elden Ring?
Never give up
There's no doubt that Elden Ring was one of 2022's biggest deals.
