PlayStation has announced the first additions to PS Plus for 2023. From January 3, it will offer three new games for all PS Plus subscribers. These include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Axiom Verge 2 and Fallout 76. As usual, it plans to announce the Extra and Premium exclusive titles later this month.
Jedi: Fallen Order is a good addition, both for the game itself and for strategic reasons. It’s a great game and a must-play for all Star Wars fans. It will also get a sequel in 2023. Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to Fallen Order, will launch on March 17. Players who haven’t caught up with the series are more likely to grab the first title while it’s free for PS Plus users.
Axiom Verge 2 is the sequel to an indie Metroidvania classic, following a new story and characters. Originally launched in 2020, it was released on PS5 earlier this year. The main character explores underground environments and ruins, as well as parallel realities, all depicted in the series’ signature pixel art.
Each PS Plus addition usually has a multiplayer title. In January it’s Fallout 76, an MMO addition to the Fallout series. The player characters are the original wave of Vault Dwellers, released to reclaim the US after nuclear destruction. The game became free-to-play earlier in 2022 and Prime Gaming offered it to subscribers as well.
