PlayStation Plus has announced the new line of free games for the first month of 2021, and the bunch of titles offered on Sony’s membership service in January looks tough so far.
The first game to be added to the free games is PlayStation Plus Maneater for the PlayStation 5. On the PlayStation 4, players will be able to apply Shadow of the Tomb Raider and GreedFall. All of these games will be available on January 5, and will be available until February 1, 2021.
PlayStation Plus will have three new games to claim for January 2021
Maneater this is the first game that PlayStation Plus users can claim for the month, but it is only the PlayStation 5 version. Nonetheless, the game is an open world RPG where players play take control of a shark, which PlayStation Plus refers to as SkaRkPG. The game starts with shark pups (a fun fact: that’s called sharks), and players have to survive out of the waters in order to grow and work up the ecosystem.
Eating bigger targets and evolving is basically the main focus of an RPG shark game. If anyone has figured out what it’s like to attack a prey and explore the ocean like a ferocious shark, Maneater is the game for them.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider the second game is available on PlayStation Plus, and is one of the games available for PlayStation 4 users. This installment is the third and final game in the latest version of Lara Croft’s story. Tomb Raider was re-launched back in 2013 and was a third-person action game – there was even a film version made by Academy Award-winning Alicia Vikander star.
Each installment has survival elements, combat skills, and plenty of exploration that includes tracking and puzzles. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the end of the arc trilogy for Lara Croft and takes place in South America where a potential Maya apocalypse is taking place.
The third and final game is PlayStation Plus for January 2021 GreedFall. It is another open world RPG game that is relatively large for players to explore. GreedFall is set in a 17th Century style fantasy world where players have a whole group to develop their characters as the game progresses.
Developed by Spiders (the studio, no … you know … real spiders), GreedFall was first released in September of 2019, so it’s a great game it is recent. There are also plans to release Greedfall on next-gen consoles, but there are no specific dates.
PlayStation Plus users should apply the games soon, as they are free and will be gone in a month.
