Sony has officially announced the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for January 2026, offering subscribers a diverse mix of high-octane racing, nostalgic Disney storytelling and deep underground exploration. The new titles will be available to download from Tuesday, January 6, until Monday, February 2.

Need for Speed Unbound brings high-octane street racing

Leading the line-up is Need for Speed Unbound for PS5, the latest entry in EA’s long-running racing franchise. Developed by Criterion Games, the title blends realistic racing with a striking visual style and a pulsating global soundtrack.

Players begin at the bottom of Lakeshore’s underground racing scene, working their way up through intense street races, police chases and weekly qualifiers. With separate single-player and multiplayer modes, the game offers deep car customisation, stylised visuals and a strong focus on personal expression behind the wheel.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed returns with a magical makeover

Also joining the service is Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed for both PS4 and PS5. The reimagined adventure invites players to step into the shoes of Mickey Mouse as he explores Wasteland, a forgotten world filled with classic Disney characters and lost memories.

Using a magical paintbrush, players can restore or reshape the environment, with each decision influencing the world around them. The game blends platforming, exploration and creativity, while reintroducing iconic characters such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in a visually refreshed experience.
