3 PS Plus games you should play this weekend (January 17-19)

We’re at the tail end of a particularly long gap between new PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra game catalog drops. As such, I don’t have new games coming to the service to recommend. Instead, I want to spotlight the games you should check out to prepare for some of the first high-profile releases of the year. New games in the Dynasty Warriors, Sniper Elite, and Monster Hunter series will be launching over the next couple of months, and prior entries in each of those franchises are available as part of Sony’s gaming subscription service. That’s why PS Plus subscribers who are looking forward to these games should use this weekend to play catch-up (if you aren’t already checking out Dynasty Warriors: Origins).

Sniper Elite 5

Sniper Elite: Resistance launches on January 30 and serves as a spinoff of Sniper Elite 5. It follows a Special Operations Executive agent helping the French Resistance fight off the encroaching Nazi threat. While it’s meant to be standalone, some of the narrative context might not make sense unless you’ve played Sniper Elite 5. Thankfully, that game is part of the PS Plus game catalog and it’s a substantially entertaining game in its own right. There are few things more satisfying in gaming than this series’ slow-mo sniper kills. Sniper Elite 5, in particular, excels in making each level feel like a large sandbox with lots of options for completing objectives.

The PS4 and PS5 versions of Sniper Elite 5 are available to PS Plus Extra subscribers. It’s also on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S as part of the Game Pass catalog.
