While 2025 has just begun, we already know about some of the biggest games coming to the PlayStation 5 this year. Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and Grand Theft Auto VI, in particular, stand out as potential defining PS5 releases for 2025 right now. Luckily for those of us who subscribed to PlayStation Plus Extra, the predecessors to all three of those games are available to play as part of the Sony game subscription service’s catalog. As such, those games make up my list of recommendations for new PS Plus Extra games to play to kick off the new year.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut

Sucker Punch Productions will release Ghost of Yotei later this year, giving us yet another open-world action-adventure game set in Japan. While it isn’t a direct sequel, I still think it’s a good idea to check out Ghost of Tsushima before playing Ghost of Yotei. Sucker Punch Productions’ last game instantly cemented Ghost as a new hallmark series for Sony; the enhanced Director’s Cut version of the game is still one of the best-looking titles that you can play on PS5. And while I’m not quite as fond of the story and gameplay compared to other games, if you enjoy games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage or Red Dead Redemption 2, then Ghost of Tsushima’s realistic open world will really immerse you. After playing Ghost of Tsushima, you’ll have a better understanding of the foundation that Ghost of Yotei will be building on and will more clearly see how it evolves and improves upon that formula.

The PS4 and PS5 versions of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut are available to PS Plus Extra subscribers. It’s also on PC.
