Sony has announced the slate of monthly games joining PlayStation Plus in January. Rocksteady's looter shooter Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League leads the free titles coming to PS Plus this month. The game puts players into the shoes of the titular squad of misfits tasked with taking out rogue DC superheroes.
