Developed by Criterion Games, players compete in street races in an open-world environment in the fictional Lakeshore City, based on Chicago.

Finally, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s the 2020 Core Keeper, developed by Pugstorm and published by Fireshine Games. In this top-down survival sandbox game, players must craft, mine, farm, and perform combat in a procedurally generated underground world.

All three titles in the PlayStation Plus Free Games January 2026 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.

Among them, obtaining the platinum for Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is by far the easiest. The game itself is not too difficult, and only requires around 10-12 hours of gameplay.

The second easiest platinum in this line-up would be for Core Keeper. The game itself is below average in terms of difficulty. However, there is a lot of grinding involved, so be prepared to spend around 70-80 hours of gameplay for this platinum.

Lastly, unlocking the platinum for Need for Speed Unbounded is of average difficulty, though this depends on your racing skills and experience with the NFS series. There are some online trophies however, the most challenging being to play three races in a full lobby of eight players, which might require some boosting.

Christmas is a month away, and looks like Sony put PlayStation Plus members on the “nice” list, because they will be giving out five freebies this round. Here is the PlayStation Plus free games December 2025 line up, which will be available for download on Tuesday, December 2.

First, for the PS5, there’s LEGO Horizon Adventures a LEGO-version spit-off the the Horizon series. The game retells the story of Horizon Zero Dawn, but with a typical LEGO family-friendly narrative, and include many of the original voice actors from the Horizon series.

Featuring both solo and cooperative multiplayer with up to six players, waves of bioengineered monsters known as Zeds must be destroyed in a series of rounds.

For both the PS4 and PS5, there’s The Outlast Trials, a first-person psychological survival horror, which serves as a prequel to the 2013 Outlast. Select either single-player or up to four-player cooperative mode, players must evade enemies and traps while completing several different objectives.

Finally, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Neon White, a first-person shooter with puzzle and platforming elements, developed by Angel Matrix and published by Annapurna Interactive.

Next, The Outlast Trials is about average in terms of difficulty, and will need a trophy guide to figure out the requirements for each trophy. The platinum can be unlocked after about 25-30 hours of gameplay.

Obtaining the platinum for Killing Floor 3 is not an easy task, and will depend highly on your skills, as well as the skills of your teammates, and some luck. Expect around 40-50 hours of gameplay for this platinum.

Perhaps the most difficult platinum in this list is for Neon White, particularly because the requirement for one trophy is to complete 97 levels on a single life. This means, reloading whenever you die. Expect around 45-55 hours of gameplay, depending on your skills.

Lastly, there does not seem to be much information regarding the difficulty, or time required, for unlocking the platinum for Synduality: Echo of Ada. However, it is been confirmed that there are online trophies, and requires a lot of farming.

Editorial Team

Happy Halloween! And to celebrate the festivities, Sony has just announced their next batch of freebies for PlayStation Plus members, which in fact have very little to do with ghosts and goblins. But hey, free games are free games, right? And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games November 2025 line up which will be available for download on Tuesday, November 4.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Stray, the 2022 adventure game developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive.

In Campaign mode, players must use a limited amount of in-game money to create an army to crush the enemy force.

All three games in the PlayStation Plus free games November 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.

Among them, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is arguably the easiest platinum to obtain, and only requires around 8 hours of gameplay. Also, both the PS4 and PS5 have their own set of trophies, which means obtaining two separate platinum trophies. No auto-pop, however.

Next, unlocking the platinum for Stray is also below average in difficulty. The only trophy that seems to give some players trouble is the Can’t Cat-ch Me trophy, which requires both skill and luck. Overall however, getting the platinum should only take around 10-12 hours.

Editorial Team

Another month, means another batch of freebies from Sony for PS Plus members. Once again, trophy hunters can rejoice, as we will have another nice selection of easy platinums to unlock. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games October 2025 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, October 7.

First, for the PS5, there’s Alan Wake 2, developed by Remedy Entertainment. Rather than an action adventure like it’s 2010 predecessor Alan Wake, the sequel Alan Wake 2 is a survival horror in which players play as both Alan who is found washed up on a shore after being trapped in an alternate dimension, and FBI agent Saga Anderson who finds him.

Next, also for the PS5, is Goat Simulator 3, a sequel to the non-too-serious title developed by Coffee Stain North. While still controlling the havoc-wreaking goat in third-person action, players can now customize their goat, and explore different gameplay styles including a story mode with quests, and a first-person shooter. The game also features a four-player coopeerative online multiplayer mode.

Lastly, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Cocoon, a puzzle adventure developed by Geometric Interactive. Players control a beetle which travels to different worlds and solving puzzles in a 3D environment, order to unlock the mysteries of the universe.

All three titles in the PlayStation Plus free games October 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.

Among them, Cocoon is both the easiest and quickest platinum to obtain. If choosing to follow an online guide to quickly solve the puzzles, the platinum can be unlocked in under 5 hours.

Next, Goat Simulator 3 is arguable the second easiest platinum of the three. While there is a lot to do in this game, an online guide will help make things easy and reduce your playtime to under 15 hours for the platinum.

Lastly, while Alan Wake II has arguably the more difficult platinum of the three, it is still below-average in terms of challenge, as all of its trophies can be unlocked in Story Mode. There are some missable trophies to watch out for. However, if following a guide, the platinum can be unlocked in around 25 hours with relative ease.
