Now that January is about to end, the leaks about next month's PS Plus lineup are starting to come through. As always, an ever-reliable source is giving us the skinny way before Sony makes the lineup official.
According to "billbil-kun" the four free games for PS Plus Essential next month are the following: OlliOlli World Mafia Definitive Edition Evil Dead: The Game Destiny 2: Beyond Light All things considered, next month's "rumored" PS Plus Essential lineup is relatively strong. OlliOlli World and Evil Dead only came out last year. The latter, in particular, should be fun to play ahead of the theatrical release of Evil Dead Rise on April 21. Meanwhile, Destiny 2: Beyond Light being essentially free-to-play should give Bungie's live-service title the necessary marketing push as fans look forward to the release of Lightfall next month. Finally, Mafia Definitive Edition only came out three years ago and is a highly acclaimed re-release of the iconic action-adventure title.
Because the earth's rotation apparently stopped and gone backwards, January is turning out to be the longest month we've had in a while, so don't expect Sony to announce next month's PS Plus Essential freebies anytime soon.
