The selection includes:

  • Ultros (PS4, PS5)

Undisputed

Undisputed is perhaps the most notable addition, as it marks the first major licensed boxing game in over a decade.


Developed by Steel City Interactive, the title launched in October 2024 and features over 70 licensed fighters, including legends like Muhammad Ali and Tyson Fury, alongside modern stars such as Canelo Álvarez.


The game focuses on realism with advanced footwork mechanics, stamina management, and a career mode where players can climb from amateur tournaments to championship glory. It also lets players create their own fighter, customizing everything from body type to tattoos and gear.


Reviews from critics have been fair to positive, with an OpenCritic score of 73/100, praising its authenticity, realism, and detailed boxing mechanics, though noting room for more content and features. On Steam, feedback is mixed, with 60% positive ratings from over 21,000 users, highlighting its strong simulation quality but pointing out launch issues, AI flaws, and missing elements like custom entrances.


Subnautica: Below Zero

Next up is Subnautica: Below Zero, the standalone sequel to the acclaimed underwater survival game.


Set in the arctic region of Planet 4546B, players take on the role of scientist Robin Ayou, who is investigating the mysterious death of her sister.


The game combines exploration, crafting, and survival mechanics, with players building habitats, scavenging resources, and constructing vehicles to survive the harsh climate. The icy biomes are filled with both beauty and danger, as alien creatures roam the depths.


Below Zero may be smaller in scale compared to the original Subnautica, but it delivers a rich and atmospheric experience that balances narrative with survival gameplay.


It’s been well-received, earning around 83/100 on Metacritic and a Very Positive rating on Steam. Players praise its beautiful world, engaging exploration, and solid survival mechanics, though some note the more intrusive story, shorter length, and less intense scares compared to the first game. Still, it’s widely regarded as an excellent and immersive survival adventure.


Ultros

Ultros adds a unique artistic flair to the lineup. This indie Metroidvania blends intense close-quarter combat with moments of calm through gardening and cultivation mechanics.


Players explore The Sarcophagus, a cosmic vessel orbiting a black hole, while trapped in a time loop. The game’s loop-based progression allows players to restart at key points, unlocking new areas and abilities through a branching skill tree.


With its psychedelic art style and mystical soundtrack, Ultros stands out as one of the more experimental titles in the lineup, offering something fresh for players who enjoy unconventional storytelling and design.


Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Finally, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown brings high-speed aerial combat to the mix. Released originally in 2019, the game remains a fan favorite for its thrilling dogfights and stunning visuals.


Players step into the role of an elite fighter pilot, navigating dynamic weather conditions and engaging in tactical battles across expansive skies.


With a wide roster of real and fictional aircraft, customizable loadouts, and a cinematic campaign set in the Strangereal universe, Ace Combat 7 continues to deliver adrenaline-fueled action.


Critics praised its stunning graphics, gameplay, and immersive flight experience, with Metacritic scores hovering around 80/100. Steam reviews are Very Positive, with fans calling it a series highlight and an underrated gem.



Sony also reminded PlayStation Plus members that January’s essential lineup, which included Need for Speed Unbound, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, and Core Keeper, is still available to claim until February 2. After that, the focus shifts entirely to February’s new batch of games.
