Happy New Year everyone! We at Trophy Hunter wish you the best and hope you ring in the new year whichever way like, whether it be loud and crazy, quiet and peaceful, or with a controller in your hand. And so, without further ado, here is the next line-up of PlayStation Plus Free Games January 2023 available for download on Tuesday, January 3.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. In this third-person action adventure which takes place five years following the events of Revenge of the Sith, Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis is being hunted by the Empire, while he himself is searching for a means to bring the Jedi back.

Next, also for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Axiom Verge 2, a sequel to the 2015 Axiom Verge. In this side-scrolling action adventure, billionaire Indra Chaudhari must travel to Antarctica to save his daughter.

Lastly, for the PS4, there’s Fallout 76, the online action RPG which caused quite a stir upon its release in 2018. Explore the post-apocalyptic open-world on your own or with friends, as the residents of Vault 76 are free to repopulate the wasteland.

Among the PlayStation Plus free games January 2023 line-up, all three titles have a Platinum trophy to unlock.

Axiom Verge 2 is by far the easiest Platinum of the three. The game itself is not difficult, and sliders allow you to make the game even easier. Expect around 15-20 hours for the Platinum.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is fairly average in terms of difficulty, with some boss battles requires some skills. Around 30-35 hours of gameplay is required for this Platinum.

Lastly, while Fallout 76 isn’t any more difficult than previous games in the series, especially if you have a boosting partner, you can expect well over 100 hours to complete everything necessary for the Platinum.

The winter holidays are fast approaching, and you know what that means, right? More time for gaming! And Santa Sony has us covered with their next line-up of PlayStation Plus Free Games December 2022 available for download on Tuesday, December 6.

First, for the PS4, there is Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which is actually a complication of Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. This trilogy of sci-fi action-RPG developed by BioWare focuses on Commander Shepard who’s military team are faced with an advanced race of synthetic-organic enemies known as the Reapers. The Mass Effect Legendary Edition also includes all the DLC originally released for their respective games in the trilogy.

Next, available for both the PS4 and PS5 is Biomutant, an open-world RPG where players take control of a mammalian warrior and explore a world of mutated animals in an adventure with branching storylines depending on decisions made by the player.

Last, also for both the PS4 and PS5 is the brand new Divine Knockout, a third-person platformer brawler in which players battle gods by knocking them off the map.

Not only do all three of the PlayStation Plus Free Games December 2022 titles have Platinum trophies to unlock, but since Mass Effect Legendary Edition is three titles in one, that means there are a total of 5 Platinum trophies.

Among these, Biomutant is perhaps the easiest and quickest Platinum. The game is not particularly difficult with only a few minor challenges, and can be completed in around 25-30 hours depending on whether or not you follow a guide.

Each of the three Mass Effect titles require a little more skill in acquiring the Platinum, though are of average difficulty and require around 30 or more hours of gameplay.

Since Divine Knockout is a new game, we unfortunately do not have any information on the difficulty or time required in obtaining the Platinum. However, we will update this article once we have more information.
