In addition to the Extra level additions, Billbil-kun noted that Ridge Racer would make its debut at the Premium level. The leak pointed out that this is the PS1 version of the game, so the additional features from Arcade Archive 2 version will not be available. When Ridge Racer comes to PS Plus it will join Ridge Racer 2 and Ridge Racer Type 4which are already available as part of the Classics Catalog.
While the new games for PS Plus Extra and Premium have yet to be officially announced, Billbil-kun has historically been accurate in leaking information about new additions to the service. Fortunately, gamers shouldn't have to wait long for official confirmation, as a reveal from the company is expected to come on Wednesday, January 14. It remains to be seen if other games for these tiers can be revealed then. For context, eight games came to PS Plus Extra on December 16, with one added to Premium.
As for the leaked games for January 2026, Resident Evil Village is an obvious highlight for many. The 2021 title was the last major new installment in the Resident Evil franchise, and it may interest those who are looking forward Resident Evil Requiem. In addition, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a big deal, as this is the first time the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio game is coming to a subscription service. However, it's worth noting that a trial version of the game is already available for PS Plus Premium members.
These AAA titles, along with the other games on the list, should give players a variety of options when looking for something new to play. For example, The art of rallying, Expeditions: A MudRunner Gameand Ridge Racer all put players behind the wheel of different vehicles, but they differ significantly in their presentation and gameplay. Time will tell what other additions PlayStation has planned for the service in the coming months.
