A new leak suggests that Resident Evil Village and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will join the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on January 20, 2026 for Extra and Premium members, though Sony hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

If true, it would be a strong start to the year, but for now we’re waiting to see whether the leak is accurate.

What’s Been Leaked So Far

This leak outlines what might be the first set of Game Catalog additions coming to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium in January. It gives us an early look at what to expect. According to the report, the lineup is split between the Game Catalog and the Classics Catalog:

  • Resident Evil Village (PS5/PS4)
  • Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5/PS4)
  • Expeditions: A MudRunner Game (PS5/PS4)
  • A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead (PS5/PS4)
  • art of rally (PS5/PS4)

For PlayStation Plus Premium members, the leak also mentions one classic title, Ridge Racer.

Availability Date and Reveal Timing

The leak says the new PS Plus games should become available on January 20 2026. Sony is expected to announce the lineup on the official reveal date January 14 2026, which matches the usual timing of past reveals.

Still, none of this is confirmed, so the dates could change until Sony makes an official announcement.

How Reliable Is This Leak?

The leak comes from billbil-kun, a well‑known leaker with a strong history of accurate PS Plus predictions, often posting early information on Dealabs. Because of this, many players pay attention when he shares new information.

Even so, it’s best to wait for the official details on the PlayStation Blog or other trusted Sony channels.

Why These Picks Make Sense

These reported picks offer a balanced mix of big titles, long adventures, and smaller niche experiences. The leak highlights several key games:

  • Resident Evil Village – a major horror flagship with strong replay value and good DLC potential.
  • Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – a massive RPG with a long campaign and wide appeal.
  • Expeditions: A MudRunner Game – slower, tactical exploration that suits relaxed co‑op sessions.
  • A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead – a timely horror release that’s easy for streamers to showcase.
  • art of rally – an indie favourite known for its addictive “one more run” loop.
  • Ridge Racer – a nostalgic PS1 classic that adds value to the Premium Classics tier.

Together, these choices create a lineup that appeals to different types of players while strengthening both the Game Catalog and the Classics collection.

Catalog vs Monthly Games (Avoid Confusion)

It’s really important to understand the difference between the two types of PS Plus offerings. Knowing this makes it easier to follow updates and avoid mixing the two up. Let’s take a closer look at them:

  • Essential Monthly Games are titles you can claim and keep in your library as long as your subscription stays active.
  • The Extra and Premium Game Catalog – your games can be added or removed over time, so each update is a part of the regular library rotation.

What Players Should Do Right Now

We can prepare for the upcoming lineup by following a few simple steps. There are a few main actions to keep in mind:

  • Plan your downloads for January 20 if the leak turns out to be accurate.
  • Watch for the official reveal on January 14.
  • Check your storage space, especially for large RPGs and horror games.
  • Start planning your playtime, particularly if you want to finish long titles like Infinite Wealth.

Why Leaks Matter for PS Plus

Early PS Plus leaks help players plan ahead. Knowing what might be coming makes it easier to decide on upgrades, clear storage, or set aside time for bigger games. It also helps friends organise co‑op sessions, especially when PS5 PS4 availability affects who can play together.

For publishers, early buzz can drive interest in DLC and expansions, opening the door for DLC upsell and boosting visibility before anything is officially announced.
