PlayStation confirms January Game Catalog additions including Resident Evil

PlayStation has confirmed a set of additions to its PlayStation Plus Game Catalog that were first leaked by Dealabs insider billbil-kun on January 14. The lineup centers on Resident Evil Village and also includes Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, The Exit 8, and Art of Rally. The company also announced a Classics Catalog addition: the original PS1 port of Ridge Racer.

PlayStation’s official blog announcement and the leak both indicate the new catalog entries are expected to appear around January 20. Resident Evil Village is notable not only as the headline arrival for PlayStation Plus subscribers but also because it is scheduled to hit Xbox Game Pass on the same day, creating a rare cross-service overlap for a recent AAA title.

For subscribers this month’s additions cover a lot of ground. Resident Evil Village brings modern single-player horror and the potential attention of Capcom’s ongoing Resident Evil Showcase events. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth offers a major JRPG entry that could attract players who follow the Yakuza series’ reinvention. Expeditions: A MudRunner Game and Art of Rally add simulation and indie rallying flavor for players looking to expand beyond mainstream genres. A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead and The Exit 8 round out the mix with narrative and action-oriented choices, and Ridge Racer’s PS1 port gives retro collectors a touchstone from PlayStation’s early library.

Practically, this is a good month to reassess subscription priorities and backlogs. If you subscribe to PlayStation Plus and also have Xbox Game Pass, Resident Evil Village’s dual availability gives you flexibility—play where your friends are, or where performance and save options suit you best. For players tracking limited-time events, Capcom’s Resident Evil Showcase could amplify interest in Village and related DLC or announcements, making it worth holding off on purchases until new details arrive.

Watch the PlayStation blog and your console’s “Game Catalog” section around January 20 for the full rollout. If you prefer to curate a short play queue, decide whether to tackle the big-ticket Resident Evil Village first or use this patch of catalog additions to chip away at niche picks like Art of Rally and Ridge Racer. Either way, January’s Game Catalog drop gives PlayStation Plus members a varied set of picks to jump into next week.
