Now, PlayStation has confirmed nine more games available via the more expensive Extra and Premium tiers, with the brilliant Resident Evil Village leading the charge.
Including the Essential games, PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting a total of 12 games they can play free throughout January, with the Extra and Premium games obviously remaining in the library for the next few months at least. I should stress, we're always warned weeks in advance when a game is leaving the service.
