Happy New Year from the PlayStation Plus team! As many of you know, PlayStation Plus is the subscription service from PlayStation Network that gets you access to free games, huge discounts, and great exclusives across the network. And we’re kicking off the New Year in a big way!
This month’s spotlight free PSN Game is none other than Telltale’s Back to the Future The Game – Full Series. All of the episodes from this acclaimed adventure game are available for you to download starting with the January 3rd PlayStation Store update. We’re also including PSN Game Sword and Soldiers with tomorrow’s update. This side-scrolling strategy game lets you control an entire army while wielding devastating magical abilities.
Free PS one Classics make their rounds this month in the form of the original Syphon Filter games. Syphon Filter 1, 2 and 3 will be available free, for the entire month starting also with the next Store update.
The PlayStation Store regularly holds events and sales for all PSN members throughout the year, and Plus always gives an extra leg-up in taking advantage of these sales. This month is no different as we’re gearing up to launch our 12 for ’12 sale. 12 PSN Games to kick of 2012 will be on sale for one week starting Jan 17th. We can’t reveal what the games are just yet, but if you love PSN games, you’re going to see a lot of great first-time sales on titles and get them 50% off with PlayStation Plus.
You’ll find plenty more in the way of discounts this month on standout titles like Crysis, Burnout Crash!, Gatling Gears and more. Check the full list below and remember these are expected games and discounts for Plus. Some content and/or release dates outlined may change including the addition or removal of content.

Even more happy now that I have my Plus Subscription. Great update.
I really don’t enjoy seeing PS One classics that were given away before on Plus re-released. First Spyro, now Syphon Filter. If this is going to be a continuing trend, it needs to be addressed, and more so, offer an alternative for those that already obtained the game(s) previously on Plus.
Getting “free” games was the main reason I spent hard-earned money subscribing to the service. Please treat your long-time and loyal customers fairly.
Why not have Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX for next month?
Thanks.
Syphon Filter 2 has never been a release on Plus; so that’s the new one of the batch. Adding the other two, though they have seen a release on Plus before, was just icing on the cake. So while they may not be new to you, for those who recently joined Plus in the past 6 months or so, it’s extra love.
