PlayStation has announced its first additions to PS Plus for 2023. Starting January 3, it's offering three new games for all PS Plus subscribers. These include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Axiom Verge 2, and Fallout 76. As usual, he plans to announce exclusive Extra and Premium titles later this month.

Jedi: Fallen Order is a good addition, both for the game itself and for strategic reasons. It's a great game and a must have for all Star Wars fans. It's also getting a sequel in 2023. Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to Fallen Order, will launch on March 17. Players who haven't caught up with the series yet are more likely to grab the first title while it's free for PS Plus users.

Axiom Verge 2 is the sequel to an indie Metroidvania classic, following a new story and new characters. Originally launched in 2020, it was released on PS5 earlier this year. The main character explores subterranean environments and ruins as well as alternate realities, all depicted in the series' signature pixel art.

Each PS Plus addition usually has a multiplayer title. January is Fallout 76, an MMO addition to the Fallout series. Player characters are the original wave of Vault Dwellers, released to reclaim the United States after nuclear annihilation. The game went free-to-play earlier in 2022, and Prime Gaming brought it to subscribers as well.
