PlayStation Plus January Lineup Shows Unexpected Regional Variation in Hong Kong
Hong Kong subscribers receive a unique game offering, marking a rare regional difference in PS Plus.
In an unusual move, PlayStation Plus subscribers in Hong Kong are receiving a different game lineup for January 2025 compared to other regions worldwide. While most territories will get The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, Hong Kong subscribers will instead have access to DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game as part of their monthly offerings.
The core lineup remains consistent across regions with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered being available to all PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers. This tier, which represents the basic level of PlayStation Plus membership, grants users access to online play and a monthly selection of games they can add to their digital libraries.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, available everywhere except Hong Kong, is a critically acclaimed first-person narrative experience known for its innovative storytelling and witty humor. In its place, Hong Kong subscribers will receive DEEEER Simulator, a chaotic physics-based game similar to Goat Simulator that has garnered mixed critical reception but maintains positive user reviews on Steam.
January 2025 PlayStation Plus Games:
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
- Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (All regions except Hong Kong)
- DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game (Hong Kong only)
Sony has not provided an official explanation for this regional variation in the PlayStation Plus lineup. The next batch of PlayStation Plus games is expected to be announced on Wednesday, January 29, following Sony’s traditional announcement schedule for monthly offerings.
