PlayStation’s announcement of the January 2025 PS Plus games, including Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, has drawn strong criticism from subscribers. Many players are upset, pointing to the game’s troubled past and questioning why it’s being offered as a free title this month.

It is important to remember that after season 4 of Suicide Squad, the game will no longer receive content updates. Episode 8 will be released this month, and it’ll essentially die at that point.

Why it matters: PS Plus subscribers worry about the game’s quality and question why a title with such a troubled history is being offered.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League: PS Plus or Minus?
When Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League came out in 2024 it quickly received criticism for technical problems and gameplay issues. Players reported bugs, performance lag, and the game being literally unplayable.

In response, Sony started offering refunds to unhappy customers, admitting the game had serious unplayable issues. This was a rare move for a major release and showed how bad the problems were.

Now, PlayStation is giving out this game to PS Plus monthly subscribers, and fans are not happy about it. Many feel it doesn’t add value and reflects badly on PlayStation’s game selection.

On PlayStation’s announcement tweet, one user said that including Suicide Squad in the PS Plus lineup was already bad, but adding Concord and Dustborn would have completed the trio of disappointing games.

One user commented that the live service for Suicide Squad has already been canceled and jokingly suggested adding Concord to the lineup too. One outraged fan straight up said they’d rather pay less for PS Plus if it meant being able to skip this month’s games.

It will be interesting to see how PlayStation handles this controversy and if any changes are made to future PS Plus lineups. The outcome could impact the service’s reputation and user satisfaction in the long run.

In the meantime, players looking for alternatives can enjoy other titles in January’s PS Plus lineup, like Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.
