Sony's PlayStation Plus to unveil new game lineup in early 2026

Sony is expected to announce its January 2026 PlayStation Plus lineup, featuring a blend of AAA titles, notable indie releases and multiplayer games for both PS5 and PS4. The selection aims to balance recent hits with long‑running favorites to provide value for subscribers and signal the direction of the service.

Rumors suggest that in July 2026 the original Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops II will be ported to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, possibly joining the PlayStation Plus Essential catalog. The ports would include full campaign, multiplayer and Zombies modes, arriving as the series exits Xbox Game Pass and highlighting Activision’s shifting distribution strategy.
