Hitman 2
Reason: Assassin 3 will be out next month on the PS4, PS5 and other platforms. Not only is it the first major release of 2021, but it is also one of the few notable releases in January 2021. Before its release, IO Interactive and Sony would be smart to Hitman 2 free. The first Hitman game is already made for free through PlayStation Plus, but not Hitman 2. For IO Interactive, once Hitman 3 releases, Assassin 2 sales are likely to plummet, meaning now is the perfect time to cash in a PlayStation Plus check and generate hype and interest for Assassin 3. For Sony, it allows them to have a remarkable AAA game in their first offering of 2021. Furthermore, as multi-platform gamers Hitman 2 on PS4 or PS5, they are more likely to stick with PS4 and PS5 Assassin 3.

Godfall
Reason: Godfall may have just been released, which would usually disqualify it from PlayStation Plus, but it needs the players and injection of life that free on PlayStation Plus can deliver multiplayer games. It’s likely coming to Xbox and possibly other platforms sometime in 2021, but that won’t matter much unless it starts to change things. For Gearbox and Counterplay games, the appeal is clear. For Sony, it may not only tick off the PS5 box, but also help with a game it has ditched marketing in and is considered one of the console’s bigger exclusive launches.

Travel to the Savage Planet
Reason: Travel to the Savage Planet is celebrating its one-year anniversary next month, making it a great time to play for free on PlayStation Plus. Not only have 505 Games and Sony teamed up in the past, but 505 Games has little to lose right now. Not only will there never be a sequel now that developer Typhoon Studios is owned by Google, but it has likely sold a vast majority of the copies it will sell right now. For Sony, Travel to the Savage Planet can’t be a headliner, but it’s a great complementary game, especially considering how relatively recent it is and widely regarded as a solid game.
