One of the advantages of the games offered via PS Plus is that they often allow you to discover unsuspected gems. And according to the players, the month of January hides a great one.
Some people sometimes tend to assert the opposite, but analyzes have proven it to us: the PS Plus is actually a much more interesting service than one can imagine. Indeed, in addition to making us save a lot of money Throughout the year, the PlayStation service also and above all allows us to test a large number of titles at no additional cost thanks to the games offered monthly. Games which, sometimes, hide very beautiful nuggets. And the new vintage coming this month January 2026 proves it to us once again.
Core Keeper, this hidden nugget coming to PS Plus
Indeed, in addition to being able to discover titles like Need for Speed Unbound and Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed starting tomorrow, PS Plus subscribers will also have the opportunity to discover Core Keeper, a 2D pixel art survival game released in August 2024. Developed by Pugstorm, it invites players to slip into the shoes of an explorer, whose objective is to uncover the secrets of a vast cave forgotten since the dawn of time.
“In this award-winning sandbox adventure, designed for 1 to 8 players, your choices shape an epic journey through the twists and turns of an underground mine” the developers then explain about it. Because Core Keeper is not just a game of exploration and treasure hunting. It is also a farming and management game, where it is possible to build your base to create your own little personalized corner. “Cultivate your garden, fish in mysterious waters, master a wide range of recipes, raise and care for animals” can we read in particular in the pitch of the game.
Enough to promise great adventures to PS Plus subscribers, therefore, who will be able to embark on a title that has somewhat gone under the radar despite its very good feedback. Because Core Keeper has a nice score of 85 on Metacritic, but also evaluations “extremely positive” on Steam, where it reaches a score of 96% from nearly 1,300 reviews.
