A new year is right around the corner, with December bringing one chapter to a close and January starting a new one. This is true for publishers, development studios, subscription services like PS Plus, and individuals (who hopefully do not drop their New Year's resolution before January ends). For PS Plus, January can be a trend and tone-setter for a year. For example, last January saw PS Plus add Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Fallout 76, and more, and it's easy to see how the Essential Tier is essentially the spearhead for a plethora of games to follow with PS Plus Extra and Premium.
