If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you should put your subscription to good use and check out a free JRPG that is seriously underrated, and that carries some great cyberpunk vibes. There are hundreds of games made available for members, depending on your subscription tier. The January 2026 PS Plus lineup contains several great games to download and play for free.

Among the multitude of options in the catalog, there is one remarkable title that is worthy of your attention. The JRPG Soul Hackers 2 is free on PS Plus, and members of both the Extra and Premium tiers have access to the title on PlayStation without any additional costs aside from their subscription. Subsequently, members of the Essential tier are locked out of this benefit and would have to upgrade their subscription to gain access to it.

Soul Hackers 2 Is Free On PlayStation Plus Now

Soul Hackers 2 is a rather recent game, having been released in 2022, and was added to PS Plus in May 2025. Despite its unique art style and setting, the title developed by Atlus is a classic JRPG. It should take you around 47 hours to beat the game, according to How Long To Beat, which makes it a great boon for PS Plus members, who gain access to it for free.

Soul Hackers 2 on PS Plus is one of those games that gives your membership more value, making its fee worth it. This is a great title to play, boasting a 3.94/5 rating on PlayStation (at the time of writing), and it may be your next new gaming obsession if you give it a chance while it’s still available in the catalog.
