PlayStation Plus members are in for another month of free games. Earlier in the month, PlayStation released the first batch of free games for 2018, and added a new name to the list.

Aside from the games that were listed, PS Plus members also received a free copy of "Psychopass: Mandatory Happiness." Based on the anime series of the same title, the game was released for owners of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.

Developed by 5pb, "Psychopass: Mandatory Happiness" was first released in 2015 for the Xbox One and 2016 for the PlayStation Vita. A visual novel set in Tokyo, the game takes place during the first eight episodes of the anime. Players will have the choice to play either Inspector Nadeshiko Kugatachi or Enforcer Takuma Tsurugi. Depending on who the player chooses, they will either be setting off recover Kugatachi's missing memories or Tsurugi's missing lover.

Visual novel fans will be happy to see the addition.

Here are the other games members of PS Plus will be able to get their hands on this January:

PS4 owners will be able to get their hands on "Batman: The Telltale Series." A point and click, narrative-driven "Batman" game developed by Telltale, while it is not as action-heavy as other superhero games, it provides a nice alternative for fans in search of a more morality-oriented and story-heavy take on the resident Bat's adventures. Similar to other games by Telltale, players will be able to make choices throughout the game that will eventually determine the story's flow and eventual ending.

Owners of the PS4 will also be able to get their hands on adventure-horror game "Uncanny Valley" and roleplaying stealth game "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided." That is not all the game's PS4 owners can claim this January, there is more and a full list can be found on GameSpot.

PlayStation 3 owners will also be getting free games, the two games available to them this January are brawling game "Sacred 3" and point-and-click adventure game "Book of Unwritten Tales 2."

PlayStation Vita owners will get both "Psychopass: Mandatory Happiness" and "Uncanny Valley."
