Happy New Year! Sony Unveils PlayStation Plus Games for January 2021
Happy New Year 2021 everyone!! 
We'll toast to the new year (and good riddance to 2020) with January's PlayStation Plus games from Sony featuring Maneater, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Greedfall. 
Below are complete details from Senior Manager of Game Services Content Adam Michel to quote:
PlayStation Plus starts 2021 with a bang. PlayStation Plus members will receive two PS4 titles – action adventure Shadow of the Tomb Raider and action RPG Greedfall – on Tuesday January 5. On the same day, PlayStation 5 owners with a PlayStation Plus membership can play a terrifying apex predator in the open world (sea?) RPG Maneater*.
Let’s take a closer look at the games.
Maneater* (PS5 version)
Experience the ultimate power fantasy as the apex predator of the seas – a terrifying shark! Maneater is a single player, open world action RPG (ShaRkPG) where you are the shark. Starting as a small shark pup you are tasked with surviving the harsh world while eating your way up the ecosystem.
To do this you will explore a large and varied open world encountering diverse enemies – both human and wildlife. Find the right resources and you can grow and evolve far beyond what nature intended, allowing the player to tailor the shark to their play style. Eat. Explore. Evolve.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PS4 game)
Fight, explore, craft and survive amid the dense and perilous jungles of South America in Lara Croft’s biggest adventure to date as you race to save the world from a Maya apocalypse. Gather resources and master the unforgiving terrain.
Outgunned and outnumbered, you need to use your surroundings to your advantage; strike from the shadows and use mud to camouflage your presence. Use advanced traversal techniques to reach long-forgotten tombs and negotiate deadly puzzles.
Greedfall** (PS4 game)
In this stunning action RPG, explore uncharted new lands as you set foot on a remote island seeping with magic, and filled with riches, lost secrets, and fantastic creatures.
You’ll have complete freedom to shape your abilities, spells and skills and decide whether to complete objectives with combat, diplomacy, deception, or stealth. Forge this new world’s destiny, as you befriend or betray companions...

PS5 Scene Game Dumps via New Release Group PS5B Surface!
Last month we saw the first PS5 Game Dumps from BigBlueBox, and since then JRP threw their hat in the ring bringing a few PlayStation 5 rips of their own with PS5B joining the PS5Scene today sharing their first PS5 iSO Images on topsites in hopes the extracted game dump contents will eventually be used to get the first PS5 Game Backups running on either a PS5 Development / Test Kit as was done in the early PS4 Scene or via Retail PS5 Console whenever the first PS5 Jailbreak Exploit arrives.
