PlayStation Plus Games December 2025: A Bumper Month for Subscribers

PlayStation Plus Offers Exceptional Value This December

PlayStation Plus subscribers are enjoying an exceptionally generous month in December 2025, as Sony has expanded its offerings across all subscription tiers. The service, which provides gamers with access to a rotating library of games, has become increasingly important in the competitive gaming landscape, offering value to millions of subscribers worldwide.

Essential Tier Receives Five Games Instead of Three

LEGO Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, Synduality Echo of Ada and Neon White are available to PlayStation Plus members from Tuesday December 2 until Monday January 5. This expanded lineup marks a special holiday offering, doubling the typical monthly allocation. The monthly free PlayStation Plus games are available to subscribers across all three tiers, and they are free to keep forever as long as one stays signed up for the service.

The December Essential lineup features notable diversity, ranging from family-friendly adventures to intense survival horror experiences. LEGO Horizon Adventures is a kid-friendly retelling of the Horizon Zero Dawn story, whilst The Outlast Trials is a survival-horror co-op game where players attempt to make their way through the titular trials.

Extra and Premium Tiers Gain Major Additions

PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers received an impressive catalogue update on 16 December. This month, stalk the streets of ancient Baghdad in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, cut down demons across a fallen empire in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, shred through hell’s underworld in Skate Story, or soar among the clouds in Granblue Fantasy: Relink. The additions also include Planet Coaster 2, Cat Quest 3, and family titles such as Paw Patrol games.

A day-one release, Skate Story puts you in control of a demon who makes a deal with the devil to swallow the moon, representing Sony’s continued commitment to bringing new releases directly to the service.

Implications for Gaming Subscribers

December’s expanded offerings demonstrate PlayStation’s strategy to maintain competitive advantage in the subscription gaming market. The combination of recent releases like LEGO Horizon Adventures and acclaimed titles such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage provides substantial value for subscribers. With multiplayer-focused games dominating the Essential lineup, the month appears tailored for holiday gaming sessions with friends and family. As the gaming industry increasingly shifts toward subscription models, such generous monthly offerings help justify the recurring cost for millions of PlayStation gamers worldwide.
