Every game added in December 2024

PlayStation Plus used to be a subscription service that got you a few free games every month and access to the online features of other titles. Needing to offer something similar to Xbox Game Pass in 2022, PlayStation shook things up by introducing a tiered PS Plus system. There are now three options to choose from: Essential, Extra and Premium. Each tier costs more than the previous one, but paying more gives you access to more features and a bigger library of games.

Essential is the old PS Plus. The cheapest option that lets you play online and gets you a handful of free games every month. Extra gives you even more, unlocking a library of PS4 and PS5 games that you can download and play for the price of your subscription. Last but not least is Premium, which includes everything you get with extra access to the classic PlayStation library as well as demos of various new games. New games are added to each tier every month, and below you'll find what you'll be getting in November, regardless of which tier you're subscribed to, as well as links to where you can upgrade or sign up. you will You don't currently have PS Plus.
