PS Plus Extra and Premium Adding 9 New Games on December 16
PlayStation Plus subscribers now have eight more games to look forward to in the Extra tier and one more to look forward to in the Premium tier. The Extra tier of PlayStation Plus is the middle tier of the service, giving subscribers access to the monthly free games that make up the Essential tier along with a large library of PS4 and PS5 titles. The Premium tier adds retro games to the mix, and ultimately gives subscribers the most bang for their buck.
December 2025 has already been a busy one for PS Plus subscribers across all tiers, with more Essential-tier free games than usual. Currently, PS Plus subscribers across Essential, Extra, and Premium can claim Killing Floor 3, LEGO Horizon Adventures, Neon White, Synduality: Echo of Ada, and The Outlast Trials completely free of charge.
When It Comes to the Free PS Plus Games for December 2025, Some Fans Are Getting Short-Changed
PlayStation officially releases the latest PS Plus Essential games for December 2025, but some subscribers are being short-changed.
What’s weird is that not only is LEGO Horizon Adventures one of the free PS Plus games for December 2025, it’s also been confirmed for the Extra library, and will make its debut on Tuesday, December 16. LEGO Horizon Adventures was confirmed for the Extra tier along with Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Cat Quest 3, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Paw Patrol: Grand Prix, Paw Patrol World, Planet Coaster 2, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. PS Plus Premium subscribers can look forward to those games plus the PlayStation 2 version of popular fighting game Soulcalibur 3.

Other notable new additions include Cat Quest 3, a fun co-op action-RPG, and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, a challenging Soulslike that first hit the scene in 2023.
PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will get to play these games starting December 16, which will mark the Extra tier’s second update for the month.
