All PS Plus Games Given Away for Free in 2025 and How Much They Normally Cost
Year-round PlayStation Plus subscribers received substantial value from their memberships in 2025, with the combined retail value of free games offered by Sony exceeding $1,500. While that figure represents a minor decrease from 2024, the total number of free titles on PS Plus has actually increased over the past 12 months, if only marginally.
Monthly free games are far from the only benefit of PS Plus, but they are among its highlights, not least because they are available on every tier of the service: Essential, Extra, and Premium. Sony typically averages three new freebies—which, after being claimed, remain playable for as long as one is subscribed—per month, but the company deviated from this pattern several times over the course of 2025.
PS Plus Is Losing One of Its Most Emotionally-Charged Games and 3 Other Titles in January 2026
PlayStation Plus subscribers have to say goodbye to one of the service’s most emotionally-charged games and three other titles in January.
PS Plus Gave Away Over $1,500 Worth of Games in 2025
PS Plus offered 39 monthly free games in 2025, one more than the year before, averaging 3.25 titles per month. That figure was driven largely by two months: June, when PS Plus subscribers could claim Destiny 2‘s The Final Shape expansion alongside three other freebies, and December, which featured five free titles, all of which remain available to claim until early January. Based on full retail prices, the total value of the 2025 lineup reached $1,536.61, representing a roughly 4% decline compared to 2024.

One notable trend observed in this year’s data is a sharp decline in PS4 games. In 2024, nearly 87% of all monthly free titles claimable by PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium subscribers were playable on Sony’s last-generation console. This year, that percentage dropped to 51.28%. The trend is expected to continue, with Sony previously confirming plans to further deprioritize PS4 titles within PS Plus benefits starting in January 2026.

With PS Plus Essential priced between $79.99 and $119.88 per year (based on one- and 12-month plans), the more than $1,530 worth of free titles offered in 2025 represents a significant cost advantage. Actual value will vary based on player preference, but from a pure cost-savings perspective, the Essential tier delivered solid returns over the course of this year.
More PS Plus News Is Coming Before Year’s End
The latest batch of PS Plus freebies that went live in early December 2025 is still available to claim until January 5. Its standout title is Neon White, a speedrunning-centric shooter that’s one of the highest-rated games released in 2022. The January 2026 freebies are expected to be announced on December 31, aligning with Sony’s usual pattern of revealing them on the last Wednesday of the month.
