UPDATE Games leaving PS+ Extra/Deluxe/Premium on December 16th
PS Plus December Update — Free Multiplayer Weekend + New Games! 🎮🔥
What are the best/most enjoyable PS5 games you got for free on PlayStation Plus Monthly Games?
PS Plus Essential 2025 line-up had 12 PS5 exclusive games out of the total 39, the highest ever since launch of PS5 in 2020. PS4 users got access to 27 games, PS5 users got access to all 39 games. PS Plus will shift to a PS5 games lineup from Jan 2026, PS4 games will only be occasionally offered.

3 more games were added to be leaving, which are marked in Yellow. Some of these are region specific, so I marked that as well.
Per popular request, Metacritic ratings are now added to the sheet
Leaving means they will be gone from the “library”-like subscription service. So games won’t be playable after this date, EVEN if you downloaded them before. Obviously if you own them yourself by buying them before, they will still remain in your playable library.
DIFF = Difficulty to platinum the base game
LENGTH = Time to platinum the base game
DLC = If DLC is required for 100% completion
ONLINE = If online modes are required for base game completion, so this could either be multiplayer, coop, or simply a server connection.
The data is based on game guides from 3P (PSNP, playstationtrophies.org and PowerPyx). If none of these sites have a guide, we look for any info anywhere. The list is sorted by tier and then by ascending length.
If you dont agree with time or difficulty, blame the guide writers, not me...
If you want other columns added to these lists, sorry bad luck. This is gonna be it each month :)
If you see anything inaccurate, please be gentle with me. I have compiled this list for all the almost 1K PS+ Extra games, so errors are bound to happen. If you want access to that full list, send me a DM for beta access.
And yes, I am posting from a fresh account. So all those who were following my posts, sorry; you have to set it again.
Sony just dropped a new PS Plus update and it’s a solid month:
Monthly Games (Dec 2 – Jan 5):
LEGO Horizon Adventures
Killing Floor 3
The Outlast Trials
Synduality Echo of Ada
Neon White
And the best part — Free Multiplayer Weekend on Dec 6–7 (no PS Plus needed). You can hop into online modes for games like FC 26, Battlefield 6, COD BO7 and more.
Pretty good lineup overall. What are you playing this weekend?
Hi.
Hope you’re doing well.
I’m talking about PlayStation Plus Monthly Games, not the Game Catalog (where games typically leave after a year or so). You get to keep the monthly games if you add them to your library that month.
I’ve gotten many AAA and indie games this way and it seems like almost all high-profile PS5 games the last several years have been PS Plus free monthly games.
For me, Dead Space (free around a year ago) is maybe the best game in years given away as part of the Monthly Games.
