Yesterday, Sony pulled back the curtain on its PS Plus lineup for December 2024 as part of the PlayStation 30th anniversary festivities, and it’s safe to say that the reveal didn’t exactly hit the mark with players. Among the Essential games set for release next month is a notable title that had previously been removed from the PS Plus Extra collection earlier in the year, which means that many subscribers have already had their run with it.
The upcoming PS Plus games for December 2024 include “It Takes Two,” “Aliens: Dark Descent,” and “Temtem.” Notably, “It Takes Two” was formerly available on PS Plus Extra before being taken down several months ago.
The general consensus, echoing through PS Blog comments, gaming forums, and social media chatter, isn’t directed at the games themselves—it’s more about the missed opportunity they represent. Many fans feel that the selection doesn’t quite capture the celebratory spirit of such a significant milestone.
Comments from subscribers range from surprised disappointment to outright dismay. One frustrated player labeled it “one of the most corporate and uncaring attempts at an anniversary” they’ve ever seen. Another chimed in, admitting it was the first time they’d felt compelled to comment due to being so underwhelmed by the lineup. “I usually don’t like complaining on blogs, but this is horrible,” they stated.
As for the full offerings in the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalogs for December 2024, the wait continues. However, Premium players can expect three cherished classics and an exclusive game trial as part of the upcoming content.
