PlayStation Plus is ending 2024 with a bang, delivering a robust selection of compelling PS4 and PS5 games to its Premium and Extra catalogs just in time for the holidays. This December’s additions offer a diverse range of gaming experiences, promising something for everyone. The lineup arrives on December 17th, but be warned – some titles will be departing the service on the same day.
The most significant addition is undoubtedly *Forspoken*, a PS5 exclusive action RPG. Initially revealed in June 2020 under the codename Project Athia, its launch proved divisive. While its exhilarating magic-driven traversal and combat garnered praise, its snarky dialogue alienated many players. Square Enix’s disappointment with the game’s performance led to the disbanding of the development team. However, this December, PS5 owners can experience this underrated title without the financial commitment, making it a truly enticing addition to the PS Plus Extra catalog, especially considering its thematic alignment with the upcoming Christmas season.
Beyond *Forspoken*, December’s lineup boasts several other notable titles. *Sonic Frontiers*, a game that polarized players, joins the service, offering a different kind of adventure. Ubisoft contributes the enjoyable party game, *Rabbids: Party of Legends*, perfect for some lighthearted multiplayer fun. Fans of narrative-driven experiences can dive into *Coffee Talk* and its sequel, *Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly*, alongside *A Space for the Unbound* from Toge Productions. For those with PlayStation VR2 headsets, *Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge* delivers a first-person shooter experience in the Star Wars universe. Rounding out the stellar selection are *WRC Generations*, *F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch*, *Jurassic World Evolution 2*, *PHOGS*, and *Biped*.
