Sony has revealed its new lineup of PlayStation Plus games that will be joining the service in December 2024. By all accounts, PS Plus has been on a bit of a hot streak the past few months as Sony has previously handed out titles like Dead Space, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Hot Wheels: Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, Death Note: Killer Within, and WWE 2K24 across October and November. Now, the final free PS5 and PS4 games that will join PS Plus to close 2024 have been unveiled, and they continue the service’s great run.

Going live next week on December 3rd and lasting until January 6th, PS Plus subscribers at all tiers will be able to download It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem at no cost. It Takes Two is likely the standout game of December as it’s previous Game of the Year winne at The Game Awards. Aliens: Dark Descent is also landing on PlayStation Plus at arguably the perfect time as the Alien franchise has been massive in recent months following the launch of Alien: Romulus.

Outside of these three games, Sony also happened to tease which new “Classics” will be coming to PS Plus Premium in December. This group will feature Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Jak and Daxter. Sly 2 and Sly 3 being added is a particularly big deal as it will now make the original Sly Cooper trilogy playable on PS5 and PS4 as Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus already launched earlier in 2024.
