Yesterday, Sony pulled back the curtain on their PS Plus lineup for December 2024, which is part of the festivities celebrating PlayStation’s 30-year milestone. This announcement, however, hasn’t exactly hit the sweet spot for many fans. Next month’s picks for Essential games feature a title that was actually removed from PS Plus Extra just earlier this year, meaning plenty of subscribers have likely already given it a whirl.
Fans Think December’s PS Plus Games Should Be Better for the 30th Anniversary
So, here’s the scoop from yesterday: the PS Plus lineup for December features "It Takes Two," "Aliens: Dark Descent," and "Temtem." Interestingly, "It Takes Two" previously made an appearance in PS Plus Extra but got the boot earlier this year.
Judging by comments scattered across the PS Blog, gaming forums, and a wave of social media reactions, it’s not the actual games that have players irked. Instead, they’re a bit let down given the significance of the occasion.
One subscriber didn’t pull any punches, describing it as "one of the most corporate and uncaring attempts at an anniversary, let alone a 30th anniversary, I have ever witnessed.” This prompted them to comment for the first time, solely to vent their frustration. Another chimed in, “I usually don’t like complaining on blogs but this is horrible.”
As it stands, the full list for PS Plus Extra and Premium this December is still under wraps. However, Premium players have been teased with the prospect of three nostalgic classics and a new game trial to look forward to.
