Overview of December 2024 PS Plus Games
- December 2024’s free PS Plus games are the least favored of the year.
- October 2024 marked a peak performance month for PS Plus, highlighted by popular titles like Dead Space remake and WWE 2K24.
- The selected games for December 2024 include It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem.
The free games offered through PlayStation Plus in December 2024 have proven to be the least engaging package of the year. Each month, subscribers to the Essential tier gain access to compelling new titles, yet sometimes the offerings do not resonate with the audience.
This month’s selection includes It Takes Two, a celebrated co-op adventure that captured the Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2021. Additionally, Aliens: Dark Descent, a real-time strategy game steeped in the chilling ambiance of the Aliens franchise, joins alongside Temtem, a multiplayer game drawing inspiration from Pokémon. Despite the array of choices presented in December, it appears that subscriber interest in these titles has been notably lukewarm.
Recent analysis from Game Insights indicates a significant drop in player engagement, with a reported decrease of 10.9% when comparing the December lineup to the previous month’s offerings. These figures suggest that December 2024 is regarded as the weakest month this year for PS Plus, with TrueTrophies noting that February 2024 was the second least popular month, featuring titles like Foamstars, Rollerdrome, and Steelrising.

Looking back at 2024, October emerged as the standout month for PS Plus with an impressive lineup that featured the critically acclaimed Dead Space remake and the whimsical Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, along with fan-favorite WWE 2K24. The inclusion of WWE 2K24, which had just been released at that time, drew significant attention and resulted in October achieving the highest engagement levels of the year.
As we look ahead, anticipation builds for what PlayStation Plus has in store for January 2025. Notably, the announcement for the January free games will be delayed this time, expected to be revealed on January 1 instead of the customary last Wednesday of December. This will leave subscribers eagerly awaiting to see if the upcoming lineup can surpass the offerings of December 2024.
