Criticism Arises Over December 2024 PS Plus Game Lineup

Yesterday, Sony pulled back the curtain on the December 2024 lineup for PS Plus, coinciding with the grand celebration of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. However, this reveal has left many players feeling a bit underwhelmed. Interestingly, among the Essential games for next month is a title that was previously on PS Plus Extra earlier in the year, which means quite a few subscribers might have already dabbled with it.

Fans are expressing their expectations for a more exciting December lineup, especially given the significance of the 30th-anniversary milestone. The games on offer this month include It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem. Notably, It Takes Two was a part of PS Plus Extra not too long ago, making its return somewhat less exciting.

It’s not that the players are unhappy with the games themselves—they just expected more for such a big occasion. Feedback on the PS Blog, gaming forums, and social media reflects this sentiment. "This feels like one of the most detached and uninspired attempts at celebrating an anniversary, especially a 30th one," expressed one subscriber. Another echoed this frustration, saying, "I’ve never felt the need to comment before, but this was just unremarkable. Typically, I steer clear of venting on blogs, but this was a letdown."

While the complete list for PS Plus Extra and Premium in December 2024 hasn’t been revealed yet, those with Premium memberships are promised a treat with three classic fan-favorites and an exciting game trial.
