Thanksgiving is over, which means Christmas will soon be here. To get you ready for the snowy season, Sony’s December update offers a selection of low-key games via PlayStation Plus.
Company announced the games it is giving away for free for PS Plus subscribers throughout December. The list is not long, it contains only three games of different genres, but it’s not always about the number. In this case, it’s all about quality, and you’re getting some cool games to dive into this Christmas.
What are PS Plus December games?
If you’re subscribed to any of the three PS Plus tiers, you can download Lego 2k drive, PowerWash simulatorand Sable without extra charge. Lego 2k drive is the newest game on this list, arriving on most consoles on May 19th. An open world racing game not quite like Forza Horizon franchises, a game developed by Visual Concepts lets you build speedsters and race against computers and friends. U his review, My city staff writer Zack Zwiesen expressed disappointment with the game’s microtransactions, but praised the racing and building elements, the two most important parts.
Originally released in 2022 by FuturLab PowerWash simulator became a hit. The casual geek simulator is as relaxing as it is satisfying, and it stays fresh with ongoing series with crossover DLC which shows no signs of stopping. I wonder what needs to be cleaned next…
Finally, the oldest game here is this generation’s version The journey. Sable, developed by Shedworks and launching in September 2021, is an atmospheric open-world coming-of-age game about a girl and her hoverbike. There’s a lot more nuance to the game, but it’s best if you see it all for yourself. Everything you need to know Sable is that it is fantastic, the recipient of many awards and one of the the best games of that year by former staff writer Renata Price. Seriously, play it.
And there you have it. Three excellent, if low-key, games to kick back with as we enter December and wrap up what feels like the longest year on record. However, that’s not all you can check out right now. If you are subscribed to The most expensive tier of PS Plusthen the premium version for $18 you can try free trials Baldur’s gate 3 and Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Whatever floats your boat. I do not judge.
