As the first Tuesday of December arrives, PlayStation Plus members can now download this month’s free games. As previously announced, Sony is offering five titles throughout December, all of which are available to every PS Plus member, regardless of subscription tier.
The highlight of this month's batch of PS Plus games is LEGO Horizon Adventures. Co-developed by Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo in association with The Lego Group, LEGO Horizon Adventures is a reimagining of 2017's hit PlayStation exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn, remade in LEGO brick form.
It's more of a lighthearted, family-friendly retelling of the story that focuses less on the apocalyptic nature of the world and more on the environmental messages and Aloy's connections with her family and friends. Action-adventure gameplay mixed with puzzle-solving, LEGO Horizon Adventures can be played solo or with a friend in two-player co-op.
Another pretty big title available this month for PS5 is Killing Floor 3, the latest installment in Tripwire Interactive's first-person survival horror shooter. Featuring six-player cooperative multiplayer, players must defeat waves of zombie-like bioengineered creatures known as "Zeds".
The remaining three games available to claim throughout the month of December are The Outlast Trials, a psychological survival horror experience for PS5 and PS4; Synduality Echo of Ada, a third-person extraction shooter for PS5; and Neon White, a fast-paced, first-person action game playable on PS5 and PS4. The official descriptions for all three games read:
The Outlast Trials | PS4, PS5
Red Barrels invites you to experience mind-numbing terror in this first-person psychological survival horror that can be played solo or with up to three other players online. You’ve been abducted by the Murkoff Corporation and trapped inside their facility. Your goal: earn the right to be released back into society. In order to do so, you must complete Trials and MK-Challenges. In pure Outlast fashion, the core gameplay involves avoiding enemies, hiding from them, and trying to run away. Murkoff will provide tools you can use to increase your stealth capabilities, create opportunities to flee, slow down enemies, and more. However, you will have to earn those tools and work hard to improve them. Whatever the number of players in your party, it’s about surviving and getting out.
Synduality Echo of Ada | PS5
Synduality Echo of Ada takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called The Tears of the New Moon wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the population. Amidst the calamity, humans are forced to build an underground haven to survive. Take on the role of a Drifter whose goal is to collect the rare resource known as AO Crystals. In your quest, you must collaborate with your artificial intelligence partner to face xenomorphic creatures known as Enders and survive the hazards on the surface. Rise from the underground to a surface world infested with hostile Enders, toxic rains, and other enemies, as you fight to loot for resources. Ride your Cradlecoffin, cooperate with your Magus, and stay alert around other players. One false move is all it takes to lose both your mecha and precious supplies, left to be scavenged by the remaining survivors.
Neon White | PS4, PS5
Neon White is a lightning fast first-person action game about exterminating demons in Heaven. You are White, an assassin handpicked from Hell to compete with other demon slayers for a chance to live permanently in Heaven. The other assassins seem familiar, though… did you know them in a past life? Collect Soul Cards to attack your foes or discard them to use unique movement abilities, and compete for the best times by cleverly combining cards to discover massive shortcuts.
All five of these games are available for the Essential tier of PS Plus for the entire month of December. You'll be able to add them to your game library until Monday, January 5, 2026.
These won't be the only free games we'll be getting this month, either. Sony should be announcing new games for the Extra and Premium tiers soon as well, giving you even more options to play during the holiday break and cold winter months. And if you're looking to add even more to your collection, Sony is currently running an End of Year sale through the PlayStation Store, offering savings of up to 75% on PS5 and PS4 games.
