PS Plus December 2025: Essential, Extra, Premium – New & Leaving Games

December is going to be a packed month for PlayStation subscribers and it’s going to be a real treat month with lots of exciting games onboard with holidays starting with Christmas vibes all over the World. This December, Sony PlayStation has added a lot of good games to its game library and more is coming in the upcoming days for PlayStation subscribers, from AAA titles, action-packed indie games, cozy family favorites, and long-awaited classics.

Recently, during the Black Friday Sale, PS Plus subscription was available at a good discounted rate and I believe a lot of people around the world must have availed it.

Sony PlayStation adds new games to its library every month under a rotating system, something fans eagerly wait for. However, along with new additions, some games are also removed from the library.

Every month Sony used to add only 3 games to Essentials, but surprisingly, this month Sony PlayStation added 5 games to Essentials Tier to start the month like “Killing Floor 3, LEGO Horizon Adventurers, The Outlast Trails etc. What more can PS Plus subscribers expect? Followed by 9 new games including Cat Quest III, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Paw Patrol: Grand Prix, Skate Story, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty & more, have been added in the Extra and Premium tiers also.

Unfortunately, in December Sony PS Plus subscribers will lose 10 games from their game library as Sony PS Plus is removing them as per the monthly routine structure they follow. So, PS Plus subscribers should finish them before they get disappear or later, they need to buy if they wish to play them further.

Enough talking!! Let’s see the list of games added in PS Plus game catalog for the month of December 2025. Pick your games and enjoy the Holidays in your “OWN VIRTUAL WORLD”.

Killing Floor 3 feels intense the moment you jump in. The gunplay is heavy, enemies are brutal, and teamwork actually matters if you want to survive.
