PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for December 2024 Confirmed

Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus monthly games for December 2024, and revealed some bonus extras to coincide with the wider PlayStation 30th anniversary celebrations.

In a PlayStation Blog post, Sony said It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem all launch December 3 for PlayStation Plus members and are available until January 6.

It Takes Two is Hazelight Studios’ co-op platform adventure, and its release into PS Plus is well-timed given the developer has teased the announcement of its next game. IGN’s It Takes Two review returned a 9/10. We said: “It Takes Two is a beautiful, breakneck-paced, co-op adventure that’s bubbling over with creativity.”

Aliens: Dark Descent is Tindalos Interactive’s real-time tactics game set in the Alien universe. IGN’s Aliens: Dark Descent review called it “a fascinating, tense, inspired survival horror RTS with a few too many technical bugs to recommend it without caveats.”

And finally, Temtem is Crema’s creature-collecting MMORPG inspired by the Pokémon series. IGN’s Temtem review called it “a bold but incomplete MMO that has some great ideas for improving upon the monster-catching genre.”

PlayStation Plus monthly games for December 2024:

• It Takes Two | PS4, PS5
• Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5
• Temtem | PS5

PlayStation Plus members have until December 2 to add Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Death Note Killer Within to their game libraries.

Meanwhile, Sony’s PlayStation 30th Anniversary celebrations give PlayStation Plus Premium members a game trial of Saber Interactive’s third-person melee / shooter Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 from December 3.

Sony also confirmed three PlayStation classic titles joining PlayStation Plus Premium’s lineup in December. From December 10, members get Sucker Punch's Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and also Naughty Dog’s PS2 adventure Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Expect more news on the full PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Premium lineups later, Sony said.

And finally, there’s a free online multiplayer weekend set for December 6-8. During those days, you can enjoy online multiplayer for games you own without having a PlayStation Plus membership on PS5 and PS4.
