The weather is getting colder, which means two things: 1) It’s time for delicious food and 2) it’s time to hibernate with videogames. We’re here to help keep you gaming this winter with December’s free PlayStation Plus titles.
You can keep warm but stay social with Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, a fighting game that lets you finally figure out which DC heroes & villains would win in a fight, and Secret Ponchos, a wild west arcade-style duel where you’ll face off against friends or team up to take down other players.
Catch up on the Hitman series with Hitman HD Trilogy, which includes Hitman 2: Silent Assassins, Contracts and Blood Money, and experience the bizarre yet beloved Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut.
PS Vita owners get two Space Invaders-inspired games this month: Final Horizon and Titan Attacks. Fight off waves of space robots (they have spider tanks, gross) in tower defense title Final Horizon, or grab Titan Attacks!, which focuses on arcade-style gameplay but features some interesting elements that kick gameplay up a notch.
All of these games will be free for Plus members starting December 2nd. If you want to see these titles in action, check out the video below.

Great PS3 picks
Wow. Great line-up. Thanks for the update! :)
Very poor month for vita. Its a shame that being so powerfull it doesn´t get the attention it needs
I’ve been wanting to play Secret Ponchos. The month looks okay. I should be busy with travel and holidays to really not care about what PS+ brought me for Christmas.
Really? Vita gets crap again (at least I kind of like Steamworld Dig from November’s IGC). Seriously guys, it’s Christmas! I’m not asking for a AAA title, but Vita’s lineup is pretty bad compared to November one, tbh. I seriously should buy a 3DS. Anyway, I was kind of hoping at least some good games for Vita this December (something like Dragon’s Crown or Velocity game at least). :(((
I agree with 44 an 45
wheres our free version of driveclub ? holding it back to sell more retail cops . another shady sony scheme
I already own Injustice thanks to one awesome PS+ sale from a while ago, but other than that strong lineup. The PS3 selection is particularly good; the fact that you guys returned to retail games doesn’t go unnoticed. More of this and renewing my membership will be an easy call.
Already have ‘Hitman HD Trilogy’ and ‘Deadly Premonition’, but I’m definitely looking forward to downloading them.
My only concern is that the PS3 lineup is nothing but FPS games, I also don’t play fighters either, but AAA games is what the crowd wants.
They don’t cater to only me, so I can understand not everything is perfect.
*insert cools kids indie hate here*
Bought Injustice a couple of months ago when it went on a Flash Sale for like $8.50 and with this Plus offering it should breath new life into the game… Until Guilty Gear Xrd drops and Injustice gets deleted off my PS4.
Bright side is Secret Ponchos is finally launching!
People complaining about the vita games forgot that last month’s lineup had 5 vita games? And most of them were very good.
Uhm, sorry to point this out #60, but neither of the PS3 games are FPS titles.
To me video games are entertainment and I like to get good value for my money just like most. It costs $8-$10 for a movie ticket ($4-$5 an hour to be entertained), most cable bills exceed $2 a DAY, internet costs at least $1-$2 a DAY,, buy an episode of your favorite 22 min show for $3, any pro sporting event is gonna cost at least $20 an hour to attend yet we get ps+ for about .13-.20 CENTS a DAY. Of the 6 games that are on offer every month even if you only play one title for one hour then you got good value for your entertainment dollar.
I’ve complained in the past without playing a game but over the last couple of months I’ve tried games that I would not otherwise buy and have had fun playing them. Steamworld, Isaac, escape plan were all titles I would not waste my money on but to play and beat them on ps+ for pennies is the best.
You can’t make everyone happy but as a ps+ subscriber I find it to be a good value for my entertainment dollar.
Your service is horrible.
Anyone saying otherwise has probably been paid for such a false statement.
I for one will be letting Plus expire.
I would have been better off selling my last year renewal instead.
Good Bye Sony, Hello Xbox One.
#62
>Good games
>Indies
Are you crazy or what?
Do you really think i paid to get TWO SPACE INVADERS CLONES on my PLAYSTATION VITA?
Seriously i would undust my ATARI for that.
Noone even bothers to think that some of the members bought those games, and then they went free shortly after.
Worst yet, you guys can not even be routine in which titles join IGC and which ones do not.
If you NEED multiplayer and LOVE paying for a service that was once free…
Good for you.
But being happy about it,…
Give me a break.
Good line up. Already owned Injustice but been wanting to try Deadly Premonition and Hitman Trilogy for a long time now. Secret Ponchos sounds interesting.
@#63
So Hitman Trilogy isn’t FPS? And Deadly Premonition ?
Hmmm, so why are their guns invoved as the basis for gameplay?
To everyone threatening (every single month it seems) to let their PS Plus membership expire:
Please, please, please do. Because your constant whining and monthly empty threats are so tiresome.
@67
Games get sold that’s how the business works. How in the world can sony give a title on ps+ that no one owns unless it is a new release? Are you asking for sony to give away new unreleased titles on ps+? give me a break
Like 3rd person is much different.
But argue about it.
@71 And WHERE IN THE WORLD did you readke saying that?
“Noone even bothers to think that some of the members bought those games”
JustLu
Try learning to read, before you infer your obviously ignorant idea on what I think.
I don’t ever recall online multiplayer being free on ps4. Did they start charging for online multiplayer on ps3? Cause that’s the only platform it’s been free on. You are complaining about something that was never free on this generation of consoles.
This is how the lineups should be (just a lil improvement needed with PS Vita lineup) but otherwise virtually perfect. Can’t wait to see what comes next. :)
And you can state the obvious.
Your very smart.
Yo Steimer! Just wanna make sure, vita owners do not get Injustice, correct?
Yo! I’ve been told Titan Attacks! is the only Cross buy title, so that’s correct that Vita owners don’t get Injustice.
