  • XB here I come!!

  • By god. So much of this visceral hatred comes from nowhere. Yes ps plus is expensive and yes the xbone gets games that you would like every month, but you have to realize that Triple A First Party games aren’t as many in number as microsoft’s xbone. There is a difference between “exlusive” and first party. The ps plus games are good, just not what you like. I dont care for any of the annually released games. And to think these games would be offered as free on PSN is ridiculous. Sony is not a billion dollar companu. You have to consider that Sony is also responsible for other industries of business. the “millions of dollars” is easily lost just to maintaining the quality of services alone. Ps Plus was originally just discounts. $80 a year to get 20%-40% off good games is a good deal. The free games every month was just a bonus to the $80 l spent a year. If every single one of these games were even $20 each, and lets limit it to the 2 that the ps4 get, that’s $400 worth of games. What idiot would complain about that? I’d easily pay $80 a year just to play games with my friends.

    • Other areas? First party? Are you joking?? Microsoft is just not skimping there backwards compat games are better sleeping dogs is AWESOME. 400 DOLLARS OF TURD SANDWICH AND D***** IS STILL A TURD SANDWICH AND A D*****

  • I can’t download the games, in the ps store is only available the november line up games

  • I just purchased a PS4 this week. I’m trying to download the free games for December but it says they aren’t free and I have a PSN+ account. What am I missing? Thanks so much for your help and time!

    • Whoops, never mind. I just saw someone say they won’t be up until the first Tuesday of the month!

    • But don’t forget that you can still download the free games for November, if you haven’t already done so.

    • Yep, get this month’s games before next week. Deadly Tower of Monsters was a hoot and I really enjoyed Letter Quest as well. Everyone’s Gone to the Rapture isn’t for everyone but I enjoyed it, being a point and click fan from years back. It’s more about the story and exploration, like Myst/Riven without the puzzles.

  • A lump of coal and an orange just what I wanted for xmas thanks Sony

  • I subscribe to PS+ just for the games as I don’t play online. I just looked at a Reddit posting of 2016 PS+ games and it confirmed what I had thought, there is no longer much value in the subscription (at least for me). The list price of the 2016 PS+ games is a big number at $1,150, but if they aren’t actually games that people want to play, then it doesn’t matter. I discovered that I paid $50 for the year just to play Grim Fandango. Bummer. Back in the PS3 days, PS+ was great. Ever since the PS4 came out there have been few compelling games that appeal to a broad audience. Maybe since Sony is “winning” this generation they no longer feel like they need to compete and offer compelling value with this service. I guess they don’t care if people like me don’t subscribe in the future. Hopefully 2017 will be much better.

  • Thanks Sony. I was worried I’d have to buy a PS+ subscription among all the other things this Xmas. I’m not worried now.

  • Today’s 2016 awards sale is just as bad… priceier than the sales this weekend and no ps+ discounts on them.. way to use our money

  • Almost every month it’s some stupid indie bs that most people don’t gaf about. Way to be a pos sony!

  • seriously? price increases 10$ and you gave us this? don’t kidding…

  • Many idiots here saying to stop complaining about “Free games”…..when will these idiots understand that they are NOT free!
    Sony setup an artificial barrier to stop you from playing multiplayer games otherwise you are already paying your ISP to be able to play multiplayer games.

  • Agree. I only subscribed because of some of the exclusive discounts otherwise the so called “free games” are total garbage. I am getting a gaming next year and will not be renewing my subs.

  • I meant gaming PC

  • Every person on this site: (looks at new PS Plus Lineup)…. Triggered!!!!

  • To all of you that complain about Sony’s promise of 1 AAA title a month during the PS3 time, it was DURING THE PS3 TIME.
    They did not have PS4 to release games for. The value of the entire monthly game package has not gone down.

    Every month, the game offering is worth well over $100. Where do you get the audacity and entitlement to ***** and moan about all that when you’re paying $5 a month.

    I subscribe to PS+ a year at a time, which is now $60, and all that is already paid back to me in full and then some, in the first month of said subscription.

    If you feel that paying $5 a month entitles you to a $60 game (which most people that care for said game, already own anyway), then please do us all a favor and find yourself another service; we don’t need or want you here.

  • Pretty weak.

  • That’s it. I own both an Xbox one and a ps4. I got the 4 at release xbox one last year’s black Friday. I usually play all multiplat on ps4 but this will b3 officially changing.. the backwards compat games on games with gold blow ps plus out of water. Do you know how many ps plus games I’ve even played for more then 10 min???? Not many and have all since launch. Now you raise price probably because of your investment in vr which is tanking.. sorry Sony you lost a longtime plus memb3r and hardcore games buyer.. can’t wait for scorpio.. oh and ea acess rules to!!

  • Great, more crappy games. I’m sorry to agree with other users, but Xbox users do get better games every month. I mean, what the hell with stories? it totally looks like crap. And the other one, turn based, TURN BASED!? in this day and age? even the new FF ditched the turn based gameplay because it’s boring as hell. give us something good, please, you guys at SONY just increased the price of the ps plus subscription this year and you are giving away CRAP.

  • Meh. Maybe I’ll pick a Scorpio up next year and kill my psn account because Microsoft’s GWG has been making PS Plus look like hot garbage for months now.

  • Guys vote this
    It said plus members vote to free games and sony pick the popular.

  • Looks nice. There’s a problem though. It doesn’t show up on PSN for me. I live in Sweden. When will this be fixed?

  • The only one of these I’ve heard of is VVVVVV and that’s a $5 game that came out 7 years ago being released on a dead platform.

  • Ok yeah, Invisible Inc, definitely a good title to give this spotlight, I am hoping though we see more quality next year, I can imagine it is hard to get ps plus titles that are major, popular and not bought by most people, so that the majority are pleased, this month is the first in a while I got something I know I want to try. They made Don’t Starve I believe so worth a look, I’d like to see some really old AAA titles I haven’t played yet hit ps plus. Knack being one of those, because I am not too sure if I’d play it, but if it was on ps plus I’d give it a go, this is what I use ps plus for, to try games I’d never buy. May have to get a vita soon, the full array would be open to me then!

  • MORE crap games! i love my PS4 but why the hell cant we get the quality free games that xbox offers, another bad month once again!

  • I don’t own a ps4 to play games like these. I get that these are ‘free’ and ppl enjoy indie games but Sony should include one game per month that actually makes good use of the ps4 engine

    • Totally agree. The PS4 has been out long enough now, the game lineup is pretty big. Sony should have no excuse for giving us indie games every month.

  • honestly these monthly games are terrible, indie after indie game no one asks for and while Microsoft give out AAA games with their games with gold. whoever decides these monthly games at PlayStation need removed from their position. I’ve had ps4 since day one and the only decent games they have give us free so far are outlast, rocket league and NBA.

    • you would think it being December they would at least give us a AAA launch game like killzone shadow fall or assassins creed 4 black flag, but nope we get crappy indie games again that most people probably wont even download.

  • does anyone know when these new games will be available for free? I’ve been looking through the PS+ section, and it still has the games from last month

  • I don’t get it. Both ps4 titles are VERY well received. Just because something isn’t AAA doesn’t make it a bad game. In my opinion most indie titles are better than the hum-drum same as last year’s cookie cutter AAA games. If it’s something you yourself have already bought, great, now more people that otherwise might not have had the money get to experience that game too. Don’t like the games? I’m sure somebody out of the close to 50 million ps4 owners will. Nobody here is entitled to get whatever game they see fit for free at the drop of a hat. You’re not paying a sub for free games, that’s an added bonus. You’re literally paying for everything else. Multi-player, cloud storage for saves, member discounts ( which have personally saved me hundreds of dollars ), etc. As many plus subs as there are, there is literally no way of pleasing everyone. That’s just an undeniable truth.

  • Your PS plus membership would literally pay for itself multiple times over just from the discounts in that one week of black friday sales, not even getting into the 50 other sales a year they do. You kids are spoiled and entitled as all hell and you need to just get a damn job. C’mon. You can afford these sale prices even on a burger flippers pay.

  • I’m starting to regret selling my PlayStation 3 as playstation 3 seem to be getting a greater free games on PS plus as PlayStation 4 seem to be getting mediocre triple A games or indie games I feel Sony needs to step up a
    There game to compete with Xbox One lately

  • Already have Hypervoid on PS4, will be interesting to see if there’s any differences in the PS3 version. If I don’t like any of the other games, then I still have Rebel Galaxy and Galak-Z, both of which I think are STELLAR (no pun intended) games. Very entertaining and perfectly suited to very short attention spans, such as mine and oh hey look! A Squirrel!

  • i don’t get it.xbox live users get full free games like rise of tomb raider and sleeping dogs.triple aaa games.cmon sony these arcade games are cool but stop being cheap i want start seeing triple aaa games for ps plus

  • i just bought a PS4, and was thinking of getting PS plus, but after seeing this I’ll pass.

  • Well, i cant say all those games are a piece of crap like some or many said, but i am unsatisfied with the free games a long time ago. The last “good” one was Resident Evil remaster for PS4 in my opinion. I only have a Plus subscription because of the treats and i dont play online at all. And i wont say the “other” console is better or best compared to Playstation because it isnt and so, each one knows whats best for him/herself. On the other side i leave my thinking to Sony try at least get some of the future freebies a little more interesting as the service here in North America is more expensive than other countries (so far as i know). So thats it.

    • i don’t get it.xbox live users get full free games like rise of tomb raider and sleeping dogs.triple aaa games.cmon sony these arcade games are cool but stop being cheap i want start seeing triple aaa games for ps plus

  • We need to stop this.I understand you can’t give use 2 AAA games a month but at least one.One.A decent one.I’d rather have one good AAA game a month than 3 ****** indie games. We need to unite because we are not getting our money’s worth.XBOX are getting such great games and we? I regret not getting a PC even more now.

  • It would be great if I actually had time to play this stuff.

    Again, it might be an underwhelming lineup, but the fact is I’ve got so many games from years of having PS Plus that I haven’t even STARTED yet, it’s not a big deal to me.

  • I get it.some people hate indies (which is basically all they ever give) some people like them. The problem I have is the disgusting Sony fan boy cheerleaders. Stop trying to convince people that they are getting a great value and that indies are so much funner or more creative then aaa games.. If fellow playstation users thought this they wouldn’t be complaining in the first place. Cheerleading fan boys make me sick. AAA cookie cutter games as you call them sell the most so obviously more people enjoy them and would like them on plus (like they used to do, like MS does now) Only way to make Sony change their minds at this point is to hit them in the wallet with ps plus subs, heck even not supporting Vue.

    • very true but why wont sony do it right like mircosoft does. for example sleeping dogs and rise of tomb raider tripe aaa games on xbox one free one month

  • Good show, Although i will be occupied with FF XV for a very long time, i really wanted to play these games so backlog they will go for sure.

  • Decent lineup this month compared to last month. Love turn based strategy games so Invisible looks good to me.

  • Dude these games are NOT what I expected to see in December. Did PlayStation think they were going to woo more people to sign up with ps+ with this sucky lineup? Lol. I’m getting tired of ps+ it’s not what it used to be. I don’t even look forward to see what the free games are anymore. Most people who have ps+ are gamers so you might as well give us a few titles that stand out. I need to take their marketing jobs and give them to people who understands….well….people. Lol

  • Before you read my comment. Look at things my way. I am the type of person that can not afford AAA games. I can barely afford PS+ month to month. Still I am a gamer and my only 2 games I own is Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls Online. So when I say I am upset that none of the games dropped this year was any good. Please understand none have been my type of games. I love RPGs and some MMOs. So with this all said. I was really hoping that the PS+ games would of been better for the PS4.

    • Then you should be doing something else with your life than struggling to be paying for a PS+ account than baby raging about not getting the types of free games you want because you’re poor.

  • I love all these comments about AAA games.

    Some people don’t like them either ( Like me )
    Having AAA games isn’t the solution either. I prefer to discover new indie companie through my PS+ subscription than to get this triple A game everyone is talking about. At least that way I don’t know the whole story before owning the game!

    The only thing I would like is eventually some VR compatible games. It would be nice for those who bought the VR product early! But it’s only a suggestion.

    Thanks for another monthly free games!

  • Not that I’m hating on the indie games or anything released, some of them can be pretty fun that ps plus have given away…..just expected a bit more from ps in December especially with resident evil HD and the likes being released prior to December……MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE here’s another ps vita cross platform scroller for ps4

  • So much baby Raging from little kids who are expecting games like Battlefield 1 or some crap like that LMAO. It’s hilarious to come in here month after month and read the whining and complaining. Either shut up and don’t download it or buy a CrapBoxOne

  • I don’t know why all you are complaining about the games. Unless you bought them before, there isn’t much to complain about. Like people have mentioned, indie games are there for a reason. Almost every company started with indie games.

    The reason I get these games is cause I don’t get the chance to buy decent games every month. The last actual games I bought was in February and they were Kingdom Hearts I.5 and II.5.

    While I would like better games too, I am still going to try out the games they do release. However one thing I do miss was the free PS1 games they offered with PS+. Anyone know why they stopped doing that?

  • I pay £40 a year for access to play online games across three devices. Vita, PS3 and PS4. Then Sony give away free games across all platforms for the price of one subscription…. Well done Sony. The games may not be what everyone wants each month, but I would choose to have free mediocre games than nothing!

    • People like you are the problem, YOU’RE not getting anything free, YOU’RE paying a yearly subscription for and I Quote; (MEDIOCRE GAMES) end quote. Would you pay a tv, magazine subscription for mediocre content? The fact is…many of us feel better monthly content is needed on PS+, and enough isn’t available for the paid subscription!

  • I’m really dispointed…

  • These look like games for your cell phone!!! (or at best NES). Figured would have given people something REALLY great being Christmas time! What a let down this month for PS4 users.

  • Again, a disappointing line up. I used to love the fact that PS+ gave its users better quality and bigger games than xbox. Now not only must you buy ps+ to play online, but you get cheap indie titles and very old games almost no one wants as the freebies. I have played on both consoles for years. Im starting to seriously consider going PC. May cost more to build but at least I can play online for free, plus there are mods and Steam sales.

    Pull it together Sony or I’ll be leaving you soon,

  • Why we all ways got to get some kid games they suck we never get nothing good NEVER we dont want to keep getting some boring kid games. This Ps Plus starting to make me mad. Spent all my money on this for nothing only thig good bout it is to play online free game side suck
