  • Garbage

  • Stories haha thats awesome,I can’t buy and support some great games at launch that I want because of ma backlog but that pays off cuz I always end up getting most of them for free.Feel bad for not supporting the devs but of course happy for getting them games for free.Not an amazing month cuz Invisible sucks but whatever Stories makes up for it.Can’t say much about PS3 and Vita lineup since I know the games by their names but not their gameplay so will have to see but Stories alone makes december a great lineup.

    And as always lol at y’all whiners.Learn how to enjoy and appreciate games then come here comment after.

  • I’ve grown tired of voicing my disgust of the PS Plus monthly, so called free games. I will say this, NOT all subcribers of PS Plus are functional autistic children, stop catering your so called free games to such!

  • Thank you Sony, all in all a very beautiful month.

    I am very excited about the PS4 and the PS Vita games, but I will also be trying out the PS3 ones.

    There is no need to worry about the haters out there, haters will be haters, and no matter what you give them, they will always find something to complain about.

  • Not bad sony…not bad

  • In my opinion, Sony is adding mostly bad games each month and all of them are $19.99 or less. Here are my list of PlayStation 4 games that should be free with PlayStation Plus.

  • HAHA Kudos to PSN for the biggest tease on this page in free game history. As soon as the free games link loaded I saw UNCHARTED THIEFS END at the top of page and PS Plus: Free Games for December 2016 right below it.
    I thought hell yes! Then…Oh…..had to post my disappointment!
    :D

  • Really wish there were better game titles.. rubbish indie games..

    Reposting this.. thought this was awesome and well said.

    • Been waiting on Infamous Second Sun for a long while. Thought they would follow up with is since they released Last Light expansion. I know they released Dishonored for PS3’s PS+ a while back but I want to play it on PS4 as well.

  • This is what you give us for the holiday period? Seriously :/

    • Not everything is going to be a triple A, this is to give you games that are quality and you probably never heard of. Only one I heard of before annoucement was VVVVVVV

  • WHAT IS WITH THESE BULLS@!T GAMES.
    £39.99 for games that is not worth my HDD space.
    PS you need to improve this drastically!!!!
    I’m sure XBOX gold members has better titles than us by far.
    look this is what they had so far…..
    Murdered: Soul Suspect, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition & and this is due on the 16th – Outlast.
    and what do we get……. Invisible, Inc., Stories: Path of Destinies WTF!!!!

    • You know Azzie_G83 people like you would stop b****ing about the FREE !!!!!!!!! games your getting then the true ps+ members might actually get some good games. So either deal with it or f**k off and get Xbox gold and a diaper because your acting like a baby.

    • Note: Sony gave PS+ members received Sleeping Dogs back (PS3) back in May 2013. Outlast on PS+ (PS4) Feb 2014.

    • NOT FREE AND REQUIRED FOR ONLINE.

      HEY SONY, GIVE US ONE GOOD AAA GAME FOR CHRISTMAS…DON’T BE A JERK! LOL

  • You know i have been waiting for the free games to be released so i got on to this website to find out what the free games are and i saw all the the comments. For all of those who gave a positive about the ps plus free game titles congratulations im proud to be a ps plus member. Im also willing to look past the fact if the game is an indi game or not i mean sony did release resident evil from the ps 1. If every one got there way then it would be chaos and i would prefer to go with the flow and get excited to see some of the free games comeing out every month And if every one keeps b****ing about the free games that are being released all ps plus members are going to lose the privilege of geting free games every month and as a $50 a year member that i have been for 3 – 4 years i don’t want to lose that. So the next time i get on to this website and i see more b****ing about what pretains to every ps+ member think about your kid if you have any or kids in general. your all acting like kids and when one child gets punished Everyone gets punished.so to end this comment i bid you a due.

    • PS. Anyone posting bad comments before and after my comment needs to think twice about what they put down because i hope it will bite you in the ass later on.

  • Every month there’s a flux of the same damn rants. Listen, yes it’s expensive for a service, yes the games are going to be hit or miss for a lot. If you search around online you’ll find a deal. I got my PS+ for $30-$40 consistently. The games tend to be an afterthought most times but I usually find a handful of games a year that warrant and exceed the cost of the PS+ sub. Not to say I’m not frustrated by it, I would love to have them throw in a free week of PSnow or Vue each month for PS+ members or like free weekends for PS+ members.

  • The point of the playstation plus free games is to give you games you normally wouldnt buy. Stuff like Furi and Resident Evil are games I wouldnt buy, but, I gave them a try and I loved them. Furi i only got as far as the second boss as im bad at bullet hells. Gat out of hell is a game I would never play, but I tried it and I beat the game in a night with a friend, the proceeded to try and 100% it.

    Besides, if you truely dont like the games, then you dont need them. Also, stop making rumors. They ruin it as everyones expectations are up and then they usually shatter as there wrong.

    Oh and the reason Xbox has “better” games with gold is theres is to give the majority of gamers who use it games they like. So those 13 year old can get games that their parents wont but them. Sure triple a titles are great and all, but, these are games i get to try for a trimonthly fee, that usually cost more than the service, that I normally wouldnt buy, and i get to try something new.

    • If you wanna complain fine, I cant stop you, but, if you want to say these games are bad because metacritic said so or since there not what the rumors said then I say this: If you can’t accept that life doesn’t always go your way, that life sometimes is kind and sometimes is horrid, if you can’t accept this, God help you in the real world.

    • Lol. You realize you are complaining too.

      And come on. The reason for PS Plus is to make money. Period. And they’ll do whatever is needed to make it worth it. I like indie game. But I also like AAA. However, Sony just sees $$.

      HEY SONY, GIVE US GOOD AAA GAMES FOR CHRISTMAS…DON’T BE A JERK! LOL

    • I am complaining, but least im not a 10 year old child ranting about how PS+ is being unfair and how were not getting games there parents wont buy them

  • Fans of THUMPER, try out Hyper Void.

  • Ps3 plus era games: Little big planet 2, Spyro, Infamous 2, Demon Souls, SoulCalibur, Deus Ex, BF 3, Borderlands 2, Metro last light, Street Fighter x Tekken, Tomb Raider.

    Ps4 plus era games: Outlast, Infamous: First Light, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Saints Row Gat Outta Hell, Resident Evil.

    The problem is the ps3 we were rewarded for having plus, it didn’t benefit us other than the free games we got and most of em were great. Fast forward to 2013-2016 for the ps4 and we’re forced to use it, have very little amount of actual AAA titles and the occasional free in game stuff for games. We’re not asking for Skyrim or whatever the newest release is, but stuff like Fallout 4, GTA 5, etc, just games that are a few years old that you can buy in the stores for under 30 bucks. Most of us that want to play indie titles can easily go on our phones/tablets/computers (steam) and play them there, i’m not saying all indie’s are bad there are indie titles that I do like on the console that are too heavy for a good phone/tablet platform but most of the stuff we’re given is found on the mobile app stores for under 10 bucks. Let’s hope 2017 is a better year for plus, somehow I doubt it will be but one can only hope.

  • Is this where I go to complain about how sad and pathetic my life is and mask it all behind the fact that I spent $60 for an annual subscription and didn’t get every game I ever wanted from PS Plus? If you’re that dirt poor, maybe you shouldn’t have a PS4. If you’re that rich that it offends you, then just go buy the game you want instead. God, suck it up, millennial scum. Life is gonna beat you down for the rest of your miserable lives, you might as well play some “virtually free” indie games while you’re at it. $60 a year for what they offer is $5 measly dollars a month. That’s nothing. It’s the cost of one major title new release. Find one game that you can play on any of these systems each month on average, and you’ve made your money back. If you sold your PS3, then who’s fault is that but your own. Even in the worst months of PS Plus offerings I just download the one that seems the least boring and give it a shot. Maybe if you tried some of these games, you’d be surprised at how fun they can be while killing a weekend day or two.

  • I know that these games are free and I’m grateful for that but #1 it’s Christmas and I was thinking maybe we’d be getting a AAA game maybe like wolfenstein or an old triple A game remastered and #2 these top down strategy games aren’t everyone’s play style so can you mix it up a bit once in a while because I feel like we’ve been getting a lot of arcade style games like this, the last game I really liked that was free was outlast which was from forever ago and #3 were three years into the PS4 so I’m sure that there’s plenty old games to give away, even evolve which is going free to play soon.

    • No man, speak up! Let em know how you feel. AND THEY ARE NOT FREE. We pay a monthly subscription for something that should be free. The games are a part of that. Sony can afford better games but they can undercut indie devs by saying “you’ll get tons of exposure” then Sony pockets the rest. And youre right. It us Christmas!

  • When are these games available for download?

  • US not getting good Bearnard theme?

  • I’m past the point of complaining about the free games. Sure they’re indie but a lot of them are good.
    Sony said, back in the day, one free AAA title per month. They don’t keep their promise so be it. I mean we see how well not keeping promises worked for No Mans Sky. Keep it up Sony.
    However my issue is with paying into digital games and when they don’t work Sony don’t refund they just say no refunds. I’ve got 4 games in the last 2 months that give errors and won’t even load up. Sony refunded for one, which I repurchased and issue fixed. They won’t however refund for the other 3 so I’ve literally ****ed money away on games that simply don’t work. Sonys ethics have gone down the drain. And yes I’ve factory reset PS4, redownloaded licenses and games to no avail. I now tell all my friends and gamer buddy’s not to buy digital as Sony will just rob them if content don’t work.

  • When will these be available? Its already the 5th and they arent? Also ive never heard of any of them but will probably give them all a shot. Now that I have a PS4 Pro, PS3, Vita and PSP the plus membership is more worth it.

    • Nevermind on the availability thing, I just saw another comment that states they are always released the first tuesday of the month.

  • It’s the 5th of December and the games still aren’t on the ps store (for me) does anyone know when they’ll be on or if there is something wrong with my PlayStation

  • Disappointing.

  • I know I’m probably to late to talk to you ps plus free December games haters but i make this post anyway

    STOP HATING ON THE PS PLUS GAMES BECAUSE THEY ARE INDIE GAMES AND NOT AAA GAMES!!!!!!!!

    Just because games are not mass marketed doesn’t mean they suck. Psychonauts, Okami, Grim Fandango, etc are great games that you idiots probably won’t try out because they are not triple A releases. there called hidden gems for a reason, because there great games that are not appreciated because they are indie games. Thats why these games are in the free line up, because they need this kind of promotion to help it’s sales and the company making (This could be considered the same thing but what the heck who cares.) Have any of you haters actually played these games? And on a side note, the xbox live line up sucks. ( except for sleeping dog, sleeping dogs is bae.)

    That is my opinion, every one is entitled to one and it may be different than mine (thats the glory of the internet.0 but that does not mean that people should try to stop other people like because that one group of people don’t like it. Peace

    • Nice sentiment. I would agree totally, except that they us us cheap crap every time!

    • Thanks man! I think the titles have been underwhelming as of late, but I love your defense. There are definitely some great indie games and I’m happy they get the spotlight!

      I hate when people blindly support Sony. Say things like, Sony can’t afford to give away good games. Lol. Sony is one of the biggest corporations in the world! They can afford it. And it is Christmas lol.

      But don’t kid yourself. They release indies for free so they can undercut the developers and save money by saying, “look at all the exposure your game and studio will get.”

  • oh yeah and do not refer to metacritic if you want to bash games. USE YOUR OWN OPINION

  • I really hope this is a joke. I’ve been disappointed for the last 4 months and this is the worst line up since then. Nice christmas presents *NOT!

  • Both of the PS4 games are wack, and they’re both out on Steam so I can technically get them for “free.”

    I am so sick of indie games being free on PSN. It’s December, and they raised the price for PSPlus, you’d think they’d be putting out some better games for us.

  • I cannot believe they’re giving us a game like this. This might not be bad if PS PLUS were optional, but you must own it to play online games you have purchased. It’s like they are not selling games, it seems that they are renting them to you. You can’t play ps3 or ps2 games on ps4, you must buy them again. You cannot play them on other platforms, you can’t do anything.
    This is one of the reasons why I will not renew it next year and why I bought a gamer PC. You do not have to pay anything and the games are much cheaper.

  • more no good games. idk how anyone defends this garbage any more; the last game I got excited about was RE. unfortunately i had already bought it.

  • POS games has always sony just POS games. i would have a 60 dollar game each month instead of these POS we the people WANT TO CHOOSE our games not fling you own **** from you inide game vault that no one gives a flying **** about. if PS4 did not make you pay for online (your *** holes for going xbox route BTW SONY!!) i would not have plus any longer. also the only reason i’m keeping it is for the cloud saves. and for online play for PS4.

    you guys just S*CK now.

  • Quit the whinning people. If you had a store that gave free games away. Would you give top rated software away in your 2 biggest selling months of the year? In short, No its not good business.. N as for trip A games that rating is for the big hitters like ff or resi games n they ain’t likely to give a cash cow away either. Your gonna get Indies regularly and an ex trip A game when its season is over or if it hit platinum.. Wanting more will just leave you wanting

    • SONY 17.7 – BILLION NETWORK

      Fine if you like the games, please, defend the games.

      But you guys have to stop defending billion dollar corporations.

    • If you work for sony you clearly shouldn’t be posting here, people want to express their outrage, let them.

  • Tiny Troopers Joint Ops for PS4 even that appears in PS Plus list, it showed me to that I have to buy it. Everybody has the same?

  • *Puke* I should have bought XBone

  • Not games I would have bought but will give them a chance. Why do people expect better games after a price increase? If electricity or feul goes up in price do you also expect to get more ? That’s how bussiness works , prices will always change . People need to be paid by Sony as well and how would you feel if your salary never went up

    • Lol. Why do you think the price increase raised everyone at Sony’s salary? Do has station attendants get raises when gas prices go up? Lol…

      SONY – 17.7 BILLION NETWORK

      Way to white knight for the little guy lol. Defend corporations, they need it. not cosumers.

  • Does anyone else remember when they use to put out games like bioshock infinite… or batman arkham city? How about the tomb raider reboot… I’ve been pretty disappointed with the lineups recently.. hopefully they will improve ..

  • i won’t be renewing my ps plus.
    for the abuse of having to pay to access my own INTERNET, i expect to be enumerated with something more than low grade crap titles like amnesia: memories or code realize, some might like Anime slide show fiction but i hardly call it gaming
    with the increasing rare good title like resident evil or bro-force, i expect a far better quality in the Xmas selection than indie, xbox managed it, this year and last
    since Sony became top dog, its service has went through the floor.
    its offers are insulting for a forced fee based service, they wont tell anyone what will be available until the months up and are increasing well into the month before they are available…
    return to the ps3 model of non fee based access to INTERNET and a ps plus based on good service.
    or this cooperate abusive model including mid console cycle renewals (ps4 pro) will send loyal customer fleeing to the Nintendo switch and PC.
    the same way pc users like myself , originally fled the pc market to consoles when drm madness consumed pc gaming..

  • does anyone know what time the games will be avilable, today? I read that they’d be out as early as 8 AM or 11 AM, and when I went to check, they’re still not available. it’s still the games from LAST month

  • Are they available to download yet?

  • Should have got an Xbox one :( xbox got better to compete with sony. Sony got worse. Right when Sony was winning the console war, they drop the ball. Sad

  • It’s Christmas Sony! These should have been your best! :( shame

  • Sony ruined my Christmas with crappy games… make it snow Sony! Please, make it snow! :'(

  • HEY SONY, GIVE US GOOD AAA GAMES FOR CHRISTMAS…DON’T BE A JERK! LOL

  • Stop complaining about the games and just unsubscribe if you don’t like it. If you are subbed just for online don’t pay attention to it. Cry babies on here all wanting different games. I already have invisible inc don’t see me on here whining about the games. How can they possibly give us AAA games all the time? In a few months all the older ps4 games would be all given out.

  • So… When is Sony going to give us a good game which people ACTUALLY want to play? Like Rocket League, people enjoyed that, give us a game like that again!

  • So this month… well this month is probably the most lacklustre I have seen so far, both games on PS3 have an average score… it’s isn’t just me who thinks they’re average, metacritic does and they’re always massively generous. Both are dirt cheap anyway and one of them is a free mobile game… I’m fairly sure the idea was that with the 2 games for each platform there is supposed to be 1 AAA title, and an indie game so if you don’t like the indie game fair enough, you still get a larger title. But honestly I’m mostly disappointed with the year I’ve been on this, and disappointed isn’t what I wanna feel.

  • I don’t think I’ll be buying PS Plus again due to the lack of good free games that we deserve along with the crappy servers that don’t work half the time when I’m playing online. NOT worth 25 dollars. Guess I’ll be switching to PC now.

  • This lineup does kinda suck. I would gladly take only one game on each platform per month if it meant getting better games. Some indies can be fun, but Iv’e stopped adding them to my library because all they are are games I will never play taking up room there. If I’m interested in an indie game, I’ll go purchase it myself. I don’t usually complain, but for December they could have given at least one good AAA title.

  • I tried all of them and they all suck as expected. Needed only 3 hours to figure that, 3 hours and i can wait for another 30 days to find out the next month Will be another disappointment

  • Can we please get better games? We get a price increase in the serves but were still getting these ok games but now what was promised by Sony. More big AAA titles like Xbox Live!!
