December PlayStation Plus Game catalog drops are revealed

PlayStation is closing out the year with a hefty refresh to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, and this month’s update leans heavily into variety. Instead of anchoring the lineup around a single blockbuster, Sony has spread the spotlight across stealth action, souls-like combat, horror, platforming, and indie experimentatio; a rare mix that gives every type of player something to dig into.

The headliners this month are unmistakable: Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and Skate Story are now available for Extra and Premium subscribers. One brings classic AC stealth back to center stage, one tests your reflexes in brutal myth-inspired combat, and the last offers a dreamy, stylish take on skateboarding. Together, they form one of the more balanced trio drops Sony has issued in recent months.

But that’s just the top of the stack. Essential tier members also get a solid lineup of monthly games, including a new LEGO adventure, a co-op horror title, and one of the cleanest speed-FPS hybrids in years.

Here’s the full December lineup across all tiers:

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium

• Assassin’s Creed Mirage | PS5, PS4:
  A return to classic AC design; tight parkour routes, dense city infiltration, and a stealth-first approach set in a richly crafted 9th-century Baghdad. A compact, back-to-roots adventure built around precision and atmosphere.
• Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty | PS5, PS4:
  Team Ninja’s fast, punishing action-RPG where parry timing defines everything. Set in a dark reimagining of the Three Kingdoms era, Wo Long blends supernatural chaos with razor-sharp combat depth.
• Skate Story | PS5:
  A surreal skateboarding journey through dreamlike environments, where momentum, balance, and rhythm matter as much as exploration. Stylish, atmospheric, and unlike any traditional skate sim.
• Granblue Fantasy: Relink | PS5, PS4:
  A high-energy action RPG with fluid combat, massive boss encounters, and a full anime-style party system. Perfect for players who want flashy abilities and cooperative monster slaying in a polished JRPG world.
• Planet Coaster 2 | PS5:
  A deep theme-park builder where creativity is the main resource. Craft coasters, manage crowds, and design entire parks with a level of customization that makes every build feel personal.
• Cat Quest III | PS5, PS4:
  A lighthearted action-RPG adventure full of cat puns, colorful islands, and fast-paced hack-and-slash gameplay. Easy to pick up, charming to explore, and great for short sessions.
• Lego Horizon Adventures | PS5:
  A playful reinterpretation of Horizon’s world in full LEGO form; humorous storytelling, accessible combat, co-op fun, and a reimagined version of Aloy’s journey that trades intensity for creativity.
• Paw Patrol: Grand Prix | PS5, PS4:
  A kart racer designed for younger players, featuring simple controls, bright tracks, and characters from the Paw Patrol universe. Easy, cheerful, and perfect for family play.
• Paw Patrol World | PS5, PS4:
  An open-world family adventure where kids can explore, complete missions, and interact with their favorite pups. Gentle progression and cooperative-friendly gameplay.

PlayStation Plus Premium

• Soulcalibur III | PS5, PS4:
  A legendary weapon-based fighter returning through PS Plus. Still one of the series’ strongest entries thanks to deep character customization, tactical combat, and iconic duel-focused storytelling.

PlayStation’s final drop of the year isn’t trying to shock with a single headline game — it’s building a catalog that actually feels alive. This month’s update blends prestige releases with comfort-food indies, family titles with hardcore action, and bright experimentation with proven franchises. It’s the kind of lineup that turns PS Plus from a subscription into a December tradition: scroll, download, try something new, repeat.

And with 2026 right around the corner, Sony is clearly setting the stage for a more unpredictable and more varied year of monthly additions. If this mix is a preview of what’s coming, the Game Catalog might be entering one of its strongest periods yet.
