PlayStation Plus subscribers can expect the announcement of the first lot of free games for December anytime soon. However, as new games join the online service, several games also leave the library every month. Even if you have an active PS Plus subscription, you won't be able to access these games for free any more, and may have to purchase the games if you wish to play them.


So, without further ado, here are the list of games that will leave PS Plus library of free games in December.


Games Leaving PS Plus in December


A total of 19 games are set to leave the PlayStation Plus library in December. Here’s the full list, categorized by their respective tiers:


Essential (Leaving December 2):



  • Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged

  • Ghostwire Tokyo

  • Death Note: Killer Within


Extra (Leaving December 17):



  • Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Upcoming Game Reveals and Key Dates


The PS Plus December 2024 Essential games lineup will be revealed on November 27 and become available starting December 3. Subscribers can look forward to the Extra and Premium announcements on December 11, with those games slated to go live on December 17.


If you haven’t already, don’t forget to claim November’s Essential games — Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, Ghostwire Tokyo, and Death Note: Killer Within — before they disappear. Adding them to your library now ensures you can access them later.


What’s Next for PlayStation Fans


Beyond December, PlayStation fans have much to look forward to. Path of Exile 2 launches early next year, and more Xbox exclusives, including Indiana Jones, are slated to arrive on PS5 in 2025. There’s also hope that Stalker 2 will make its way to PlayStation once its Xbox exclusivity ends.
