Unlike last month where it felt like we were waiting for an eternity to find out the monthly PS Plus games, Sony is getting ready to reveal the December line-up sooner rather than later.
Fresh off the back of the release of the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games, PS Plus Essential subscribers are about to be treated to a fresh batch of free PS4 and PS5 games. Speaking of free games, all PS4 and PS5 owners can play F1 24 for free this weekend, and just in time for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
If Sony sticks to the traditional schedule, then the company will reveal the December PS Plus Essential games on the afternoon of November 27. The titles will be available to download less than a week later, on the morning of December 3.
With Sony about to launch its Black Friday sale for 2024, there’s a slim chance it will announce the PS Plus Essential games early, or that the line-up will leak. Daily Express will keep this story updated with any leaks and announcements, so keep checking back for more information.
The PlayStation Black Friday sales begin on November 22, both in store and online.
This includes a 30% discount on 12 month PlayStation Plus Essential subscriptions for new members.
Likewise, existing PS Plus Essential subscribers can save 25% on the cost of upgrading to PlayStation Plus Extra, or 30% when upgrading to PS Plus Premium.
Sony explains more: “With PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe, get access to monthly games, exclusive discounts, online multiplayer, and hundreds of PS4 and PS5 titles through the Game Catalog and Classics Catalog, including hit titles like The Last of Us Part I, Grand Theft Auto V, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and many more.”
Individual games will be discounted as part of Sony’s Black Friday sale on the PlayStation Store.
According to a recent blog post, this includes discounts on games such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, EA FC 25, Star Wars Outlaws and Hogwarts Legacy.
As a reminder, Hogwarts Legacy is currently down to its cheapest ever price on Nintendo Switch, where it’s available for just £14.99. Expect something similar here.
Elsewhere, Sony will discount devices like the PSVR 2 headset and DualSense controllers at the PlayStation Direct store, as well as other retailers.
The PlayStation VR 2 headset will be available with a massive 40% discount. Expect it to cost between £300-400 depending on the bundle.
PS5 DualSense controllers will be reduced by upwards of 25%, meaning there’s never been a better time to invest in a spare.
Selected PlayStation branded merchandise will also be discounted, which might be worth checking out if you’re stuck for Christmas presents.
