PlayStation Plus is ending 2024 with a bang, adding a meaty batch of compelling PS4 and PS5 games to its PS Plus Premium and Extra catalogs just before the holiday break. Of all the new games added, the most significant title included in the batch is Forspoken, a PS5-exclusive action RPG with roots going back to the first PlayStation Showcase for the PS5.
Forspoken was revealed in June 2020 under the codename Project Athia. When it finally did come out, Forspoken proved divisive because it had exhilarating magic-driven traversal and combat, but snarky dialogue that annoyed many players. Square Enix was ultimately disappointed by Forspoken‘s performance and disbanded the developer who worked on it. That said, I think this game is underrated and worth checking out for PS5 players now that they don’t have to go out of the way to purchase it themselves. Forspoken is technically a Christmas game too, which makes its December addition to PS Plus Extra’s game catalog perfect timing.
Forspoken isn’t the only notable game to hit PS Plus this month. Sonic Frontiers is also coming to this service. While I did not like this game at all, many others did. Ubisoft is also adding its enjoyable party game Rabbids: Party of Legends, while Toge Productions is bringing its Coffee Talk games and A Space for the Unbound to Sony’s subscription service. On the VR front, Premium subscribers can anticipate the addition of Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, a Star Wars first-person shooter that launched alongside the headset.
Here’s the full list of games coming to PS Plus Premium and Extra’s Game Catalog on December 17:
Be aware that some games will leave PS Plus Extra’s game catalog the same day these titles arrive. Notable games leaving PS Plus soon include Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, Judgment, and Mega Man 11.

Nintendo first teased the Talking Flower during a Nintendo Direct showcase last September. The company has now shared more details about the product, and confirmed when it will officially go on sale. Based on the flowers in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder game, the Talking Flower is exactly what its name suggests: a potted flower that speaks around twice per hour, delivering lines like "Sometimes it's nice to space out" or "Bowser and his buds can't get us here, right?"
