PlayStation Plus Free Games December 2025

Editorial Team

Christmas is a month away, and looks like Sony put PlayStation Plus members on the “nice” list, because they will be giving out five freebies this round. Here is the PlayStation Plus free games December 2025 line up, which will be available for download on Tuesday, December 2.

First, for the PS5, there’s LEGO Horizon Adventures a LEGO-version spit-off the the Horizon series. The game retells the story of Horizon Zero Dawn, but with a typical LEGO family-friendly narrative, and include many of the original voice actors from the Horizon series.

Next, also for the PS5, there’s Synduality: Echo of Ada, a third-person shooter developed by Game Studio and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Set in a post-apocalyptic world following a poisonous rain which wiped out most of human life, mech-piloting survivors search for rare crystals which are necessary for humanity’s survival.

Also, for the PS5, there’s Killing Floor 3, the first-person survival horror shooter by Tripwire Interactive, and sequel to its 2016 predecessor. Featuring both solo and cooperative multiplayer with up to six players, waves of bioengineered monsters known as Zeds must be destroyed in a series of rounds.

For both the PS4 and PS5, there’s The Outlast Trials, a first-person psychological survival horror, which serves as a prequel to the 2013 Outlast. Select either single-player or up to four-player cooperative mode, players must evade enemies and traps while completing several different objectives.

Finally, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Neon White, a first-person shooter with puzzle and platforming elements, developed by Angel Matrix and published by Annapurna Interactive. First released in 2022, players play as sinners known as Neons, who cleans Heaven of its demons for the chance to stay.

All titles in the PlayStation Plus free games December 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.

Among then, LEGO Horizon Adventures is by far the easiest platinum. The game can be played on any difficulty mode, and other than having to do some grinding, the platinum can be obtained in roughly 15-20 hours.

Next, The Outlast Trials is about average in terms of difficulty, and will need a trophy guide to figure out the requirements for each trophy. The platinum can be unlocked after about 25-30 hours of gameplay.

Obtaining the platinum for Killing Floor 3 is not an easy task, and will depend highly on your skills, as well as the skills of your teammates, and some luck. Expect around 40-50 hours of gameplay for this platinum.

Perhaps the most difficult platinum in this list is for Neon White, particularly because the requirement for one trophy is to complete 97 levels on a single life. This means, reloading whenever you die. Expect around 45-55 hours of gameplay, depending on your skills.

Lastly, there does not seem to be much information regarding the difficulty, or time required, for unlocking the platinum for Synduality: Echo of Ada. However, it is been confirmed that there are online trophies, and requires a lot of farming.

PlayStation Plus Free Games November 2025

Editorial Team

Happy Halloween! And to celebrate the festivities, Sony has just announced their next batch of freebies for PlayStation Plus members, which in fact have very little to do with ghosts and goblins. But hey, free games are free games, right? And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games November 2025 line up which will be available for download on Tuesday, November 4.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Stray, the 2022 adventure game developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive. Players play as a tray cat who has tumbled into a walled city filled with robots and mutant bacteria. Players must elude the Zurks and Sentinels, while finding a way to return to the surface.

Also, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, a physics-based strategy game first released in 2021, developed by Landfall Games. In Campaign mode, players must use a limited amount of in-game money to create an army to crush the enemy force. In Sandbox mode, players have a limitless amount of money and can build both opposing armies.

Finally, for the PS5, there’s EA Sports WRC, a racing game licensed by the World Rally Championship. Featuring a selection of 78 rally cars and 10 group rally cars from the WRC, the game includes over 200 competition stages across 18 WRC rallies.

All three games in the PlayStation Plus free games November 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.

Among them, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is arguably the easiest platinum to obtain, and only requires around 8 hours of gameplay. Also, both the PS4 and PS5 have their own set of trophies, which means obtaining two separate platinum trophies. No auto-pop, however.

Next, unlocking the platinum for Stray is also below average in difficulty. The only trophy that seems to give some players trouble is the Can’t Cat-ch Me trophy, which requires both skill and luck. Overall however, getting the platinum should only take around 10-12 hours.

Finally, EA Sports WRC is average in terms of difficulty, though this entirely depends on your racing skills, and any experience you may have with the WRC series. Depending on your skills, this platinum could be unlocked in roughly 25 hours.

PlayStation Plus Free Games October 2025

Editorial Team

Another month, means another batch of freebies from Sony for PS Plus members. Once again, trophy hunters can rejoice, as we will have another nice selection of easy platinums to unlock. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games October 2025 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, October 7.

First, for the PS5, there’s Alan Wake 2, developed by Remedy Entertainment. Rather than an action adventure like it’s 2010 predecessor Alan Wake, the sequel Alan Wake 2 is a survival horror in which players play as both Alan who is found washed up on a shore after being trapped in an alternate dimension, and FBI agent Saga Anderson who finds him.

Next, also for the PS5, is Goat Simulator 3, a sequel to the non-too-serious title developed by Coffee Stain North. While still controlling the havoc-wreaking goat in third-person action, players can now customize their goat, and explore different gameplay styles including a story mode with quests, and a first-person shooter. The game also features a four-player coopeerative online multiplayer mode.

Lastly, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Cocoon, a puzzle adventure developed by Geometric Interactive. Players control a beetle which travels to different worlds and solving puzzles in a 3D environment, order to unlock the mysteries of the universe.

All three titles in the PlayStation Plus free games October 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.

Among them, Cocoon is both the easiest and quickest platinum to obtain. If choosing to follow an online guide to quickly solve the puzzles, the platinum can be unlocked in under 5 hours.

Next, Goat Simulator 3 is arguable the second easiest platinum of the three. While there is a lot to do in this game, an online guide will help make things easy and reduce your playtime to under 15 hours for the platinum.

Lastly, while Alan Wake II has arguably the more difficult platinum of the three, it is still below-average in terms of challenge, as all of its trophies can be unlocked in Story Mode. There are some missable trophies to watch out for. However, if following a guide, the platinum can be unlocked in around 25 hours with relative ease.   

PlayStation Plus Free Games September 2025

Editorial Team

For all the trophy hunters out there, you may have noticed that last month’s freebies had some pretty tough platinums to obtain. Sony is being much more lenient this month, at least for two out of the three games. And so, here is the PlayStation Plus free games September 2025 line-up, available for download on Tuesday, September 2.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Viewfinder, the puzzle game developed by Sad Owl Studios. Players try to map out a 2D image onto a 3D world, which will allow for access to a teleportation device that takes players to the next level.

Next, for the PS4, there’s Psychonauts 2, the platformer developed by Double Fine and published by Xbox Game Studios (yes, that’s right!). A sequel to the 2005 Psychonauts, players control Raz, a child from a family of circus acrobats and possesses psychic powers that allow him to enter the minds of others, and play through different 3D environments with the goal of resolving psychological issues.

Lastly, for the PS4, there is Stardew Valley, the 2016 farming simulator developed by ConcernedApe. Taking inspiration from Harvest Moon, the player-character inherits a farm from their deceased grandfather, and work by clearing the land, raising animals, and harvesting crops.

All titles in the PlayStation Plus free games September 2025 line-up have platinum trophies to unlock.

Among them, Viewfinder is both the easiest and quickest platinum to obtain. Following a video guide will make the puzzles relatively easy, and require only 5-6 hours of gameplay.

Next, Psychonauts 2 is a fairly easy platinum as well, though keep in mind that there are quite a few collectables to find. Expect roughly around 25 hours of gameplay for this one.

Lastly, while the majority of the trophies on Stardew Valley are quite easy, there is a single trophy which requires playing an arcade game without dying, which makes the overall platinum for this game quite difficult. In addition, you will need well over 100 hours of gameplay as well.

PlayStation Plus Free Games August 2025

Editorial Team

Still too hot out there to play outside? Need an excuse to stay indoors? Well, Sony has one for you: Free games! Keep in mind, however, that August does not seem to be the month of easy platinums. Without further ado, here is the PlayStation Plus free games August 2025 line-up, available for download on Tuesday, August 5.

First, for both the PS4 and PS5, there’s Lies of P, a third-person action-RPG developed by Neowiz and Round8. Loosely based on The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Colldi, the story takes place in the fictional city of Krat where Pinocchio must use melee weapons to battle enemy puppets, and disease-infected citizens. The gameplay has been heavily compared to the Dark Souls game series.

Next, for the PS4, there’s My Hero: One’s Justice 2 is a fighting game and sequel to the 2018 My Hero One’s Justice, and based on the manga series My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi. Select your favorite character from a vast roster, and battle in either story mode or online multiplayer.

Lastly, for the PS4, there’s DayZ, the 2018 online survival game by Bohemia Interactive. After an infection has turned the world into a zombie apocalypse, players must survive by scavenging for food, weapons, and supplies, while battling against the infected, and either cooperating or fighting with other online players.

Among the PlayStation Plus free games August 2025 line-up, Lies of P and My Hero: One’s Justice 2 have platinum trophies to unlock. Also, achieving 100% is not particularly easy for any of these games, for different reasons.

Similar to the Dark Souls games, obtaining the platinum for Lies of P is no cakewalk. It also requires a minimum of two playthroughs, and that is provided that you make several saves to the PS Cloud in order to unlock the multiple endings. Expect around 50-60 hours on this one.

Unlocking the platinum for My Hero: One’s Justice 2 will depend on your fighting skills. In addition, there are some online trophies which will probably require some boosting, since the online servers have been reported to be rather dead.

Lastly, since DayZ is entirely online, unlocking 100% of the trophies is also very difficult to do without having some boosting partners to help you.
