Key Takeaways
- Classic PS2 games Sly 2, Sly 3, and Jak and Daxter are coming to PS Plus Premium on December 10.
- Another batch of games are expected to arrive on December 17.
- That same day, 16 titles are leaving PS Plus.
In a surprise announcement, Sony has confirmed three games that will be joining the Premium tier of its PlayStation Plus subscription service in December 2024. Most of the time, Sony announces the PlayStation Plus Premium games in the middle of the month. However, it decided to shake things up a bit with the December 2024 free games.
The last Wednesday of each month is typically when Sony announces the new PS Plus Essential games for the following month. That’s exactly what happened with the free PS Plus games for December 2024, confirmed to be It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem. But instead of just revealing the free PS Plus games for December 2024, Sony decided to give fans a sneak preview of what they can expect from the new PS Plus Premium games in December 2024 as well.

PS Plus: A Comprehensive List Of Every Monthly Game It’s Added
Since relaunching the subscription service in June 2022, Sony has added a host of games per month to PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium.
Sony has announced that Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy are all joining the PS Plus Premium lineup on December 10. These classic PS2 games are coming to PS Plus Premium to help celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, but they won’t be coming alone. While Sony has yet to reveal what other games will be joining the Extra and Premium tiers in December 2024, it did confirm that more titles are on the way. Presumably, these titles will be added on Tuesday, December 17, which would be the typical day that new games are added to Extra and Premium, but there has yet to be any clarification on that front.
PS Plus Premium Games for December 2024
- Sly 2: Band of Thieves
- Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
- Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
December 17 will be a busy day for PlayStation Plus subscribers regardless. On that same day, at least 16 games are leaving PS Plus Extra, including games like Dead Island: Definitive Edition, Judgment, Mega Man 11, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, and Tinykin. Games leave PS Plus Extra every month, but hopefully the new additions are enough to make up for the departures.
Even with a big batch of games leaving PS Plus in December 2024, subscribers should still be getting their money’s worth and then some, especially if December 17 will see another set of PS Plus Extra and Premium games added that are independent of the special additions coming in December. Of course, one needs to be signed up for PS Plus Premium to enjoy absolutely every benefit that the service has to offer, and so fans should keep that in mind.
