Out of all the new PS Plus games coming on December 17, the headliner is open world Sonic the Hedgehog game Sonic Frontiers. First released in 2022, Sonic Frontiers was better-received than most modern 3D Sonic games and even found itself nominated for some awards. Forspoken is also a notable new PS Plus Extra game. While it earned mixed reviews at the time of its release, it’s still one of the few PS5 console exclusives.
While it’s great that a fresh batch of games are being added to PS Plus Extra and Premium on December 17, the bad news is even more games are scheduled to be removed from the service. 16 games are leaving PS Plus Extra on December 17, including titles like Dead Island, Judgment, multiple Mega Man games, and Tinykin.
