Sony has announced the full December update for the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, bringing a range of new PS5 and PS4 titles to Extra and Premium subscribers. Beginning December 16, players will gain access to several notable releases including Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, and Planet Coaster 2. Skate Story joined the service earlier on December 8. Soulcalibur III expands the classic library for PlayStation Plus Premium, arriving with modern enhancements.
The December lineup maintains Sony’s approach of offering a mix of high-profile action games, RPGs, family-friendly experiences, and legacy titles to support long-term engagement across subscription tiers.
Key Action Titles Lead the December Additions
Assassin’s Creed Mirage headlines the update with a focus on the franchise’s earlier stealth-driven design. The game follows Basim, a young thief exploring 9th-century Baghdad, and includes the Valley of Memory update that adds new content and gameplay improvements. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty rounds out the major action entries with its dark fantasy depiction of the Later Han Dynasty, combining martial arts-inspired combat with supernatural elements.
New Releases Expand Genre Variety
Skate Story introduces a stylized skating experience set in the Underworld, blending exploration, narrative progression, and skill-based motion. Granblue Fantasy: Relink offers a cooperative action RPG set in the Sky Realm, allowing players to build four-person parties and take on quests through a combination of real-time combat mechanics.
Planet Coaster 2 introduces expanded theme park customization on PS5, with new creation tools, water rides, and nine themed sets. Cat Quest III adds a lighthearted pirate-themed action RPG, while Lego Horizon Adventures adapts the Horizon series into a co-op-focused adventure built entirely from Lego bricks.
The catalog update also includes Paw Patrol: Grand Prix and Paw Patrol World, both designed for younger audiences and supporting local multiplayer and accessibility-focused gameplay.
Classic Content Arrives for Premium Subscribers
Soulcalibur III joins the PlayStation Plus Premium lineup with improved visuals, rewind features, quick saving and video filter options. The enhanced version retains content such as Chronicles of the Sword, Quick Play, and Mission mode, giving long-time fans and new players access to one of the notable entries in the weapon-based fighting series.
