PS Plus Game Catalog Titles for December

The first open world Sonic game, Sonic Frontiers, joins the PS Plus Game Catalog this month. The game world here is a departure from the linear levels seen in previous games in the franchise, expanding the available explorable area. But at the core, the platforming gameplay remains familiar. Players take control of Sonic the Hedgehog as he runs through the world at blistering speeds, collecting rings, grinding rails and solving puzzles.

The open world is an island setting, littered with secrets. Players can choose to explore any given area at any point and are free to tackle the game's challenges in their preferred order. As Sonic traverses through intricate platform sections, he also encounters enemies in his way. Sonic Frontiers will be available on PS4 and PS5.

December sees another open world game coming to Game Catalog. Forspoken, released in 2023 on PC and PS5, is an action-RPG from Square Enix where players take control of Frey, a New Yorker who accidentally stumbles upon a magical artefact and is transported to a fantastical world. Frey then must utilise her newfound magical powers to defend Athia from a deadly threat.

In the game, players will have access to different branches of magical powers and a magical traversal system that allows Frey to jump, hop and skip across long distances. She can freely run up mountain cliffs and skip across bodies of water using her abilities. Forspoken will be available on PS5.

Rally racing sim WRC Generations also arrives on PS Plus this month. The game promises an authentic and uncompromising rally racing experience, with a licensed recreation of the 2022 World Rally Championship. Released in 2002, WRC Generations includes new hybrid models of real-life rally cars. Vehicles with hybrid engines also come with new driving mechanics. Aside from authentic cars and tracks, players will be able to take part in various modes, including Leagues mode that lets players challenge opponents online.
