Over the past year, Sony has positionedPS Plus Extra and Premium, time and again, as the best tier of the service. Since they are the highest tiers available on PS Plus, this makes sense, but they have been game-changers. The past year has seen some great games released on the PS Plus Essential tier, but every month that had a weaker selection was seemingly supported and saved by PS Plus Extra and Premium. This is perfectly summed up this month. ThePS Plus free games for December 2023 may be a mixed bag, but the PS Plus Extra and Premium games are incredibly top-notch, reiterating the worth of the service ahead of 2024.

The headlining game for PS Plus Extra isGrand Theft Auto 5, an already massive game with tons of popularity. It has topped sales charts ever since its launch, even now, and it is the most profitable entertainment product of all time. While this statistic would seemingly suggest that plenty of people have had enough ofGTA 5, that’s not really the case especially when fans can revisit it or play it for the first time at the cost of their subscription. But, more than that, Rockstar Games recently revealedGTA 6’s first trailer to thunderous applause.

It’s one of those gifts that looks like just one on the service, but there are so many uses and items underneath that fans can use it all year long.
