i surprised to see Fifa 24 here for free for PlayStation plus am sure people are still buying the game with how big the Fifa games are.

VersusDMC363d ago

Especially with the Euro cup coming up in june and it still selling as it was the 2nd best selling game for March in the UK. Big soccer competitions usually get me to play some FIFA(or FC now).

outsider1624363d ago

God damnit! I had just bought eafc24 on sale last month..

Cacabunga363d ago

they already gave FIFA23 last year, no surprise.
i do not have 24, I am still playing 23 I like the World Cup mode.
Ghostrunner 2 looks good, reminds me somehow of Mirror Edge.

CantThinkOfAUsername363d ago

It works for EA since it drives more people to try the game and get trapped in the casin... Ultimate Team cards.

Christopher363d ago

It came out over 6 months ago and most of its income now is MTX. Not surprising IMHO.

Abear21362d ago

Exactly! Nobody is buying it so they give it away and get a little boost of mtx, this is what these glorified rental services gets you

Tunic and ghost runner are damn good. Solid month.

monkey602363d ago

Yeah I'm happy with those 2. I didnt play Tunic when I had gamepass so ill be glad to finally give it a go.
I'm also amazed they still find ways to give Destiny 2 away. But at least its an added game and not one of the main titles

Tacoboto363d ago

Tunic was such an incredible experience, I'd instantly recommend it to anyone wanting a more old-school figure-it-out type of game.

The music alone is very peaceful and calming and balances well against the more strict combat

monkey602363d ago

I remember loving the demo for it but just hadn't got around to getting the full game yet.

shinoff2183363d ago

I thought tunic was pretty cool. Didn't care much for Ghostrunner

Einhander1972363d ago

Four games including one of the best selling and most popular sports games and you get to keep them as long as you have a subscription to the basic tier. This is an extremely high value month

What does games with gold give this month? I'm sure if anything at all, it's just a bunch of stuff that has already been on game pass for years.

Tacoboto363d ago

Your troll attempt is six months late to the party.

Einhander1972363d ago

Oh pardon me, they changed the name to game pass core so Phil could talk up some inflated numbers even after they said they weren't going to share numbers anymore.

Tacoboto363d ago

Why is this relevant in an article about PS Plus anyway?

You're spamming for the sake of spamming with a troll post over something Microsoft did away with half a year ago.

northpaws363d ago

This line up and I still see people complain about it at the blog.playstation.com... gamers these days...

I don't play all of them, but an amazing month!!

MWeaver589363d ago

I have everything I want, but I am still overjoyed to see Tunic make the list. It's such a charming love letter to games of the past, and something anyone who enjoyed gaming in the '90s should absolutely check out. I mean, it even allows you to create an in-game manual that is reminiscent of those you'd read on the ride home.

Sable was cool, gave me a bit of motion sickness though. Lego Drive and Power Wash are fun games.

LucasRuinedChildhood517d ago (Edited 517d ago )

I bought Sable a while back because it seems like a game I'd love and the art style is amazing but ... dear God ... https://youtu.be/mIJ7EjKhN-... The framerate is like a car that's conking out and about to die. It stutters all over the place, especially on the bike. It's not very playable.

You can get used to a low framerate but not this. It's like this on every platform and I don't think they ever fixed it.

darthv72517d ago

I liked the art style, but man did it mess with my head.

isarai517d ago

It was worth pushing through for me personally, it's probably the best example of a map that rewards exploration. But it is terrible especially when zooming through forests

purple101517d ago

that looks choppier than the Atlantic ocean on a and day,

hopefullY they fix that for the ps+ release cos' id like to check it out.

seanpitt23516d ago

What is this garbage? It's December! The month of giving! Lol

ooo powerwash

atleast a racer is included xD

Obscure_Observer517d ago

40% price increase for this. Sony should be ashamed. Smh.

JEECE517d ago

Sorry Spiderman 2 is selling well. I know you had low hopes for it.

shinoff2183517d ago

How come I never see you in the bad news xbox articles. Or the system sales articles. 40 percent sure sounds like alot but if you actually say the dollars it's really not.

anast516d ago

Obscure understands. I would play back.

VersusDMC517d ago

Essential had a 60 to 80 increase which is around 34%. Nothing you say is ever factual.

And if it were 3 popular games released this year you would say everyone already has the games and still complain.

Espangerish516d ago

So rather than release recent popular games they should release old unpopular ones to reduce the chances of people already having them? Weird logic

rippermcrip517d ago (Edited 517d ago )

Microsoft tried to raise their price and everyone cried, so they took it back. Then they eventually removed GWG free games.

SMH

Einhander1972517d ago

What games are you getting this month with your basic subscription?

And of course it wasn't a 40% increase.

S2Killinit517d ago

Isnt gamepass now more expensive? With an inferior service might I add.

crazyCoconuts517d ago

Monthly core is the same price, but PS is still cheaper annually even after the price increase

Trash month for Sony. I expect better. They haven't had a month this bad in a while.

darthv72517d ago

I guess the lack of GwG competition is starting to set in...?

Crows90517d ago

Lol
You honestly think that? There was never competition between the two.

OtterX517d ago

Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste? Next time I hope they contact you first.

I'm really happy with Lego 2K Drive. I was about to buy it for my kids for Christmas, and I know I'll enjoy playing it just as much as they will. Being able to actually build our own vehicles sounds pretty cool, and much different from the other samey-Lego games. (It's ok to enjoy Legos as an adult, we won't tell your friends! ;) ) Power Wash Simulator is a surprisingly fun, relaxing game. I'm hearing good things about Sable, but I know little about it.

It's good to cater to different kinds of tastes.

TheEnigma313517d ago (Edited 517d ago )

I'm a paying customer, so I have the right to criticize my displeasure with this months releases. Sony has dropped the ball this month and hopefully they bounce back in January.

frostypants517d ago (Edited 517d ago )

"Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste?"

Why are you asking? Do you not know?

Seraphim516d ago

@TheEnigma313 - criticize a company because, even at the higher pricing, the monthly cost of PS+ is less than a cup of coffee? @ $80 annually that's $6.66/mo. Make no mistake, I dislike the price increase, but we're talking spending chump change each month while expecting gold in return. Furthermore, how many people here have $35-50 subs active? Meaning they've paid $2.91-$4.16/mo. It's just silly and beyond ridiculous that month after month people complain about free games that were an added bonus to PS+. What kind of value do you expect each month for the cost of less than a cup of coffee. Criticizing a company for unrealistic expectations is sophomoric at best, idiotic at worst.

OtterX516d ago

@TheEnigma313 Yea, my apologies for the passive-aggressive response yesterday, I could have toned that down a bit. You're right, you have the right to complain. Just seems there's always so much of that on N4G, no one is ever happy with anything.

I still disagree though, Lego 2k Drive is a big score, as it's only came out in May. That's amazing to get a 69.99 title for free, only half a year after launch for the monthly price of a coffee, like @Seraphim said. The PC community has been wild about Power Wash Simulator this last year too, with an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam. I know the concept sounds boring on paper, but nothing scores "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam without being truly great. Give it a shot.

We're going into December where lots of kids are going to be getting their consoles, so they offered some family friendly games.

Just because you personally don't like the games does not mean they are bad games.

TheEnigma313517d ago

To me as a paying customer, they are bad (to me).

CrimsonWing69517d ago (Edited 517d ago )

When can we complain about Sony offerings? Seriously, like I made a comment about the classic games not having been stellar and you went up my ass about that.

So, my question is when can we voice our opinions about not being thrilled about the PS+ offerings? I’m pretty sure “never” is your answer.

Einhander1972517d ago

CrimsonWing69

You guys don't appreciate what you have and you're going to make it worse for everyone. Microsoft charges $80 a year at it's cheapest rate and they get zero monthly games.

Sony is giving you at a minimum 60 dollars worth of games this month, for $6.65.

If you want a different game go on the PSBlog and tell them what types of games you want, don't just say oh PS Plus is shit blah blah blah just because this month they didn't give you that one game you want.

And I believe my point was in that conversation that no matter what they give you, you're going to complain, I 100% double down on that. I went through a list of games that people said they wanted which Sony put onto Premium yet people still complain even after getting what they asked for.

Seriously, you guys are kind of worse than Obscure and the other xbox fanboys they just throw stones at the wall, but you guys are tearing shit down from the inside. You're causing people to cancel which means Sony has less money and the service is only going to get cheaper and cheaper games.

If you want better games more people need to subscribe so Sony can pool our money and negotiate better deals, that's why all the xbox fans are in here talking crap they want you to unsubscribe so Sony will have less money to make games and put games on the service.

I'm very disappointed as well.

Coming up to Christmas, the month of December should be a blitz, but this is a deflated bean bag.

I've had PSN plus since the ps3 days, but I'm seriously considering letting my sub laps.
