PS Plus Essential December 2025: Highlighting the Latest Games
Discover the new releases on PS Plus Essential this December as LEGO Horizon Adventures takes center stage alongside other exciting titles.
LEGO Horizon Adventures: A Mixed Bag
One year after its initial release on PS5, LEGO Horizon Adventures shines as a headline title for PS Plus Essential in December 2025. Despite its charm, our review rated it a 6/10, noting its limitations compared to other recent LEGO games.
The game offers a delightful interpretation of Sony’s beloved series, successfully incorporating the characters, story, and combat elements into the LEGO universe with impressive visual detail. However, once the initial excitement fades, players may find the level design to be lackluster and repetitive, lacking the engaging platforming and puzzle-solving experiences typically associated with the franchise.
The Outlast Trials: Survival Horror Reimagined
Also featured this month is The Outlast Trials, a unique multiplayer spin-off of the acclaimed survival horror series. Launched with a score of 7/10, it has seen continuous updates that add to its replayability.
While it might not deliver the solo thrills fans of the original titles seek, The Outlast Trials successfully adapts the franchise’s terrifying formula to a cooperative setting. Players can now hide from gruesome adversaries while utilizing night vision—a venture best enjoyed with up to three friends online.
Neon White: A Fast-Paced Challenge
Rounding out this month’s highlights is Neon White, an exhilarating run-based platformer that challenges players to complete levels in record time while fulfilling specific tasks. Rated at 8/10, the game immerses players in a slick and stylish environment.
What makes Neon White truly compelling is its addictive nature, encouraging gamers to push their limits as they strive to achieve the fastest completion times for each level.
Engaging New Content Awaits
This December, PS Plus Essential subscribers have a variety of gaming experiences at their fingertips. Whether you’re navigating the charming world of LEGO Horizon Adventures, surviving the horrors of The Outlast Trials, or racing through the vibrant levels of Neon White, there’s something for everyone.
