Here's when you can download the PS Plus Extra and Premium games this month including the mighty GTA 5 and other treats.
The PS Plus Extra and Premium December 2023 lineup was announced by PlayStation last week, promising every PS Plus subscriber an end-of-year treat thanks to the news GTA 5 would be included. This will no doubt make the long wait for GTA 6 go down a little smoother, sitting neatly alongside PS Plus Essential December 2023’s trio of free titles to maintain the gaming greatness this festive season. The PS Plus Extra and Premium December 2023 release time is now just around the corner.
This marks the very first time that GTA 5 has appeared in any sort of PS Plus offering. Its inclusion on the PS Plus Extra and Premium tier specifically means it can eventually be taken away, of course, but that’s not likely for a long while yet. In my mind, this makes this month’s lineup just as enticing as Xbox Game Pass, which Rockstar Games' latest crime-em-up has appeared on several times.
PS Plus Extra and Premium December 2023 release time
The PS Plus Extra and Premium December 2023 games will be released on Tuesday, December 19 at 10am GMT / 5am EST / 2am PST.
This is exactly when the December PS Plus games lineup will be available to download on either your PS4 or PS5. If you’ve forgotten the full list of titles coming to subscribers when the release time does arrive, here’s a handy reminder of what else will be joining GTA 5 in the catalogue as we barrel towards the end of 2023:
