PS Plus December 2022 free PS4 and PS5 games release date, time, line-up and final warning | Gaming | Entertainment

PlayStation Plus subscribers are counting down to the release of the free games for December 2022. The next batch of PlayStation Plus Essentials have a December 6 release date and an estimated 10am GMT UK launch time. The December freebies are headlined by the excellent Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which contains upgraded versions of the original Mass Effect trilogy.

The Mass Effect games have been given a 4K makeover, complete with enhanced textures and improved character models. That’s on top of modified controls, a superior user-interface and a much more colourful visual style.

In addition to the core games from the Mass Effect Trilogy, the Legendary Edition contains more than 40 pieces of downloadable content. This includes story expansion packs, as well as bonus weapons, armour and more.

Joining Mass Effect Legendary Edition is BioMutant, which is an open-world role-playing game starring a kung-fu mammal.

“Mix melee, shooting and mutant ability action in this open-world, post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable RPG,” reads the official description. “A plague is ruining the land and the Tree-of-Life is bleeding death from its roots. The Tribes stand divided. Explore a world in turmoil and define its fate – will you be its saviour or lead it to an even darker destiny?”

The final game joining PS Plus in December is a brand new release called Divine Knockout, which sounds a bit like a 3D Smash Bros.

Players can choose from one of ten different mythical gods and heroic figures, such as Hercules and Thor.

Each arena has its own different mechanics, while game modes include 3v3, 1v1 and 2v2.

Needless to say, this is your last chance to download the November free games, which are headlined by Souls-like action game Nioh 2.

Nioh 2 is joined by family-friendly multiplayer game LEGO Harry Potter Collection, as well as physics-based puzzle game Heavenly Bodies.
