Among the notable departures from PS Plus Extra in the upcoming month, It Takes Two and Devil May Cry 5 stand out, having garnered significant acclaim upon their release. Devil May Cry 5 won back trophies in the Japan Game Awards, The Game Awards and Golden Joystick Awards in the same year it was released in 2019. On the other hand, It Takes Two, in particular, secured the title of the best game at The Game Awards in 2021. Consequently, it appears that PS Plus Extra users will bid farewell to some outstanding games come January 2024.

While aligning with Sony’s usual routine, this announcement holds particular significance as it marks the final one for the year. To clarify, the PS Plus Extra and Premium games unveiled for December 2023 will conclude the entire year for the service and establish the atmosphere for the upcoming year. The choice of games holds importance; if they are perceived as too modest, it might dampen anticipation, whereas if they are deemed excessively substantial, it could create unrealistic expectations for the upcoming year.
