PlayStation has revealed the latest Game Catalog lineup for December 2023, with a number of great inclusions for those looking to keep themselves entertained over the holiday period. The flagship title for the month is Grand Theft Auto V – which arrives just after the grand reveal for sequel, GTA 6 – but there’s also a bunch of other lower-key hits here, too, like Metal: Hellsinger, and Team Ninja/Square Enix spin-off, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.
To gain access to these titles, you’ll need to have an active PlayStation Plus Extra, Premium, or Deluxe subscription, and be patient enough to wait for 19 December 2023 when these latest titles join the Game Catalog lineup.
