December 2019's PlayStation Plus games have been revealed, and it's safe to say that we've once again got a lineup that splits opinion. The month's two PlayStation 4 titles were actually leaked ahead of the official announcement, with subscribers gaining access to Titanfall 2 and Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame.
Although Titanfall 2 is clearly meant to be the headline act here, its inclusion hasn't gone down well with everyone. The shooter -- which boasts a particularly great campaign -- has been on sale countless times over the last few years, reaching some incredibly low prices. As such, its value has been called into question.
Meanwhile, Monster Energy Supercross is a kind of decent racer held back by a range of niggling issues. Its inclusion is unlikely to set the world on fire, but at least it might provide a brand new experience for a lot of people.
But what do you think of December's PS Plus games? Whether you love them or hate them, vote in our polls, and then feed us an honest opinion in the comments section below.

I will actually play Monster Energy Supercross for a bit.
Looking forward to seeing some full lobbies in titanfall 2 stopped playing a long time ago as it became harder to find a game. Really enjoyed the game
@Bagshot as I don’t really have time for multiplayer and just play SP I cancelled my PS+ about a year ago. Can’t say I’ve missed it at all and if you have a backlog like mine doubt you would either.
I feel the service needs revamping in light of better value options elsewhere...
I'm quite looking forward to playing Titanfall 2 actually. But there's no getting away from the fact that PS Plus has been poor value recently. I don't know why they won't stick a little indie game in there each month or something
I dont do multiplayer but I will play the campaign in Titanfall 2. Just went to a motocross race my grandnephew was in. So the supercross game will fit right in. I'm OK with the titles month. I never expect much from the low cost of PS-Plus for the year membership for 24 games. We do get surprised more than a few times each year.
Well, I was thinking about resubbing, as my PS+ recently expired, but next month's mediocre offerings convinced me to save my money instead.
People are only pissed because they aren't getting God of war and even if we did, they'd STILL complain about the fact they've completed it. It's a no win situation for Sony. Can't please everyone. For me personally, this is a far better offering than last month.
Titanfall 2 is a good game but lets face it, if you want it you can pick it up for peanuts and the Motorcross game looks terrible. If they're going to offer games like this then why not use it to promote some good indie developers instead, as their games are increasingly getting less visibility on the Playstation store which is obsessed with promoting the likes of Fortnite, Fifa and COD?
Titanfalls 2 is one of the best shooters of all time frankly, its incredible with an amazing SP and a fantastic MP what makes you feel like being in a massive blockbuster action film all the time however the game is so cheap and constantly on offer that it feels like Sony conned us this month. Maybe if the other game was something far better it would be different but yeah.
Overall i don't care that much as i sub to Plus so i can play online and take advantage of the deals so the "free" games were never something i subbed for but they still could have been better though.
Yes, yes I am. Subs are on sale for 3 bucks a month right now so seems worth it to me
@get2sammyb me too, I like bike games, hopefully it has a free roam mode
Worst month ever.word up son
@playstation1995 Come on, really?
@LiamCroft. Titanfall is a great game.i already got it on a physical disc.but monster energy im not really interested.first month that im not downloading nothing on ps plus.they should give 2 aaa games. And indie games.but its all good.my backlog of games is a Lot.word up son
The problem I have with Plus is it's just Sony trying to save as much money as possible when their making millions off Plus each year. These games cost Sony little to nothing to put on Plus.
@Bagshot I think next gen the solution is to split PS Plus back up. Make online gaming free (like the PC 🙄) as it should be, and create some sort tiered system for people to sub into of they want 'premium' features.
As you and others say, you can't please everybody. I think people would be far happier just having online gaming for free. Because tbh, if you don't play the Plus games the subscription isn't actually good value.
I doubt anybody will listen to this, but I think it'd be a fairer way forward, and would also be an indicator of if people actually feel like Plus is of value to them...
I'll have a go of Titanfall 2 since Respawn did a sterling job with Star Wars.
@billyboyblue666 I completely agree. Although, realistically, I doubt many people would sub if online was free. I only sub for the online, but most ps plus games aren’t worth my time.
I have Titanfall 2 and its a great game but as many have pointed out its been cheap for years. As for monster motocross I have no idea why that was chosen. Pretty sure it made many worst game lists
I have played titanfall 2 and just tried out ME 2 days ago for the 1st time and i didn't enjoyed it that much at all,wasn't satisfied with it anyway. Hopefully theyll change the 2nd game for far cry 4 or something right? Bc i see that most of the community didn't like ME as a ps plus. I hope theyll change the 2nd game before next Tuesday!
@Danloaded i agree with u. Like for the 2nd choice,i was expecting far cry 4 or something good for as a awesome Christmas gift! Like u what i mean? Do u think theyll change the 2nd choice like they did back in July?
@Simbasking1 I think theyl either change it or maybe add a third game. They've been on a good run on ps plus since the July change so this is a bit unexpected.
It's poor. Hopefully the December PS Now additions will make up for it a bit.
Titanfall 2 is good BUT its usually dirt cheap. That Monster Bike thang is a sneaky/crappy inclusion!! How they thought they could palm us off with that shovel ware is mind boggling. They've heard the protests before .... whoever picked that game KNEW nobody would want it!!
@daveofduncan actually I don't care about God of War and this month is rubbish. The service is abysmal.
Underwhelming this month, was hoping for better Christmas offerings. But overall it's been a pretty decent year on Plus.
Personally I'd prefer they combined the monthly games from Plus into Now, so there's just one, less confusing, game rental service, then cut the price of online play and backup to something cheap like £2 a month, if not free.
But overall, for something that costs as little as £2.50 per month if you buy carefully, PS Plus causes a heck of a lot of drama amongst customers.
Won't be renewing once my sub runs out. Rarely ever play multiplayer and the 'free' games just aren't worth it. Will lose access to them once I'm unsubbed so what exactly have I paid for if I don't do multiplayer
OK month. I'll dabble in both for a bit. Have many prior purchases to finish. Hopefully they start January with a bang before all the big games come out.
I actually bought a ps plus subscription last week for the first time, and this is how they repay me?!
Titanfall 2 is alright though, especially for the 4 quid I originally paid for it.
Can’t stand motorcross games too much boring repetitiveness, kind of aimed at younger players. And I’d hate too say more of an American based title, I already own TF2 and that’s why there no interest in this months games. I must say TF2 is a really engaging story and the online multiplayer is cool.
I think Sony should add a third title, some indie thing each month.
I got PS Plus for playing online and it's not that expensive (almost same as fishing license in UK). For the first couple of years I've never looked at those free games, now I'm just adding those to the library. Maybe will try Titanfakk and that racer BTW.
I've already played and completed Titanfall 2 multiple times great game but already got it and i'm not bothered at all about monster energy supercross, not that happy about decembers line up
Had a lot of fun with Titanfall 2 multiplayer before I traded it in a couple years ago. Guess this is my chance to finish the campaign since I never finished it.
Titanfall 2 is an excellent game, but I’ve already played it. I couldn’t care less about Monster Motocross. Overall it’s a fine month, but not great by any means.
I really dont care i play online quite a lot now. I got a quite a few good games out of it. The price is too low too expect triple A games all the time. If you expect triple A games all the time then €10 a month would not be high. People act like they pay so much even if you get games that are €5 a month you get your moneys worth. But there are a lot of.
Okay so I have always had a subscription (even in my PS3 days), this year we got games like nioh, Detroit, For Honor, Wipeout, the last of us, Batman, Darksiders III.... and then give us a game that came out in 2016; Titanfall 2 🤦♂️. It WAS a good game 3 years ago, I still have the physical copy. I have been lifted up only to have been dropped from a higher elevation... Sadly with the hits that have been put out over the year, this month seems like a poor showing and it's disappointing, especially when amazing game bundles are being given out with black Friday deals. I can only hope for a positive reaction by SEI and something good for the community comes out of the comments.
Every month I seem to already own the 'big' title but have no interest in the 'lesser' title. In hindsight it was probably better when we got a few indies.
Please not God of War next month either, just finished that one!
@carlos82 I remembered when ps+ was just offering mainly indie titles and people was complaining then
@Montys that's true but the only memorable game I have from PS+ is Rocket League, generally speaking any major AAA game I would either buy at launch or in a sale at some point so by the time it goes to plus I've either already played it or had no interest. For me personally I'm not that bothered as I have more than enough games to be getting on with, but a nice little indie title I've not heard of as they get little coverage anyway would be quite nice
@Flaming_Kaiser I use my plus subscription almost exclusively for savings on the store, I can't even remember the last plus title I've played through to completion, probably Rocket League 😂
@carlos82 I missed Rocket League... 😩 😔 I forgot download it. 😆
@carlos82 Totally agree on the indie games and if its great i will get on Limited Run Games too if i can. 😉
I adore Titanfall 2. Have done since launch. It deserves way more credit than it got, unfairly sandwiched between Infinite Warfare & Battlefield 1. It’s the only multiplayer that I regularly go back to. I’ve told so many people to pick it up for peanuts but even for a fiver, they didn’t want to bite. For me it always feels fresh purely due to the fact that it switches between COD style boots on ground shooting to giant mech fighting in the blink of an eye. That can completely change a match. Frankly, although I’d have preferred games worth more this month, if TF 2 on Plus increases the player count & keeps it alive we’re more likely to get TF 3. Especially now that Respawn have finished their contractually obligated Star Wars game. 👍
If THIS is what they are offering for December can you imagine what games were NOT selected? I mean, they must have a number of games to choose from at any one time right? So either they had a bunch of games that were all crap and these were the BEST of that crap, OR they couldn't find any other games and this was all they could come up with. Either way, its a crap selection.
No interest in FPS and motocross games. Two genres that don’t hold their value either... I actually prefer them giving us indie games to boring FPSers that you can pick up for pennies if you like that kind of thing. These will sit in my library, never to be downloaded.
@Flaming_Kaiser Rocket League was amazing, especially before its bs loot crate system came into effect, it's still a fun game though. These days Sony does such a poor job promoting indies, all I keep hearing is how successful these games are on Switch yet when typing their names on the PS store I realise most are here too, just hidden away, even Xbox is proud to add these to Gamepass
Please change the games. Dead cells and Odin Sphere, batman return to arkham, final fantasy 12..are all great choices
Its Christmas time.
They want you buying the good games instead of giving them out. This doesn't surprise me.
I won't bother with either title. Gonna be playing my black friday titles instead.
I saw the Supercross game in the bargain bin at my local Best Buy on Black Friday. Seeing this on the lineup feels like a slap in the face to me.
My Monster Energy Supercross, has been replaced with Timefall Porter Supercross.
A lot of whining, spoiled brats here wanting more, better games. Game companies still have to make money, but some are generous enough to make it free and you only have to pay for PS Plus. Think about that. Anyway! Titanfall 2 is still the best game! The campaign in the game is also very good too. As a Titanfall freak, it's a welcoming news for me, meaning more players who haven't tried the game out yet, despite the game being on sale a couple times. Just look at Destiny 2, it went free twice and it brought in many new players. It's gonna be a blast!
I've stopped bothering with the games, nothing of interest to me
@carlos82 I dont understand why people scream for triple A the ones i want i buy them day one. I do understand why Sony does not want to add indies anymore do hear hear the people get a meltdown when they are in plus. 😩
If I didn't already have access to Titanfall 2 via Origin Access this month might've been more appealing, but as that isn't the case, I'm probably gonna skip this month.
@VigorBird This was my thoughts exactly. Seems the commmunity here is more whiny than I thought. Especially from Sony fans, I thought this kind of bratty behaviour was below most of the community. Look, you can't have AAA blockbuster games every damn month, it's not realistic, or feasible for Sony to be doing this, and Titanfall (although quite old now) is still a fantastic game to get for free.
I appreciate some people may have already bought it, and I do feel that Playstation need to figure out a way for PS plus players who are not getting their monthly games for free because they already purchased them some sort of discount, or token instead so that the free game bonuses are completely wasted on them. Asides from that, anyone complaining is acting like a spoiled bratty child.
I see people saying taht they want indie games. I see other people that only want AAA games.
So, it is impossible to have both ways. And it's true, they can't give us AAA games everymonth.
Still, and although I really want to try Titanfall and love racing games, the value of the games is a bit ridiculous, but understandable at the same time.. Mix feelings for me.
TF2 is not the issue. The problem is having 2 freebie and half the offering is a merchandise game for an energy drink. And the while TF2 would have made a great addition for plus, to gain it with Monster Bike whatever doesn't help at all.
I suggest anyone that hasn't played TF2 to try it out. Really great game. Truth is that TF2 deserved a better partner for it's plus month
Honestly would not bother with plus if I could play multilayer without it. The free game have become consistently disappointing. Worse since they stopped for PS3 and Vita.
In Canada Titanfall 2 is sold at the dollar store for $4.00. Also the digital version frequently goes on sale for $10 or less on the PS Store.
Offering it as a free game isn't anything to be excited about at all.
