Released in 2023 (and winner of our Game of the Year award), Alan Wake 2 follows up on the original by offering two protagonists: Wake and Saga Anderson. The latter is an FBI special agent investigating mysterious murders in Bright Falls and eventually connects with the former. Boasting incredible production values and storytelling, the sequel sold over two million units as of February 2025.

But that’s not all. To celebrate The Last of Us Day on September 26th, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can experience The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PS5. In terms of PlayStation Classics, Premium members can look forward to the addition of Tekken 3 (PS One), Soulcalibur 3 (PS2) and Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PS2) later this year.

Rise of the Tomb Raider returns on the same day. On December 7th, Goat Simulator 3 arrives for cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S, followed by Against the Storm on December 8th for PC.

In a report published on Dealabs, the leaker has claimed that the first half of December will see nine games being added to Game Pass, including the aforementioned Remnant titles, and on December 1, SteamWorld Build, which is confirmed to be a day and date release for the service. On December 8, as previously confirmed, Against the Storm will release day and date for Game Pass as well.

Among the rest, the two most prominent titles are Far Cry 6 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. They will allegedly be accompanied by World War Z: Aftermath, Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition, Goat Simulator 3, Tin Hearts, Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, and While the Iron’s Hot.

Microsoft will likely be officially announcing its wave 1 lineup for Game Pass’ December additions soon, so stay tuned for that.

Goat Simulator 3 is a sequel to 2014’s Goat Simulator, skipping over any game numbered at 2. Starring Pilgor the goat, Goat Simulator 3 takes place in the sandbox island of San Angora. Much like its predecessor, players are free to wander around and do whatever they might want in Goat Simulator 3.

Pilgor the goat can be fully customised, with options for the goat’s head, back, feet, body, horns, and furs. It will feature over 300 different gear parts, including clothing items as well as goofier options like toilet rolls and tea trays. Some gear parts will also provide new abilities, altering your play style.

A key feature in Goat Simulator 3 is the addition of multiplayer. It features 4-player co-op that can be played locally or online. The in-game world will be fully explorable in co-op mode, along with 7 multiplayer mini-games.

Check out the announcement trailer below, which parodies the infamous reveal trailer of Dead Island 2.
