All PS Plus games given away for free in 2025 and how much they usually cost

All year round PlayStation Plus Subscribers got significant value from their memberships in 2025, with the combined retail value of free games offered by Sony exceeding $1,500. While this number represents a minor drop from 2024, the total number of free titles on PS Plus has actually increased over the past 12 months, if only slightly.

Monthly free games are far from the only advantage of PS Plus, but they are one of its strengths, not least because they are available at all levels of the service: Essential, Extra and Premium. Sony typically averages three new bonuses — which, once claimed, remain playable for the duration of one subscription — per month, but the company deviated from that pattern several times over the course of 2025.

PS Plus is losing one of its most emotionally charged games and 3 other titles in January 2026

PlayStation Plus subscribers have to say goodbye to one of the service's most emotionally charged games and three other titles in January.

PS Plus gave away over $1,500 worth of games in 2025

PS Plus offered 39 monthly free games in 2025, one more than the year before, for an average of 3.25 titles per month. That number was largely due to two months: June, when PS Plus subscribers could claim Fate 2'with Final shape expansion, along with three additional bonuses, and December, which featured five free titles, all of which remain available until early January. Based on full retail prices, the 2025 series totaled $1,536.61, down roughly 4% from 2024.

  • Total number of games dealt: 39 (+2.63% year-on-year)

    • Monthly average: 3.25 games

    • Cross-Gen Games: 20 (-40% YoY)

    • PS5-only games: 19 (+280% YoY)

  • Total value: $1,536.61 (-3.94% YoY)

    • Monthly average: $128.05 worth of games

  • Average game price: $39.40 (-6.41% YoY)

One notable trend seen in this year's data is the sharp decline in PS4 games. In 2024, almost 87% of all monthly free titles claimed by PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium subscribers were playable on Sony's latest generation console. This year, this percentage dropped to 51.28%. The trend is expected to continue, with Sony previously confirming plans to further deprioritize PS4 titles as part of PS Plus benefits from January 2026.

With PS Plus Essential priced between $79.99 and $119.88 per year (based on 1-month and 12-month plans), the more than $1,530 worth of free titles offered in 2025 represent a significant cost advantage. The actual value will vary depending on player preference, but from a pure cost savings perspective, the Essential tier has delivered solid returns over the course of the year.
