Need for Speed Unbound is the only PlayStation 5 exclusive game in this month’s lineup. This 25th installment in the iconic NFS series was launched in 2022.

You will undoubtedly have a wide range of cars to unlock as you make progress.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remake version of the 2010 3D platformer named Epic Mickey. You play as Mickey Mouse and travel to Wasteland, a realm of forgotten Disney characters. You will have a magical paintbrush and thinner that will help you navigate through challenges and complete the adventure. The game also features Walt Disney’s first character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Core Keeper is a sandbox game that can be played solo or with up to eight players. The game features mining, farming, crafting, building, combat, and automation mechanics. You will have to explore, build your base, and survive enemies to keep progressing. Both these games are available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
You will need to be an active subscriber of at least the PlayStation Plus Essential tier to redeem these games. Once claimed, these games will be yours to play as long as you have an active subscription. You also have until January 5 to claim PlayStation Plus monthly games for December 2025.
