PS Plus December 2022 – First Speculations and Rumors
Which games could come in December? Currently, there are no credible leaks about the new PS Plus. However, we have asked around in the community a bit and present you some titles that could be possible candidates for games in PS Plus.
However, please keep in mind that these are not binding information, but merely speculations and rumors that are being discussed on the internet.

The Artful Escape (PS4, PS5)
The Artful Escape was only released at the beginning of the year on PlayStation, while it could be played on Xbox and PC since last year.
In the psychedelic adventure, you play as Francis Vendetti, a teenage guitar talent who embarks on a consciousness-expanding and intergalactic journey to inspire his stage persona and confront the legacy of a dead folk legend.
The Artful Escape has a very good score of 81 points on metacritic.com and impresses with its great graphics and compact playtime. According to howlongtobeat.com, you need to plan about 4 hours of gameplay until you see the credits. So it’s the perfect game to spend a relaxed afternoon between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Here you can watch the launch trailer for The Artful Escape on PlayStation:
Back 4 Blood (PS4, PS5)
The cooperative shooter Back 4 Blood is the spiritual successor to the popular Left 4 Dead series. Consequently, you mainly have one goal in the game: to escape hordes of zombies while shooting as many of them as possible. It’s particularly fun when you go zombie hunting with your friends.
The game was released about a year ago for PlayStation consoles and triggered a small hype at release, which dissipated quickly and could not reach the successes of earlier Left 4 Dead titles.
That’s a shame since the first-person shooter is quite entertaining and visually appealing, and the hardcore action will definitely get your pulse racing. A PS Plus release could certainly help more players enjoy Back 4 Blood.
You can find out how the game is doing a year after release here.

Dead Cells (PS4)
The acclaimed indie game Dead Cells was released in 2018 for PS4 and shines with a score of 87 on metacritic.com.
In the roguevania, you play as a nameless inmate with memory loss, who comes to on a prison island. Your task is, therefore, to escape from that island and, meanwhile, to take revenge on the king who cut off your head. However, there is a catch: every time you die, you are completely sent back to the beginning of the game. Thus, you have to fight your way anew through procedurally generated dungeons after every death, hoping to have the perfect run and finally escape the island.
The 2D sidescroller is classically tough in roguelike fashion but is equally addictive and will surely keep you glued to the screen for a while.
