What’s up, gaming community. We are back. Another new month, another set of free games to get with those paid subscriptions or apps. This article will contain a list of free games for December 2020 varying by platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC).
As a reminder, Epic Games won’t announce which game is free until the week prior. So, I will be updating this article weekly. Without further ado, let’s begin.
PlayStation Plus is a subscription that offers 2-3 PS4 games and maybe (likely not) a PS3 game. Disclaimer: If your subscription expires, the games are blocked without renewal or buying the game separately.
For December 2020, the PlayStation Plus player base will be able to download:
- Just Cause 4 (December 1st until January 4th)
- Rocket Arena (December 1st until January 4th)
- Worms Rumble (December 1st until January 4th)
- Bugsnax (December 1st until January 4th)
I haven’t played either of these games. But I heard Just Cause 4 and Rocket Arena some of the only good ones to come out recently. Those are my thoughts.
Xbox Live Gold is a subscription that offers 2 Xbox One games and a combination between 2 Xbox 360 games or two original Xbox games. Disclaimer: Any games obtained will be permanently added to the user’s library even after the subscription ends. All free 360 and original Xbox games will be automatically backward-compatible with the Xbox One.
For December 2020, the Xbox Live Gold players will be able to download:
- Xbox:
- Stacking (360) (December 1st until 15th)
- Saints Row: Gat out of Hell (360) (December 16th until 31st)
- Xbox One:
- Swimsanity (November 16th until December 15th)
- The Raven Remastered (December 16th until December 31st)
- Bleed 2 (December 16th until January 15th)
Prime Gaming (formerly Twitch Prime) is available to all Amazon Prime members, and it gives PC games and DLC to users each month. Disclaimer: Any games or DLC obtained will be permanently added to the user’s library even after the Prime subscription ends.

Lastly, we got the Epic Games Store also for the PC. Disclaimer: Any games obtained will be added to the user’s library even after the free period. Epic Games Store doesn’t require a paid subscription of any kind.
Exclusively for December, Epic Games plan to make a game free every day from December 17th until the end of the year.
PC players for December 2020 will also be able to get:
- Pillars of Eternity – Definitive Edition (December 11th until 17th)
- Tyranny – Gold Edition (December 11th until 17th)
December has an overabundance of games but not much on the quality. No doubt, more are coming throughout the month. So that means there are more opportunities for quality games to arrive.
That will do it for this month. If you didn’t like this month, take a look at November’s article here. Make sure you come back here for any updates. While you’re at it, make sure you subscribe to me or follow me on Twitter @_urgegaming. I hope you and your loved ones have a blessed day. Peace.
