December’s Games with Gold and PS Plus titles have been revealed

It being the end of the month means it’s time to run through December’s crop of free games for Xbox Games with Gold and PS Plus subscribers. Next-gen consoles are now officially out in the wild here in the UK, and while the selection this month won’t exactly push your shiny new boxes to the absolute limit graphically, all the included titles run the distinct genre gamut. Needless to say, it's a good time to be subscribed to either of these services.

Games with Gold for December 2020

December’s Games with Gold titles represent well over £60 in savings, giving you the means to descend to and explore the depths of hell or hunt for a legendary master thief in 1960s London. It all kicks off with The Raven Remastered and Saints Row: Gat out of Hell on December 1^st, the first being a period-set mystery and the latter letting you shoot your way through endless demons. Then, on December 16^th, two more games arrive to treat Xbox fans in Bleed 2 and Stacking.

Here’s a brief breakdown of every Games with Gold title arriving in December:

The Raven Remastered:A graphical remastering of the original 2013 mystery game, The Raven Remastered sets you in the shoes of a detective hunting down the titular master thief after an ancient ruby from the British Museum is stolen. It’s a classic interpretation of the “Whodunit” adventure narrative, letting Xbox explores explore and investigate a thrilling crime story. Look forward to solving the case when The Raven Remastered comes to Xbox Games with Gold on December 1^st, 2020.

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell: Releasing for Xbox 360 but also forwards compatible for Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X systems, Saints Row: Gat out of Hell is a standalone spin-off to the rambunctious fourth entry of THQ’s trademark open-world series.

Bleed 2 is available for Gold subscribers on December 16^th.

Stacking: Developed by the same team behind Psychonauts, Costume Quest and Brutal Legend comes Stacking, a puzzle and graphical adventure hybrid in which players must stack and unstack themselves into a series of larger dolls.
