Now, onto the games!

It Takes Two | PS4, PS5

It Takes Two is not your average platformer—this game demands teamwork in every sense! You can either play locally or online with split-screen co-op, and even invite a friend to hop in for free with the "Friend’s Pass." You’ll step into the shoes of Cody and May, a couple transformed into dolls by a magic spell, navigating a bizarre world to mend their fractured relationship. Every level throws new, interconnected character abilities at you, challenging you to help each other overcome obstacles that will make you laugh till you cry. Whether you’re piloting underpants or bobsleighing through a magical snow globe, you’ll enjoy a story that’s as heartfelt as it is hilarious.

Aliens: Dark Descent | PS4, PS5

Brace yourself for a tactical horror experience in Aliens: Dark Descent, a real-time strategy game that tasks you with leading a squad of tough colonial marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe. You’ll face iconic Xenomorphs, rogue Weyland-Yutani operatives, and new horrors that bring fresh terrors to the Alien franchise. Explore vast levels, giving commands to your squad strategically as you engage monstrosities that evolve based on your tactics. But be careful—death is permanent in this gritty fight for survival.

Temtem | PS5

Step into a world where kids aspire to become Temtem tamers. Spanning six islands of the Airborne Archipelago, this adventure invites you to discover new species and forge strong bonds. Hunt down Temtem across diverse terrains, engage in thrilling battles, and trade with friends. Strive to thwart the nefarious Clan Belsoto’s plans, take on all eight Dojo Leaders, and clinch the title of ultimate Temtem tamer.

These trio of games will be available for PlayStation Plus members from December 3 to January 6.
