Stay Inside This Holiday Season With These PlayStation Plus Games

PlayStation Extra and Premium subscribers can play Skate Story now, as well as Assassin’s Creed Mirage and more very soon.

Hell is skateboarding, or whatever Jean-Paul Sartre said. Some PlayStation Plus subscribers can now pick up a board and grind across the underworld as a demon in the devilishly unique skateboarding game Skate Story. In addition, Sony plans to add other games to the service on Dec. 16.

PlayStation Plus is the Sony version of Xbox Game Pass, offering subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games. PlayStation Plus has three tiers — Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) — which each give subscribers access to games. But only Extra and Premium tier subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.

Here are all the games PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can access on Dec. 16.

Skate Story

Listen, the premise of this game is simple, so I’m only going to explain it once: You’re a glass demon who made a deal with the devil to skate your way to the moon in order to eat it and free yourself from eternal damnation. That makes total sense, right?

That really is the plot of the game, and according to our sister site IGN, you’ll encounter quirky characters, like a frog barista and a subway with legs, along the way. But underneath the trippy visuals and absurd story is a skating game that feels more like Tony Hawk than some other modern skating games. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play this game now.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage

In this installment of the expansive media franchise, you play as a young street thief in the streets of ninth-century Baghdad. While some newer Assassin’s Creed games, such as Valhalla, rely on more role-playing gaming mechanics, Mirage is a return to the basic stealth mechanics of early Assassin’s Creed games.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

You’ll fight demons, dragons and more enemies in this dark fantasy RPG set during China’s late Han Dynasty. Chaos and destruction have overcome the land, and the imperial dynasty is about to collapse. You’ll use martial arts, weapons and devastating magic to overcome your enemies and defend your home.

Other games coming to PS Plus

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can also play these games starting on Dec. 16.

Cat Quest III
Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Lego Horizon Adventures
Paw Patrol: Grand Prix
Paw Patrol World
Planet Coaster 2
Soulcalibur III*

*Premium subscribers only.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Verum E-SIM — https://esim.verum.im
World E-SIM — https://worldesim.me
USA E-SIM — https://usa.esim.verum.im
Euro E-SIM — https://euro.esim.verum.im
Canada E-SIM — https://canada.esim.verum.im
Balkan E-SIM — https://balkan.esim.verum.im
Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
