The beginning of each month is eagerly anticipated by gamers, and for good reason: PlayStation console owners regularly receive a wonderful gift. Sony offers several free games to PlayStation Plus subscribers. It’s a great deal that has allowed players to rediscover titles like RoboCop: Rogue City, Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition, Stray, Diablo IV, Lies of P, Call of Duty Black Ops IV, or NBA 2K24, all offered at some point by Sony to PS+ members.
Last March, Sony treated both casual and hardcore gamers to PGA Tour 2K25, the latest edition of the essential golf game. We then set out on a monster-hunting quest inspired by Japanese folklore, with Monster Hunter Rise. Sony also offered Slime Rancher 2, a bright, quirky adventure and life-simulation game about extraterrestrial life. The lineup wrapped up with a perennial license: The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road.
And this month, what does PS Plus have in store for us? For this capricious April, Sony is ready to entertain with three must-play titles. This month, we play Lords of the Fallen, a dark fantasy action-RPG that drops us into a crusade against the gods. Next up, a nod to the classics: enjoy the remastered version of Tomb Raider I - III and step into Lara Croft’s adventuring shoes. We keep the momentum with the action in the co-op Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream. Grab your controllers!
To stay on top of all the PC and console launches in the coming days, check out our guide to the April releases. Have fun!
