Every Monthly Game Added To PS Plus

Sony launched the new era of PlayStation Plus in June 2022, combining the previous version with PS Now. Although the latter subscription service was around for a long time, PS Now struggled to get over its early negative reputation, so a revamp was needed to wipe the slate clean.

PS Plus is split into three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. Essential unlocks PlayStation’s online features along with providing a couple of free monthly games. Along with Essential’s offerings, Extra grants access to hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games; meanwhile, Premium extends the lineup to include older consoles. Each month, Sony adds a bunch of new PS Plus games to each tier, including first-party PS5 exclusives, third-party juggernauts, PS VR2 games, and indie darlings. Some months are better than others, but they all tend to include a couple of standouts. What are all the monthly games that have been added to PS Plus?

Updated April 10, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The PS Plus Extra and Premium games for April 2025 have been revealed, and it is a strong lineup.

Free Games PS Plus Essential: April 2025

RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5), Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory (PS4), & The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PS5/PS4)

Following a couple of months that were headlined by polarizing titles, the PS Plus Essential games lineup for April 2025 is a bit more “normal,” for lack of a better word. All three games are reasonably highly regarded but also mid-tier releases in terms of popularity and exposure. As such, there is a decent chance that most subscribers do not own at least one of these projects, and they are all worth consideration.

RoboCop: Rogue City‘s reputation has arguably only improved since its debut, with Teyon’s first-person shooter nowadays being considered one of the better licensed titles of the last few years. The game aims to prove an authentic recreation of the source material, specifically in terms of gameplay feel. RoboCop is heavy and slow, all the while being a powerhouse who can demolish enemies with style.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre should be a good one for multiplayer fans craving an asymmetrical horror game, and its debut month will be the best time to jump on board. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory is a lengthy turn-based creature-collecting JRPG that has an addictive fusion/digivolution system, along with a pretty decent story that can get quite dark at times.

All Monthly Games That Were Free On PS Plus Essential

• 1- Month Price: $9.99
• 3-Month Price: $24.99
• 12-Month Price: $79.99

Formerly known as just PS Plus, Essential is the minimum required to play online multiplayer on the PS5 or PS4. Every month, the tier rotates a couple of new free PS Plus games. While these titles are only available to purchase for roughly a month, anyone who picks them up can continue to play them after that point as long as they have an active subscription.

• 1-Month Price: $14.99
• 3-Month Price: $39.99
• 12-Month Price: $134.99

PS Plus Extra includes a catalog featuring hundreds of games. Extra focuses exclusively on PS5 and PS4 titles, and each month expands the existing library with roughly 10 to 20 new additions. Unlike Essential, PS Plus Extra games are available indefinitely, although some could be removed after spending a few months on the service.

April 2025 has a few exciting new PS Plus games, including two Day One titles. Among the highest-rated games of 2025, Blue Prince is a must-play for pretty much any puzzle or strategy fan. Set in a mysterious manor that resets its floor plan daily, players have to plan out their route to try and find Room 46. Blue Prince has a cool concept that is executed incredibly well, and its PS Plus Extra debut should ensure that as many people as possible play it.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2 is the month’s other Day One debut, although newcomers should play the first tape that was added to PS Plus a few months ago.

While those two arrivals are big deals in their own right, April 2025’s biggest PS Plus Extra game is undoubtedly Hogwarts Legacy, even though the project has been out for more than two years by this point. Avalanche Software’s magical open-world title is arguably the best Harry Potter game of all time, to the point that most fans of the franchise have likely already given it a try. For people who have been on the fence about journeying to Hogwarts, they can now do so without hesitation.

Although a bit more niche, EA Sports PGA Tour is also a massive get for PS Plus. The golf game is generally regarded as being fantastic. Battlefield 1 and PlateUp! are also pretty great.

All Classic Games That Were Added To PS Plus Premium

Current Month: April 2025 PS Plus Premium (Starting From April 15)

• 1-Month Price: $17.99/month
• 3-Month Price: $49.99
• 12-Month Price: $159.99

PS Plus Premium includes everything available on Sony’s service. Along with Essential and Extra’s games and benefits, this tier includes a classic catalog of PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP games, along with some PS4 remasters. Premium’s monthly additions have been inconsistent so far, and it is not unusual for a month to go by with barely any classic additions to the tier.

Although most lineups contain only a handful of classics, PS Plus Premium has been steadily enhancing its old-school library, particularly when it comes to PSP and PS1 releases. The games might not all be bona fide masterpieces, but the selection covers both well-known and obscure properties. Since June 2024, Sony has begun to add PS VR2 games to PS Plus Premium.

The April 2025 PS Plus Premium lineup has two PlayStation classics: Alone in the Dark 2 and War of the Monsters. While certainly a product of its time that was not particularly well-received, the former might still hit the mark with die-hard horror fans. War of the Monsters is a great kaiju 3D brawler.
