April brings not only spring fever and Easter joy, but also new gifts for PlayStation fans. Sony is once again providing all subscribers to the PS Plus Essential service with fresh games that will land in their personal game library at no additional cost. This time, the games are dark, nostalgic and tactical. But which game has what it takes to be the hit of the month?
Three titles, three worlds – what awaits you in April
Sony remains true to itself in April, too, and delivers three new free games for PS Plus members. If you have booked the Essential tariff or a higher level such as Extra or Premium, you can add the new additions directly to your library on the PlayStation Network. The offer is valid from April 1 – but only for as long as the subscription is active.
At first glance, the selection could hardly be more different: With “Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker’s Memory”, a charming JRPG awaits you, taking you to a digital parallel world. Here you fight against hackers and digital threats with trained Digimon – ideal for fans of classic monster adventures with strategic depth.
It’s much tougher in This asymmetrical multiplayer game offers pure thrills: one player takes on the role of a notorious killer, while the others fight for their very survival. Suspense is inevitable here – especially in the online mode with friends.
If you are in the mood for a dark game of cat and mouse or want to play detective in digital worlds, you’ve come to the right place. But one very special title is sure to be the talk of the town in April and will have retro fans sitting up and taking notice…
RoboCop as a star – the highlight for PS5 games
With “RoboCop: Rogue City”, a true 80s icon returns to the screens – in a detailed shooter that has been specially polished for the PS5. The developers at Teyon have visibly endeavored to transfer the flair of the cult sci-fi movie to the modern gaming world. Between neon lights and gang violence, you play as a half-human, half-machine crime fighter – with the original voice of Peter Weller.
The gameplay combines precise shooting with classic investigative tasks. Instead of pure action, you are immersed in a dark, dystopian future in which decisions have consequences. Players experience not only nostalgic moments, but also a surprising amount of depth and atmosphere.
Another plus: “Rogue City” not only offers fan service, but also impresses technically. Smooth frame rates, high-quality graphics and well-thought-out level design make the title a real insider tip in the PS Plus offering. Those who liked the classic will find a modern love letter to the original here.
Whether it’s horror, role-playing or retro shooters – the April line-up once again shows how diverse the PlayStation Plus offering can be. Those who grab it now not only expand their collection, but may also discover their next gaming favorite.
