PlayStation Plus free games for April 2024 have been announced, with three upcoming free titles for players to sink some hours into.
As April begins with heavy downpours signifying the start of Spring in North America, PlayStation Plus members can look forward to playing new games that are being added to its catalogue as they get away from all the rain outside.
PlayStation Plus is Sony’s game subscription service that gives gamers access to a plethora of games to download or stream. Each month, the library gets updated with new games much like other subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass.
There are three tiers to PlayStation Plus membership: Essential, Extra, and Premium. Essential is the basic package that gives players online access, cloud storage, exclusive discounts, plus access to some monthly games. This tier also gives one free PS5 and two free PS4 games each month. The Extra tier expands the library, giving more modern titles, while the Premium tier gives gamers access to the Classic Catalogue, which includes titles from PS3, PS2, PSP and the original PlayStation.
With all that said, what games are PlayStation Plus members getting for free this month? Let’s delve into it.
