Lords of the Fallen

The headline PlayStation Plus monthly game for April is Lords of the Fallen. The brutal souls-like joins the PS Plus catalogue ahead of the release of Lords of the Fallen 2 this year.

Set in a dark fantasy world, the RPG sees you take on the role of a Dark Crusader on the hunt for a demon god. Traverse the parallel worlds of the living and the dead, both with their own pathways, secrets, and enemies. Engage in challenging combat 100s of unique weapons as well as special arcane attacks. If you enjoy the punishing nature of the genre FromSoftware pioneered, then you’re sure to like Lords of the Fallen.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream

• Release Date: October 4, 2024
• Platform: PS5

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a large-scale multiplayer action RPG that celebrates the franchise’s 10th anniversary by merging timelines from across the entire series.

The game centers on the malfunction of a new system called “Galaxia,” which causes past and present to collide, forcing iconic heroes and former villains to work together. While the title does feature a single-player story mode, the intended experience leans more towards multiplayer.

In fact, one of Fractured Daydream’s standout features is a 20-player co-op raid, where teams of four unite to take down massive, high-difficulty bosses in real-time combat. Outside of this, you can also check out the Free Roam mode for exploring and treasure hunting with your friends.

Tomb Raider I–III Remastered

• Release Date: February 13, 2024
• Platforms: PS5, PS4

Tomb Raider I–III Remastered is a compilation of the PS1 classics that turned Lara Croft into a household name. Developed by Aspyr, all three games have been given the remastered treatment, complete with modern control schemes, a lock-on system, dozens of QoL improvements, and even a photo mode. Checking out the OG trilogy is the best way to prepare for the upcoming Tomb Raider Catalyst.

While 2025 is firmly in the rearview mirror, it’s still worth taking a look at the PS Plus free games released last year, as well as the offerings in 2026 so far. Also, check out the full games release calendar of 2026 to know which games you can expect in PlayStation Plus as well.

In the broader catalogue, you’ll find first-party classics such as God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 1 & Part 2, alongside third-party hits like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption, and more. The list is frequently refreshed with some of the best PS5 games available on the market.

PS Plus Subscription Prices to Access Free Games

Over the past few years, the PlayStation Plus service has evolved into a multi-tier model, with each level offering unique benefits. You’ll get free games and online features such as cloud saves across all tiers, but there are some differences to take note of.

Starting at the entry level, the PS Plus Essential tier offers online multiplayer features, access to exclusive sales, and monthly games. The slightly more expensive PS Plus Extra tier lets you access the expansive games catalogue, as well as a selection of Ubisoft titles.

Finally, PS Plus Premium serves up the complete package, including a Classics Catalogue (Games from the PS1 and PS2 era) and exclusive game trials for the latest titles.

And now, here are the subscription prices for all PlayStation Plus tiers:
