Sony has unveiled its exciting lineup of games for PlayStation Plus this April, offering subscribers a fantastic selection they won’t want to miss. With familiar favorites making a return alongside some exhilarating new titles debuting as day-one releases, the offerings are set to captivate gamers and expand the service’s ever-growing catalog.
According to the official PlayStation Blog, one of the standout titles is Hogwarts Legacy, the beloved and at times controversial game that transports players to the magical setting of Hogwarts, where they can master spell-casting, forge friendships, and confront various threats to the Wizarding World. Another eagerly awaited addition is the acclaimed puzzle adventure Blue Prince, crafted by the indie developer Dogubomb. The April lineup also features titles such as Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2, EA Sports PGA Tour, Battlefield 1, and PlateUp!. Additionally, Premium members can enjoy classics like Alone in the Dark 2 and War of the Monsters.
Upcoming Titles for PS Plus in April 2025
Diverse Genres Among New Releases
This April, players can look forward to a host of new experiences. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2 will be released with day-one access on April 15, following its predecessor, simply titled Bloom, which debuted in February. This narrative-driven game intricately weaves sci-fi elements with surrealism as players venture through different time periods to uncover the secrets of Velvet Cove, Michigan.
Golf enthusiasts will be thrilled with EA Sports PGA Tour, featuring 30 courses and a customizable golfer, along with new Shot Types designed to enhance gameplay and elevate players toward winning a Major Championship. If action is more your style, Battlefield 1 offers intense warfare scenarios in diverse environments, allowing up to 64 players to collaborate in epic battles.
For those looking to combine strategy and creativity, PlateUp! invites participants to build and manage their restaurant, tackling the challenges of running a bustling eatery with up to four players. While some titles like Blue Prince, Bloom & Rage – Tape 2, and EA Sports PGA Tour are exclusive to the PS5, Battlefield 1 is available only on the PS4, with the rest of the selections compatible across both platforms.
Blue Prince: Anticipated for a Successful Launch
Positive Reviews Preceding Launch
Among the new games scheduled for PlayStation Plus in April, Blue Prince stands out as the most highly anticipated. Players assume the role of an heir to the enigmatic Mt. Holly Mansion, embarking on a quest to uncover the secrets of Room 46 within the ever-evolving estate, where each discovery reveals hints of a dark history.
As with Bloom & Rage Tape 2, Blue Prince will launch on the same day it becomes available, significantly heightening interest in its release. The inclusion of Blue Prince in PlayStation Plus allows players to dive into this new title without incurring additional costs, significantly broadening its appeal and potentially drawing new subscribers to Sony’s service. With strong potential to be a defining release of 2025, gaming enthusiasts are eager to see how Blue Prince will resonate with players upon its debut.
