PS Plus Unveils One of the Top New Games of 2025

Latest PS Plus Update Highlights

  • Blue Prince joins PS Plus Extra, enhancing the gaming library.
  • This title boasts a commendable overall rating of 90, marking it as one of 2025’s top new releases to date.
  • EA Sports PGA Tour has also been made available prior to the April 15 update, which will introduce an additional range of Extra and Premium games.

The most recent update to PlayStation Plus has introduced Blue Prince, a new title that has already captured attention as one of the highest-rated games of 2025, accessible to subscribers of the Extra and Premium tiers. Although PS Plus updates are typically rolled out on Tuesdays, a noteworthy exception occurred for Blue Prince, as its launch coincided with its addition to the PS Plus Extra service on a Thursday.

Subscribers of the PS Plus Extra tier benefit from a rotating selection of both PS4 and PS5 titles, while those with PS Plus Premium enjoy all the advantages of Extra alongside a catalog of classic games from earlier PlayStation consoles. The addition of Blue Prince now provides these subscribers with two fresh gaming options, alongside the forthcoming April 15 update.

Available to play immediately, Blue Prince has received acclaim from both critics and players alike, being heralded as potentially one of the finest puzzle games in recent memory. With an impressive overall rating of 90 on OpenCritic, it stands proudly among 2025’s notable new releases. This places it in a tie with Split Fiction, the cooperative game from Hazelight Studios that has also garnered high praise.

In addition to Blue Prince, EA Sports PGA Tour has also been introduced to the PS Plus Extra tier. While Blue Prince was confirmed for an April 10 launch, EA Sports PGA Tour’s earlier than anticipated inclusion provides Extra and Premium subscribers with two exciting titles to explore as they await additional updates on April 15.

When Tuesday, April 15 arrives, subscribers to the PS Plus Extra tier can look forward to receiving an even greater selection of games. Notable titles include Battlefield 1, Hogwarts Legacy, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2, and PlateUp. This lineup features Hogwarts Legacy, which was the top-selling game of 2023, and Battlefield 1, celebrated for its positive reception, while Lost Records makes its debut release alongside PlateUp, known for its fun co-op chaos. Collectively, this promising roster sets the stage for an impressive month of gaming on PlayStation Plus.

In addition to these exciting new titles, Extra and Premium subscribers can also enjoy the monthly selection of complimentary PS Plus games included in the Essential tier. For April 2025, these titles are RoboCop: Rogue City, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory.
