Free PS Plus Essential Games for April 2025
Sony revealed the April PlayStation Plus lineup Wednesday. All three free titles go live next Tuesday, April 1st. It’s a pretty fun lineup, following an equally strong offering last month, which included (much to everyone’s surprise) Dragon Age: The Veilguard, as well as Sonic Colors Ultimate and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. You have until March 31st to claim those titles.
April’s lineup includes three games with almost identical Metacritic scores. All three will be availabe until May 5th.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory (PS4)
I’ve never really gotten into the Digimon universe, but if you like collecting Digimon while solving a dire mystery this one’s for you. Digimon are basically digital Pokemon, more or less, though not part of that franchise.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (PS4 / PS5)
An asymmetrical horror-survival game pitting members of the Slaughter Family against their hapless victims. Victims are forced to use stealth and their wits to evade the terrifying hunters. The game is based on the classic 1974 film and while I still have yet to play it, I’ve heard great things.

RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5)
A violent, futuristic first-person shooter based on the classic films, you take on the responsibilities of the part man, part machine cyborg super-cop in Old Detroit. While the game is a bit janky, it’s actually quite fun especially if you’re a fan of the movie franchise.
