PS Plus free games: New games revealed for April 2025

Digimon and JRPG fans are well-served too!

Sadly, as is always the case, some games will be disappearing, but there is still some time to claim them before March ends.

If you've already saved some money from using one of our PlayStation 5 Deals, PS Plus offers even more value, as quite often the games included well exceed how much the monthly subscription is.

On that, we have more details about PS Plus as well if you want to see what other goodies are in store for you!

PS Plus free games for April 2025 confirmed

PS Plus Essential members will get the following free games from 1st April until 5th May 2025:

• RoboCop: Rogue City
• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
• Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory

RoboCop: Rogue City is a great romp through Detroit that takes place between the second and third movies in the film franchise, and we had a blast (as did criminals to the face) with it when it first released. For no extra cost, it's a no-brainer to try this one out.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fun asymmetrical horror game that sees players donning the leather mask or running from it. Though the evenings are getting longer and spring is in the air, there's still ample darkness for a little early Halloween fun.

Pokémon schmokémon - this month is all about digital monsters with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory. First released in 2017, this RPG sees Keisuke Amasawa delving into the Digital World seeking their innocence after being framed for a crime they didn't commit.

What's leaving PS Plus this month?

The Essential games for March, listed below, stop being available to claim after 31st March.

• Dragon Age: The Veilguard
• Sonic Colors
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection

What do you get with the other PS Plus tiers?

Even more games are available with the higher tiers of PlayStation Plus (Extra and Premium). We're still unsure what else will be added to the other tiers, but we got plenty of new games recently.

As soon as the list appears, we'll be sure to update the page with the latest information.

What to play on PS Plus – our recommendations

If you're looking for some other great games to play in the PS Plus Game Catalogue, we'd recommend these ones for sure:

• Control: Ultimate Edition
• Death Stranding Director's Cut (PS5)
• Days Gone (PS4)
• Demon's Souls (PS5)
• DOOM Eternal (PS4, PS5)
• Horizon Forbidden West (PS4, PS5)

As well as all the games included in the other tiers, PS Plus Premium lets you download and play older titles from PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP to harken back to a simpler time and relive your younger years.

PS3 games are only available via cloud streaming and this is region-dependent, but the UK is included in this list so we don't miss out.

See below for a selection of classics you can revisit:

• Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1)
• Ridge Racer Type 4 (PS1)
  
• Resident Evil Director's Cut (PS1)
• The Jak and Dexter series (PS2)
• Dark Cloud (PS2)
• The God of War Collection and God of War Ascension (PS3)
• inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 (PS3)
• Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice (PSP)
• Killzone: Liberation (PSP)

As a PS Plus Premium subscriber, you also have access to time-limited trials, which lets you try before you buy and download a full game and play it for a set amount of time. The length of the trial varies depending on the game.

What’s also great here is that the progress you make on these trials will carry over if you end up buying the full game. We’ve got a selection of just a few below.

• A Plague Tale: Requiem – Two hours
• Baldur's Gate 3 – Two hours
• Cyberpunk 2077 – Five hours
• God of War Ragnarok – Three hours
• The Last of Us: Part I – Two hours
• Hogwarts Legacy – 45 minutes
• Spider-Man 2 - Two hours

As you can see, longer RPGs and story titles get longer trials, so you can get a good sense of what you’re getting into before you fish out your wallet. Make sure to check out our more comprehensive list of all PS Plus games so you don't miss out on any games you've been meaning to play.

And that's your lot! We'll update this page as and when new PS Plus games are announced. For more info, check out our guide to the latest PS Plus offers to walk away with some cheap deals on the subscription.
