PS Plus' monthly free games have been a long-standing tradition, and even outlasted the competition – Xbox’s Games with Gold was phased out alongside the Xbox Live brand. More recently, though,PlayStation Plus' more expensive tierswere introduced as a direct competitor to Xbox Game Pass, supplying a rotating catalog of games to download on demand. While PS Plus' monthly games are up and down in terms of quality, there’s usually something that might be of at least passing interest, and April 2025’s new games are no different.
Every Game Coming To PS Plus Essential Tier In April 2025
Monthly Games Available April 1
April 2025’s PlayStation Plus Essential lineupis quite an eclectic selection:RoboCop: Rogue City,The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, andDigimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory. According to thePlayStation Blog, all three of these games will be available for download at no additional cost starting April 1, and can be claimed until May 5. None of these are necessarily blockbuster additions to the service, especially compared to last month’ssurprising inclusion ofDragon Age: The Veilguard, but they’re all notably part of popular franchises.
“A Great Game & Everything An Adaptation Could Wish For” - RoboCop: Rogue City Review
Robocop: Rogue City delivers an inspired and enthusiastic take on the classic franchise, even if some of its budgetary constraints are apparent.
RoboCop: RogueCitytakes place between the events of theRoboCop 2andRoboCop 3films, and delightfully sees Peter Weller reprising his role and voicing the protagonist. Similarly,The Texas Chain Saw Massacreis set prior to the original 1974 film, and even though the asymmetrical multiplayer title is light on story, it builds on the backstory of the iconic Leatherface’s family.Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memoryis the sixth installment of theDigimon Storyseries, but a direct follow-up toDigimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.
