The April transition for PlayStation Plus is shaping up to be one of the most balanced months in recent memory. Sony has confirmed that starting Tuesday, April 7, members can add a trio of heavy-hitting titles to their permanent libraries. Whether you are a fan of punishing dark fantasy, classic 90s platforming, or massive anime raids, this month’s selection offers a little something for everyone.
The Headliners: From Umbral Realms to Ancient Tombs
Lords of the Fallen (PS5)
Leading the charge is the 2023 reboot of Lords of the Fallen. This soulslike adventure is set in a sprawling, interconnected world that is five times larger than its 2014 predecessor. The standout feature here is the dual-world mechanic: players must navigate the realm of the living (Axiom) and the terrifying world of the dead (Umbral) simultaneously to solve puzzles and defeat colossal bosses. With nine character classes and deep customization, it’s a perfect pick for those who have already conquered Elden Ring and are looking for their next challenge.
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (PS4, PS5)
For those looking for a dose of nostalgia, the inclusion of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is a significant win. This collection brings Lara Croft’s original three adventures to modern hardware, complete with all expansions and secret levels. While the graphics have been lovingly upgraded, purists can toggle back to the original polygonal look with a single button press. The remaster also introduces a new Challenge Mode and unlockable outfits that provide gameplay buffs, giving even veterans a reason to dive back into the Peruvian jungles and Greek ruins.
Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream (PS5)
Rounding out the trio is Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream. This title breaks away from traditional SAO games by focusing on a massive 20-player co-op experience. Players choose from 21 iconic characters across the series' history to fix a distorted timeline in ALfheim Online. If you enjoy large-scale raid battles and fast-paced anime action, this is a must-download.
Last Call for March Titles
As we look forward to April 7, the clock is ticking for the current lineup. You have until Monday, April 6, to claim the March 2026 games. Once added to your library, they are yours to keep as long as you have an active subscription.
The departing titles include:
- Monster Hunter Rise (PS4, PS5): The acclaimed action-RPG featuring massive hunts and the Wirebug mechanic.
- PGA Tour 2K25 (PS5): The latest in realistic golf simulation.
- Slime Rancher 2 (PS5): A colorful, relaxing exploration and farming sequel.
- The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road (PS4, PS5): A massive expansion for the long-running MMO.
Essential Details for April
