Tomb Raider I‑III Remastered on PS Plus: the cult trilogy not to be missed in April
Heart of the month of April, Tomb Raider I‑III Remastered brings together the first three episodes released between 1996 and 1998, remastered with modernized graphics. The compilation allows you to switch on the fly between the original PS1-style look and the new visuals, ideal for measuring the work done and playing the nostalgia card.
As a bonus, the expansions and additional levels from the period are integrated, which really transforms this “free game” into a real Lara Croft box set. The controls and backups have been adapted to current standards, while leaving the possibility of finding the more rigid sensations of origin for purists.
If you are new to the license, the recommended sequence remains simple: start with the first tomb Raider to lay the foundations, then move on to 2, often considered the most accomplished of the trilogy. 3 is to be reserved for players who want a more challenging challenge. This release comes at the perfect time to get back into the world of tomb Raider before the next episode expected in 2026.
PS4 or PS5: which April 2026 PS Plus game is right for you before May 4?
This month of April confirms the shift taken by Sony towards the new generation. As PlayStation Lifestyle reminds us, “the company is reportedly focusing on PS5 games from 2026” and this is clearly seen here with two PS5-only games. Tomb Raider I‑III Remastered is the only title playable on PS4.
On PS5, Lords of the Fallen (2023) targets souls like fans with a world approximately five times larger than the original, nine playable classes, hundreds of weapons and progression between two parallel planes, Axiom and Umbral. Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream rather targets anime and co-op fans, with 21 characters from the different SAO arcs and raids for up to 20 players.
If you stay on PS4 and use the service often, the PlayStation Plus Extra tier remains the most interesting over time, with the monthly Essential focusing more and more on the PS5. In any case, don’t delay: you have until May 4 to lock these 5 adventures in your library.
