PS Plus games April 2026: what is the official list on PS4 and PS5?
The monthly selection only has three titles, but each one targets a very distinct player profile.
- Lords of the Fallen (PS5): Dark Soulslike action-RPG, rated 8/10 by IGN, with a central dual-world mechanic.
- Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (PS4 / PS5): compilation of the first three tomb Raider with expansions, secrets and instant switching between modern graphics and PS1 look.
- Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream (PS5): cooperative action-RPG based on the anime, playable solo or in raids for up to 20 players.
PS Plus April 2026: why can this line-up be worth your month’s subscription?
Lords of the Fallen is clearly the star of the month for fans of Dark Souls. This 2023 Soulslike, largely stabilized by several updates, makes you alternate between two realities of the same world to solve puzzles and defeat formidable enemies. IGN gave it a score of 8/10, praising this idea of a double world which sets it apart from other games of the genre.
For his part, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered plays the heritage card. The pack brings together the three founding episodes of the saga with all their extensions, hidden levels and above all a button to instantly switch from the new graphics to the period low-poly image. A recent update added cosmetics that caused debate, but publisher Aspyr assures that they “were created by our team of artists” and the restoration work remains very appreciated.
Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream finally completes the selection on the multiplayer side. This action-RPG from Bandai Namco and Dimps allows you to chain raids with up to 20 players, with more than twenty playable characters, while remaining perfectly playable solo for those who are discovering the anime universe.
