April’s PlayStation Plus Essential Games Have Been Revealed

New games!

PlayStation has revealed the line-up of games that PlayStation Plus Essential (and beyond) subscribers will be able to add to their libraries in April, and it’s a neat little trio that’s headlined by the excellent but sorely-underplayed Immortals of Aveum.

These games will become available to PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Deluxe subscribers later in the day on Tuesday, April 2nd so you’ll have until then to claim the current titles of F1 23, Sifu, Hello Neighbor 2 and Destiny 2: Witch Queen.

Take a look at what’s coming below:
