Rockstar Games has announced it's joining EA in raising the price of its GTA+ subscription service, from £4.99 / $5.99 per month to £6.99 / $7.99. Representing a 40 per cent increase in the UK, new users will immediately be charged the new price while existing members will begin paying extra from 11th June 2024. Since GTA+ only offers users monthly memberships, there's no way to save a bit of money with a 12-month commitment to the service.
3 New PS Plus Essential Games Up for Download Now on PS5, PS4 | Push Square
03.04.2024 - 00:19 / pushsquare.com / Derby County / Minecraft
The monthly PS Plus Essential update has arrived, granting all members of Sony's subscription service access to three new PS5, PS4 titles. They're available to download now across the UK and Europe, and availability will spread to the USA later on in the day. Here's what can be redeemed between now and Tuesday, 7th May 2024:
As the standout title of the month, Immortals of Aveum is presented with a second lease of life as it becomes available to all PS Plus subscribers. In our Immortals of Aveum PS5 review, we awarded the game a 6/10 and praised its semi-open world approach, satisfying shooting, and some impressive visuals. Since release last year, the PS5 title has been updated with more endgame content and a New Game+ option.
Minecraft Legends, meanwhile, is designed for the younger audience and turns Minecraft into a strategy game. «It has a lot of heart and can be a good bit of fun, provided your expectations are properly calibrated,» our Minecraft Legends PS5 review concluded.
As always, we polled the Push Square audience on its thoughts concerning this new PS Plus update. 45 per cent of you responded by saying «it's a crap selection» for April 2024, with little in the way of overall positivity to share. Immortals of Aveum is the game you want to play most, but the majority of users simply said none of them are very exciting prospects. Do you feel any differently? Let us know in the comments below.
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
Just read that Immortals will be getting a patch including HDR and some more stuff in a couple of weeks so it might be worth waiting for that if you plan on playing it
@mac_da_man nice. Thanks for the tip!
When the 'stand out' game is a middling 6/10 it's not a great month.
Not every month has to be a winner, but the quality has declined since the golden years of PS+
Immortals of Aveum is a ton of fun. It’s a seven but it does all it needs to. Well worth the time to play it.
I urge those that haven't played Immortals to give it a shot. Genuinely good game with a novel concept and I'm really enjoying it, and definitely feel it deserved better than it got at launch. Hopefully it can see a bit of success now it's on PS Plus, and HDR will do wonders for the visuals.
@Muttt I wasn’t a PS gamer back then, and I believe you. When, would you say, ended this Golden Age? At the end of 2018, when offline play for PS Now started?
This months games are exactly what I hope with PS Essential because they are titles that piqued my interest but not enough to buy. if I don't like them I've
