Fortnite players aren't too happy about this year's Star Wars event, as they think that there's not enough content added to the Battle Royale mode compared to how much has been put into Lego Fortnite.

16 more games are heading to PS Plus through the Extra and Premium tiers this month, and as is often the case, there's quite a lot of variety on show. April's offering is headlined by not one, not two, but three brand new releases on PS5 and PS4: the incredibly highly rated Dave the Diver, the promising Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, and Animal Well. Although technically, ZAU is out a little later in the month, and Animal Well is out in May.
Still, we're off to a good start, with other notable Extra titles being The Crew 2, Construction Simulator, and Deliver Us Mars. Meanwhile, on the Premium side, we've got a trio of PS1 games: Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire, and the original MediEvil (which is a questionable inclusion, seeing as MediEvil was faithfully remade on PS4 just a few years ago).
Let's dive in
All PS5, PS4 games lists for PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium
As always, we want to know if you're pleased with the latest PS Plus selection. So get voting in our polls, and then give us an honest opinion in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
My plus expired and I'm still debating whether to renew with premium or drop down to extra. I was really hoping we'd have PS2 titles in the mix by now to justify the price hike but it seems like everyone is raising the price on everything just because they can.
Never been a fan of premium but this month on extra is a steal.
To add to the MediEvil remake invalidating the original release (which I didn't actually agree with, per se), the original release is actually an unlockable in the remake. So… probably just buy the remake, I reckon. (Incidentally, this is exactly why developers don't dump old ROMs as unlockables anymore.)
Dave the Diver and Deliver Us Mars makes this a great value for the month. Plus I get to try Animal Well.
@RoomWithaMoose The 2019 MediEvil remake only includes the PAL version of the original (which doesn't affect majority of the site readers admittedly) but the lower frames than NTSC original is a downer. The PS1 re-release will also come with trophies so, there's a perk to those wanting 3 MediEvil platinums.
Dave the Diver, MediEvil and Alone in the Dark for me.
At this point they've added almost every PS1 game that I was asking for when this first launched. Vagrant Story is the only one missing.
I've been looking forward to Tales of Kenzera since it was announced. So

Some Fortnite players are currently taking to social media to voice their displeasure with the game's recently leaked UI changes. The upcoming interface revamp appears to revolve around a new version of the Fortnite lobby.
For all you democracy dealers out there, a brand new Warbond is soon to join Helldivers 2, giving you yet more rewards to earn. Launching on 9th May, Polar Patriots is its name, and this snowy-themed Warbond is frozen over with cool new stuff.
Following yesterday's launch of Sea of Thieves on PS5, Microsoft has now delivered on its initial multi-platform promise to bring some of its exclusive Xbox experiences to new consoles. Having made the surprise announcement in February, the firm has brought Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Grounded, and the aforementioned seafaring adventure to PS5, PS4 boxes as well as Nintendo Switch. During the presentation that revealed Microsoft's multi-platform plans, Phil Spencer and his team refused to discuss any efforts beyond those four titles. Is that it, then? Will Microsoft now return to releasing first-party titles exclusively for Xbox Series X|S and PC? Those questions can't be answered definitively yet, but probably not.
Reviews are in for the latest upcoming day-one Xbox Game Pass game, and they're largely positive. It looks like JRPG fans that are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass will be in for a treat when the newest addition to the catalog gets added on April 23. Microsoft has been on a bit of a roll recently when it comes to supplying subscribers with a steady stream of quality games, and this only continues that trend.
If the new Alone in the Dark PS5 reboot has given you a classic survival horror itch, then Sony's subscription service PS Plus Premium is looking to scratch it. Available from Tuesday, 16th April 2024, the old PS1 terror Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare will be available to members on the top tier, complete with all the bells and whistles that come with the re-releases Sony accepts on the service. It's joined by MediEvil and Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire on the same day.
In a game of exceedingly well-written characters like Baldur's Gate 3, the sadistic and sexually suggestive vampire spawn Astarion manages to stand out. But despite developer Larian Studios clearly signalling that it is moving on from the game and away from the series, Astarion actor Neil Newbon isn't quite ready to follow suit.

Sony is clearing up space for new additions to the PS Plus Service. Unfortunately, that means PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium members will lose access to some incredible titles, including a number of Final Fantasy entries and popular indie hits.
The PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog is expanding to include 14 new games today. The April 2024 additions to PS Plus even include one day-one release.
Microsoft has announced the second wave of April 2024 Xbox Game Pass additions. The upcoming batch consists of six titles, some of which will only be available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
Honkai: Star Rail players have voiced their frustration over the game's relic system, claiming it's unrewarding and restrictive. There are two types of relic sets in Honkai: Star Rail, Planar Ornaments and Cavern Relics. Planar Ornaments, which can be placed in the Planar Sphere and Link Rope slots, serve as additional gear and provide some rare stats. Cavern Relics, on the other hand, boost the character's main stats like HP and ATK. Unlike Planar Ornaments, they have a 4-piece effect that makes the wearer even more powerful.
