Sony has officially revealed the three games coming to the Premium tier of the PlayStation Plus subscription service on April 16, all of which originally debuted on the PS1.

CRKD introduced the Nitro Deck last year, a Nintendo Switch accessory that aims to enhance the experience you have with your console when using it in handheld that also doubles as a Switch Pro controller.

Microsoft have announced April's new arrivals for the Game Pass subscription service, and it includes a cute game about being an alligator, a cute game about gardening, a cute game about fleeing a doomed planet in search of a new home among the stars, and also EA Sports PGA Tour, I guess.

Both Dave the Diver and Tales of Kenzera: ZAU will launch for PlayStation 5 this month, and both will included in PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra’s Game Catalog from day one.

Sony's official update on additions to PS Plus Extra and Premium usually arrive a couple of weeks into a given month, but it looks like one of April's retro classics has already been discovered.

Overwatch 2 Season 10 kicks off next month, but if you want to try out the season’s hew hero Venture early, you can do it this weekend. Venture, who Blizzard is touting at their first non-binary character, is a Damage hero and, overall, one of the more unique-looking characters Blizzard has served up thus far. Basically, they can burrow under the ground ala Bugs Bunny (or Mario in his Drill Suit I suppose) allowing them to sneak behind enemy lines then burst out to deal damage. You can check Venture out in action, below.

Activision has revealed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's next free trial begins on April 4, when new users can play on a variety of maps and modes. The news comes as part of the recent reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Season 3 update, which launches on April 3 just before the trial.

It seems as though the PlayStation 1 game Star Wars: Rebel Assault 2 — The Hidden Empire is coming to the Premium tier of PlayStation Plus in April 2024.
