It's been confirmed that SteamWorld Heist 2 will be a day one Xbox Game Pass game when it releases on August 8. Xbox Game Pass has had an impressive year so far, kicking things off with the smash hit Palworld and keeping the momentum going strong with a steady string of high-quality day one releases. Luckily for subscribers, there's no sign that Xbox Game Pass' momentum is slowing down anytime soon.
PS Plus Extra Confirms 2 Surprise Games for April 2024, Including Day One Release
02.04.2024 - 19:12 / gamerant.com / Playstation Plus / Dalton Cooper
Those subscribed to the Extra and Premium tiers of PlayStation Plus have two more games to look forward to this month, including day one release Tales of Kenzera: Zau. Sony has established many patterns when it comes to its PlayStation Plus announcement, and so many fans were not expecting to learn about any upcoming PS Plus Extra or Premium games for at least another week or so.
Typically, the new PS Plus Extra and Premium games are announced in the middle of the month. It's highly likely that the new PS Plus Extra and Premium games will be fully revealed next week and then added on Tuesday, April 16. While PS Plus subscribers wait to learn about the full lineup of games coming in April 2024, they will want to take note of two titles that were surprise-announced for the service.
To the surprise of many, Sony has announced Dave the Diver for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers on April 16, while day one game Tales of Kenzera: Zau is coming on April 23. Dave the Diver is an award-winning, critically-acclaimed game that has players exploring the ocean and managing a restaurant. It was originally only available on PC before making its way to the Switch, and now Dave the Diver is coming to PlayStation. Tales of Kenzera: Zau, meanwhile, is a 2.5D Metroidvania game with a focus on platforming and combat. Its gameplay doesn't look unlike the recently-released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, so it will be exciting to see how it stacks up.
When it comes to the new PS Plus Extra and Premium games for April 2024, Dave the Diver and Tales of Kenzera: Zau are likely just the tip of the iceberg. A bigger announcement will almost certainly come at some point next week, giving fans the full rundown of what they can expect. In the meantime, a leak has potentially confirmed that Star Wars: Rebel Assault 2 — The Hidden Empire is coming to PS Plus Premium, so between that and the recent surprise announcements from Sony, the new additions for April 2024 are taking shape ahead of time.
There should be plenty of new content for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers to check out in April 2024, but subscribers should also take note of the games leaving this month as well. There are at least 11 games leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium in April, so subscribers should consider prioritizing those if they want to play them before they're gone.
