Sony has shared a list of 11 games that will be leaving the Premium and Extra tiers of PlayStation Plus in April 2024. The newly confirmed departures are expected to be removed from the PlayStation Plus library on April 16.
The PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog changes ordinarily occur on the third Tuesday of each month. That's usually when Sony also updates the «Leaving Soon» section of its subscription service. However, this month's PS Plus catalog rotation came and went on March 19 without any such information being shared.
Two days later, the «Leaving Soon» tab has finally been refreshed to reflect the titles that are set to be removed from the service in April 2024. The next wave of PS Plus departures is headlined by Soul Calibur 6, Bandai Namco's critically acclaimed fighting game. The rest of the list mostly comprises niche indie titles. Fans of digital angling only have four more weeks to play Bassmaster Fishing 2022 and Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure as part of their PS Plus subscriptions. Humorous mayhem game Dangerous Golf is also part of next month's departures, as is Saber Interactive's fairly-well received remaster of Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

Based on the average player completion times, Rockfish Games' sci-fi roguelike Everspace is the most content-packed of the newly announced departures. Achievement hunters looking to get the most of their PS Plus subscriptions should ostensibly manage to complete the majority of these titles before they leave the service in April, even if they are yet to start any of them. These 11 games are expected to leave PS Plus Extra and Premium on April 16.
Although Sony typically communicates departures from its subscription service a month in advance, some surprises do occasionally occur. One such exception happened mere days ago, when the Extra and Premium tiers of PS Plus lost three more games than Sony initially announced would be departing from the service in March 2024. That notwithstanding, 11 games are already near the upper limit of what the platform typically loses in any given month, making surprise departures less likely to happen in April.
More news about PlayStation's popular subscription service is likely to follow in a matter of days, as Sony is expected to announce the free PS Plus games for April 2024 on or around March

PlayStation Plus gets a lot of attention for its monthly catalog of rotating titles, but the more persistent library accessible through PS+ Extra and Premium is also a crucial part of the membership. Like Xbox Game Pass, this feature makes it possible to get some major releases on day one without making any individual payment, as well as providing an ever-expanding resource to swell backlogs. So far, 2024 has seen notable additions like and theand remakes, making for an increasingly attractive package.
Mintrocket's is coming to PlayStation Plus on April 16. As its name would suggest, the title follows a professional diver called Dave who catches unique fish during the day to serve at his seaside sushi restaurant at night. The title was released to extremely high acclaim on PC in June 2023, with a Nintendo Switch version released later that year. It sparked some controversy when it was nominated for the "" award at The Game Awards, however, as Mintrocket is a subsidiary of Nexon, Korea's biggest game company, and would have had more funding than most actual Indie developers.
Dave the Diver team Mintrocket has today announced the PS5 and PS4 versions of its 2023 indie hit will release on 16th April 2024, and they'll be available straight away via PS Plus Extra also. Current members of Sony's subscription service will be able to download and play the game without charge, granting them access to the original experience and a bit of Godzilla-themed DLC in May.
Sony has revealed that not only is Dave the Diver coming to PS Plus Extra on its release date of 16th April 2024, but so too is the upcoming Metroidvania title Tales of Kenzera: ZAU. Launching under the EA Originals banner, the promising indie platformer is coming out on 23rd April 2024 for PS5, and PS Plus Extra members gain access that very same day.
PS Stars, or PlayStation Stars, is a free loyalty program for PS5 and PS4 which enables you to earn PS Store credit, free games, and Digital Collectibles. If you're a PS Plus subscriber, then you'll earn additional Points based on each PS Store purchase you make.
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.
The free PlayStation Plus games for April 2024 — Immortals of Aveum, Minecraft Legends, and Skul: The Hero Slayer — are now available for subscribers to download. These free PS Plus games cover a few different genres and should therefore offer something to suite most gamers’ varied interests.
The PS Plus Essential monthly games lineup for April has now been officially confirmed by Sony, offering up yet another trio of treats for subscribers. The titles on offer will be available to claim from Tuesday 2nd April. Here's what you can look forward to in the latest lineup:
Sony has announced the slate of free games arriving on PlayStation Plus in April. The PS Plus monthly games for next month include first-person spell shooter Immortals of Aveum, spinoff strategy title Minecraft Legends and roguelike-action platformer Skul: The Hero Slayer. All three games will be accessible to PS Plus subscribers across Essential, Extra and Deluxe/Premium tiers starting April 2. Sony had also confirmed the games coming to the PS Plus Game Catalog earlier this month, with NBA 2K24, Marvel's Midnight Suns and Resident Evil 3 leading the lineup.
Sony has revealed the three games that will be free for all PlayStation Plus subscribers in the month of May, and a couple of notable names are on the list. For starters, there’s Immortals of Aveum (for PS5 users only), Ascendant Studios’ single player magic FPS. CEO Bret Robins said in November last year that the game would eventually be coming to subscription services, and here it is. Now to see if it also launches for Game Pass.
As is the case every month, PlayStation Plus is changing its roster of games in April, giving players new titles that they can add to their libraries and keep for as long as they're subscribed. PlayStation Plus is divided into three tiers – Essential, Extra, and Premium. While there are some specific perks for the upper tiers, the main difference between them is the number of titles available for players to download or stream from PlayStation's extensive console history.
