  • Slay the Spire is decent, but honestly works best as a mobile game. Another bad month.

  • I love free games 🎮 ♥️ 🤓

  • These aren’t the best but whatever

  • This month is totally crap, won’t even keep one of them. Been on PSN for many years but this selection of games is the worst of them all. If this is the best Playstation can do then we all are in big trouble. Thank God for my Game pass on Xbox

  • Excited for SpongeBob XD

  • Спасибо большое. А русским угнетателям когда можно будет игры получить?

  • Three greeeaat games for earning trophies, thank you sony!

  • Slay the Spire has 46 trophies to earn

    SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated has 33 trophies to earn

    Hood: Outlaws and Legends has 45+ trophies to earn

    Trophies are very important but i dont know about you!
    Where is fun in game without trophies today.

    This April great months for trophies
    100+ trophies to earn this ps plus games in April!

    Lucky me i do have fun ! Do you .

  • This is just awful

  • With the new service what happens if im already subscribed to both and auto renew ?

  • Two words: shape up!

  • I’ve been a PS+ subscriber since its inception, and I don’t know whether it’s justified to say this is a bad line-up given the annual fee more than covers the cost of everything I get back. All I know is that PlayStation Plus is a shadow of its former self, no longer something I look forward to and I’ll probably let it expire later this year. The higher tiers of the replacement subscription system don’t interest me because I have a job and a life and don’t really have the time to play that many games.

    • You really think they deliver 60 dollars worth of content these days? Maybe like 20. At best.

    • job and life bit aside this is me. i’ve been subbed for just as long and its definitely alot worse than it used to be , less games and of lesser quality overall on average for the last few years i don’t plan to reup either … n remember when online was free on ps3 not them forcing you to have plus? those were better times

  • I remember the launch trailer for Hood and thinking that it looked good, then I forgot about it so I’m looking forwards to that. Sponge Bob might be OK. I’ll probably never download “Attack the Spire” it looks awful. In the words of Mr & Mrs Loaf’s son, Meat, “2 out of 3 ain’t bad”.

    • while not everyone’s tastes are the same slay the spire is arguably the best game on this months offerings :/

  • More games not even worth adding to my list. Yay.

  • Oh and yes, the monthly games we get are the main reason I have very little faith in these higher tier services. I mean are they just going to be loaded with random junk, putting any sense of quality on the back burner? Yeah, probably.

  • The average age of gamers is over 30, with 50% of all gamers being over 30. Just what is/was the intended audience for Spongebob game, certainly doesnt feel like me or any of the gamers I know.

    This for me is another bad month, games I’ll never play. Why we have to pay so much just to play online I’ll never understand.

  • You all don’t like SpongeBob, do you?

  • what a pile of crap.

  • Many of you are either Xbots, or unsatisfayable gamers who don’t believe in change. The people who also look at PS Plus premium and not thinking about the long term and it’s price compared to what Game Pass Ultimate would cost for one year, are obviously haters who failed their math classes.

  • I might just have to leave playstation alone after this one

  • its cause of months like this i don’t plan to reup my ps+ when it runs out. another subpar multiplayer game , a spongebob game ( no thanks!), and a good indie game thats been around for a good 3 years or so that i already own on pc ( as do most ppl interested in it probably)

  • Community when low-tier games are in PS+ : “These are terrible! Such a bad month!”

    Community when high-tier games are in PS+ : “I already bought this! Such a bad month!”

    You just can’t please some people lol I haven’t played any of these so I’m looking forward to trying them out (I’ve heard good to great things about all 3 of them).

    • Personally I put over 1500 hours in StS so obviously I will endorse it.

    • Some people prefer games that are in fact not mediocre and not constantly on sale. Do you not understand why? You do realize requiring Plus for multiplayer is just a surcharge and therefore they should do a decent job with game selection, do you not? Oh and that they used to do just that?

    • So you speak for more than yourself when calling these games mediocre?

      Look, not everyone is going to like every offering they give but it isn’t like Sony fails to deliver. If I go to a store to buy bread then I expect to be sold bread. The store fulfilled their part and no longer are obligated to provide me with anything else.

      Sony PS+ provides multiplayer, 2 games a month and exclusive discounts. You don’t have to like the games but they do provide what is promised

  • The Sony option means years and years of renting games (costing hundreds) that you’ll lose access to at some point.

    Other current option is actually owning the games (usually cheap on auction sites, ignoring the obvious other “free” way) downloading an emulator (you can run one on a phone) and having unlimited free access, better textures, language patches, upscaling, filtering, save states, online multiplayer, any region games, etc etc.

    Sony should have just sold an official emulator or the games. Right now the value is completely rubbish compared to the free competition.

  • Another month, another awful selection.

  • Well…can’t say that I’m liking this reveal because I’m certainly not. Oh well…on to May.

  • Such a huge let down

  • These games are total crap. Definitely not renewing my subscription to PS Plus. No point in spending money to get “free” garbage games.

  • Just give me a £20 a year ONLINE ONLY sub without the **** games and I’ll be happy! PS+ is an embarrassing mess of a service.

  • Horrible month, add that to the new PS plus changes which will not release first party or third party titles day one, just makes it all worse. Sony needs to get with the program and move into the next generation.

  • I paid for this subscription, but I can’t get anything. Thanks to Sony for the attitude to their couch fans.

  • Oh so good that I can comment…

    Just wanted to express my happiness that – I bought PS5, waited for 10 month exactly, I bought 4k TV, I bought Sony Plus and finally the peak reached – I can play SpongeBob on weekends……..

  • There’s way better games that should’ve been in this line up 🤷‍♂️

  • The type of absolute garbage I’ve come to expect from anything related to PlayStation subscription services. Bravo, keep up the terrible, cheap work.

  • smokealotapot206

    What’s with the crappy games they keep giving out with the amount of money they make off of ps plus subscriptions alone you would think they could at least give out some decent games each month instead of the bs crap they’ve been given out

  • Seems like people forget that the subscription also offers exclusive discounts. If you really feel that the value is diminished because of low quality games (based on this chat log) the subscription pays for itself on the discounts alone

    • Which is useless too if you advocate physical gaming like me. I wouldn’t refute its general value, just the fact that the PS+ part of the subscription (digital rental/lease) is forced on us for online access (completely unrelated to PS+), both those who would get PS+ regardless of online (that’s the group that’s favored in this case) and those who have to get it in order to play online…

    • Might be different where you live, but the “exclusive” Plus discounts currently on the store are all shovelware, older sports games and a few really, really old things.

      There are games in sales I want, but not a single one is has a “Plus” discount. For just the “discounts” would probably save more by using the sub money to buy games.

    • The discounts vary dramatically on how good they actually are. Either way, that is not an actual excuse for them cheaping out on their monthly games. Especially since having to have Plus for multiplayer is BUNK.

  • This blog -_-

  • “Persona 5 will be leaving the ps plus collection”.Will it be getting replaced with anything?Or is our “free content ” library just being reduced? 🤔

  • This line up is trash I’m a grown man with kids and I wouldn’t let my kids play these busted games DO BETTER SONY ASAP

  • SpongeBob is for cool kids and is really fun

  • This line up is terrible and Sony better wake up! Microsoft is going to start walking away with their customers.

  • Did they mean to say Persona 5 Strikers? I can’t seem to find any version of the original Persona 5 that’s on PlayStation Plus.

    • Yes it was P5 Strikers. The original Persona 5 is part of the Instant Game Collection tho so you can claim it, provided you have a PS5.

    • So there’s no way to claim it w/o a PS5? Like, in the online store? I can’t find or afford a PS5 yet, & my PS4 (& 3) still has alot of life. But I was hoping Persona 5 would be offered on PS+ after I found out Strikers is actually a sequel.

  • As someone who has had PS+ for about 10 years now I honestly believe that Sony would make a lot more money if they I introduced a lower tier of Plus which doesn’t give the games but just the online MP access. Don’t need one which just gives the games, because obviously that’s what Plus originally was, but a cheaper sub with just online accessibility would be a great hit for more people.

  • Will not download or play any of the 3. Another wasted month. Seems to be a lot of that for me

  • Тупорылые самураи, как мне получить игры по моей подписке, за которую я заплатил, если вы, убогие умудрились заблокировать стор.

  • In my opinion the games are wack this month, better last month.

  • I’m not keen on these games. Anyone got any information for me about hood as I might get it.

  • What a waste of money this has been so far!

  • Disappointing

  • Literally a week ago nerdSlayer released a video on Hood in their “Death of a Game” series. It’s already bad enough when Sony sells out of the free game slots to one of these instantly dead multiplayer games but it’s even more insulting when it’s one that’s already long dead. That goes for Nick All Stars as well, by the way.

    • Ah, wrong spongebob game lol. Yeah, Rehydrated, way better option, but it’s a remaster of a very old game, and Slay the Spire relatedly has been out forever to the point I’m pretty sure literally everyone on the planet who wants that has it
