PS Plus has confirmed the new Essential games for April 2024, which include Immortals of Aveum, Minecraft Legends, and Skul: The Hero Slayer. It's worth noting that it's one less game than the PS Plus free games for March 2024, but that's because March was the exception, not the rule.
Right now, PS Plus subscribers can mark a few key dates on their calendars. The new PS Plus games will be added on April 2, meaning fans who haven't yet should be sure to claim March's games ahead of then: EA Sports F1 23, Sifu, Hello Neighbor 2, and Destiny 2: Witch Queen. After that, fans can expect Sony to announce the PS Plus Extra and Premium games on April 10 ahead of their addition on April 16. That basically covers all the major planned PS Plus days for April, but of course, the newest confirmations may be the apples of many eyes right now.
Strange PS Plus Bug Is Making Gamers Play Two Games at the Same Time
An odd bug is affecting players trying to play games through Sony's PS Plus, causing them to play multiple games at the same time.
The PS Plus free games for April 2024 are Immortals of Aveum, Minecraft Legends, and Skul: The Hero Slayer. Those who are subscribed to one of the higher tiers, PS Plus Extra and Premium, are also eligible to claim these games, and it's worth noting that each game offers a unique experience compared to the next. Immortals of Aveum is a first-person shooter, one that has struggled since launch, but one with a unique take on the genre. Instead of guns, players equip and utilize different spells in Immortals of Aveum. On the opposite end, Minecraft Legends is more of a sandbox survival game with PvP and PvE qualities.
Perhaps the least recognizable game is Skul: The Hero Slayer. PS Plus is great at supporting indies, and Skul fits into that area as an action rogue-lite 2D platformer. Anyone who enjoys this genre should check the game out, especially because it offers a lot of variety. Across three games, PS Plus is giving fans an FPS, a sandbox experience, and a roguelite platformer.
PS Plus Free Games for April 2024 List
- Immortals of Aveum (PS5)
- Minecraft Legends (PS5/PS4)
- Skul: The Hero Slayer (PS4)
For now, it remains to be seen what Sony will add for the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for April 2024. However, it seems safe to say that the month is starting off strong, and the higher tiers will likely keep this momentum going.
PS Plus subscribers get a handful of games every month.
