The latest games to come included with PS Plus for April have made quite a splash across the internet, thanks to the announcement of several high-profile titles joining the service. However, it looks like not every region will be getting all three of the games available for the rest of the world, with bad news for fans looking forward to starting Slay the Spire on PlayStation consoles.
This comes directly from PlayStation Asia, which only posted two games coming included in April's lineup for PS Plus subscribers in Asian regions. It should be noted, though, that some locations in this region do appear to have all three titles, with some players in Japan specifically reporting that they have seen the third game as available.
According to PlayStation Asia, the title that won't be available in the region is Slay the Spire, which was left out of the official announcement and graphic to players within the region. This is likely because the game itself isn't available in Asian regions like Hong Kong at all, meaning there's no game on the PlayStation Store for the PS Plus included titles to link to. The other two games coming to the rest of the world will at least still be coming to the region, meaning players in Asia will still have access to both Hood: Outlaws and Legends as well as Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom.
While it is understandable that PlayStation won't be able to offer Slay the Spire to players in the Asian region, some fans are upset that this means they'll be missing out on one of the three games entirely. Several subscribers to the PS Plus service are asking instead for a game to replace Slay the Spire that wouldn't be included among the games in other regions. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case, and players in this region will simply be missing out on one of the included titles for the month of April.
With PS Plus facing upcoming changes, now is a time when players might be the most skeptical about Sony's actions and how the company handles the service as it currently exists. So, cutting one of the more exciting games from the lineup of titles included with the service in April could cause some players to take issue with the way that PS Plus is moving. PlayStation will hopefully be able to improve the selection in the coming months after April in order to make up for fan grievances at the moment, which might mean some impressive titles coming to all subscribers in May and beyond.
