Another month means another group of monthly free games coming to thePlayStation Plusservice, and this April batch includes aRoboCopgame, aDigimontitle, andThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s asymmetrical multiplayer, creating a pretty diverse package for the month. All monthly games are available to download at no additional cost for all tiers of the PlayStation Plus service, and only one of the titles this month is a PS5-only game, so there should be a lot to enjoy for people on both PS4 and PS5.
As reported onPlayStation Blog,the monthly free PlayStation Plus games areRoboCop: Rogue City,Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory, andThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre. While none of these games are particularly new, with the latest release beingRoboCop: Rogue Cityback in 2023, this package of games could have gone under the radar for a lot of players, so now could be the perfect time to check them all out. All three games will beavailable to download from April 1 until May 5.

PlayStation Plus 2026 Plans Prove Sony Is Finally Embracing The PS5, 5 Years Too Late
Sony has redoubled its support for the PS5 with a major new PlayStation Plus decision, but with the PS6 on the horizon, it seems too little, too late.
Rounding out the April catalog is an asymmetrical horror game,The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,which lets players take on the roles of both victims and killers fromThe Texas Chainsaw Massacrefranchise in 4v3-style multiplayer.As a prequel to the original film, the game expands the lore and roles of several characters of the long-running franchise, so players can opt in for somefun multiplayer action if single-player games aren’t up their alley.
April’s Choices Seem To Be More Typical
March May Have Been An Anomaly
The selections for April’s free PlayStation Plus games are a little bit more typical of what we’ve seen from previous months - games that have been out for a while that may have gotten overlooked at various times. It makes the games that were selected for March seem like an anomaly rather than the norm.March’s PlayStation Plus line-up was headlined byDragon Age: The Veilguard, which released fairly recently back in October 2024, and was BioWare’s first major release sinceMass Effect Legendary Edition.The game’s release and aftermathput the future ofDragon Agein question, though, since it didn’t meet financial expectations.
No matter the case, April’sPlayStation Plusfree games should have something for everyone.Players will also have until March 31 to claimDragon Age: The Veilguard,Sonic Colors: Ultimate,andTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collectionbefore this new lineup is center stage.
