PlayStation Plus April 2026 Lineup: Lords of the Fallen, Tomb Raider, and Sword Art Online
April’s PlayStation Plus monthly games have been revealed, launching on Tuesday, April 7th and available through Monday, May 4th. The lineup features a mix of action RPG, classic adventure, and co-op multiplayer experiences.
The headlining title is Lords of the Fallen, arriving shortly after reports surfaced regarding a potential August release date for Lords of the Fallen 2. The timing has sparked speculation about a possible connection between the two releases, though the exact nature of that relationship remains unclear.
Alongside Lords of the Fallen, subscribers can revisit the early adventures of Lara Croft with Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. This collection offers enhanced versions of the iconic first three games in the series. Completing the lineup is Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream, a multiplayer action co-op experience.
For those looking to finish up March’s offerings, Slime Rancher 2, Monster Hunter Rise, The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road Collection, and PGA Tour 2K25 are still available for a limited time. PGA Tour 2K25 provides a timely tie-in to the Masters Tournament, which begins the same weekend the novel games launch.
PlayStation Plus Tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium
PlayStation Plus operates on a tiered system. The games listed above are available to all subscribers at the Essential tier. Higher tiers – Extra and Premium – offer access to a larger catalog of downloadable games and cloud streaming options, respectively.
The inclusion of Lords of the Fallen and the Tomb Raider remasters offers a diverse selection for PlayStation Plus subscribers this month. Yet, reports indicate a growing trend of fewer PS4 titles being offered as part of the Essential tier, potentially impacting players who have not yet upgraded to a PlayStation 5.
Will the shift towards PS5-focused titles in PlayStation Plus ultimately drive console upgrades, or will it alienate a significant portion of the existing player base?
