While Xbox may have abandoned its free monthly games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, PlayStation is keeping the free monthly games rolling, and this April isn’t any different. This month, the company has three more games to grab as a PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, or Premium subscriber.
PlayStation Plus is Sony’s game subscription service that gives gamers access to a library of games to download or stream, much like Xbox Game Pass. While Extra gives players access to more modern games, Premium also gives gamers access to the Classics Catalog with select titles from PS3, PS2, and even the original PlayStation and portable PSP console. Essential gets you more basic access to online multiplayer but also gets you access to Monthly Games.
PlayStation Plus Essential costs $9.99 per month, PlayStation Plus Extra costs $14.99 per month, and PlayStation Plus Premium costs $17.99 per month. Premium also gets gamers access to game trials and game streaming to devices like the PlayStation Portal.
So, what games do Essential, Extra, and Premium subscribers get for free this month? Let’s get into it.
