April's PS Plus Drop: Horizon Remastered Leads a Diverse Gaming Haul

PlayStation Plus subscribers are in for a treat this April, with a robust lineup for Extra and Premium tiers that promises something for every gaming palate. From expansive open worlds to quirky indie adventures and intense strategy, the incoming catalog delivers a compelling mix of established hits and hidden gems, all set to arrive starting April 21.

Headlining the month’s additions is Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, offering PlayStation 5 players a chance to revisit Aloy’s stunning post-apocalyptic journey with enhanced visuals and performance. PlayStation 4 users won’t be left out, receiving the critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. Racing enthusiasts can hit the streets of Hawaii in The Crew Motorfest, while football strategists can dive into the latest season with Football Manager 26 Console.

Beyond these well-known franchises, PlayStation Plus shines a light on a fascinating array of titles. Get ready for some chaotic action with Warriors: Abyss, a frantic hack-and-slash roguelite from Koei Tecmo. For those seeking something truly unconventional, Squirrel with a Gun delivers exactly what it promises: a competent, albeit silly, third-person shooter developed by an innovative indie duo. Strategy buffs will appreciate Monster Train, a beloved demonic deckbuilder from Shiny Shoe, and retro RPG aficionados can journey back in time with Wild Arms 4, a PlayStation 2-era classic exclusive to Premium libraries.

Perhaps the most compelling argument for the value of PlayStation Plus this month comes in the form of The Casting of Frank Stone. From Supermassive, a studio celebrated for its narrative-driven horror, this title also serves as a crossover within the Dead by Daylight universe. It’s precisely the kind of game that might fly under the radar for many players, but its inclusion in PS Plus provides a perfect opportunity for discovery. For subscribers, it’s a no-cost entry into a potentially rich new world, showcasing how the service truly broadens gaming horizons and offers a gateway to unexpected favorites. This April’s batch is indeed a quality collection, offering both grand adventures and delightful surprises.
