PS Plus Essential April 2026 Available Now

Sony has made the newest lineup of monthly PS Plus Essential games available today, with the selection live now in the UK and Europe. The USA will gain access later in the day, and as a reminder, here are the PS5, PS4 titles for April 2026:

The games will be part of the base PS Plus tier until 5th May 2026, at which point they'll be rotated out for a new lineup. As long as you add the games to your PSN account and maintain an active membership, you will always have access to the titles — they'll always remain playable.

In our usual Push Square Poll, gathering your thoughts on the PS5, PS4 games for the month, the votes were very evenly split. Of more than 1,100 votes, 22% of readers are "mostly happy" with the selection, another 22% are disappointed with them, and a further 22% think it's a "crap selection". 23% of you are stuck in the middle thinking the titles are just "okay".

Lords of the Fallen closely takes the win as the game from the lineup you're all looking forward to playing the most, but the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered collection wasn't far behind in the results.
