What’s the April 2018 PlayStation Plus lineup? When will the March 2018 PS Plus update be revealed? As another month draws to a close, we’re here to look at all the latest PS+ speculation, and also share all the freshest PS Plus rumours.
When will April 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games be announced?
Unlike recent updates, we should get the announcement of April 2018's free PS Plus games with time in the month to spare, as the titles will be revealed on 28th March assuming that Sony follows its usual announcement pattern. You'll of course find all of the information as it breaks here on Push Square.
When will April 2018’s free PS Plus games be available to download?
Sony generally makes the free PlayStation Plus games available to download on the first Tuesday in every month, so in this instance you should be able to break your bandwidth cap from 3rd April.
What are April 2018’s free PlayStation Plus games?
After an absolutely insane lineup in March featuring Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank, Sony has set the bar for PS Plus updates moving forwards. Of course, it would be unreasonable to expect such levels of quality every single month, so there’ll surely be a small drop off this time around. We want to see the PlayStation VR bonus return, after previous goodie StarBlood Arena failed to be replaced. We’d also like to see the PS3 and PS Vita sent off in style, as the giveaways have been throwaway for far too long on those formats. With both systems set to exit the service after March 2019, the platform holder has 12 months to give them both one last hurrah.
Which free April 2018 PS Plus games do you want?
And now it’s your turn to tell us which free PlayStation Plus games you want in April 2018. Is there anything in particular that you’ve been holding out hope for? How can Sony possibly top last month’s lineup of Bloodborne and Ratchet & Clank? You know the drill, so get speculating in the comments.
What free April 2018 PlayStation Plus games do you want? What are your thoughts on PS Plus these days? Have you been happy with the service thus far this year? Let us know in the comments section below.

I think Sony should give everyone a month of PS Now for free. It’d be a great way to cross-sell one of their other paid services, it gives the players a crapload of “new” games to play, and (I’m pretty sure) it works on all three platforms—PS4, PS3, and Vita.
Damn, it's that time already? This year is certainly flying...
@jgrangervikings1 Pretty sure PS Now only works on PS4 and PC now. I remember them saying a while back they were stopping it on PS3 and I think that's passed now. I don't think they'll do that anyway. You can already get a 7 day trial for free.
What would I like to see? Hmm. Maybe the PS4 version of God of War 3?
I can see us getting some kind of party game like one of the Jackbox releases or possibly one of the Playlink titles like Hidden Agenda perhaps.
Another prediction could see us getting something like Resident Evil 7.
Firewatch and Salt and Sanctuary are two games I've been holding off buying because I'll think they'll be on PS Plus at some point. So those two. Cheers.
My backlog is backbreaking, so I’ve put a hold on buying new games. But, I’ll take ... let’s see, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir on crossbuy for Vita and PS4 please. And also Virginia, because recent discussion has me interested in that.
Demon Gaze 2 and Knack 2 for PlayStation plus for April
As for the PSVR Content - with the limited amount of Games / Apps available - one offering every 2 Months would be nice -
leaving the release available for those 2 Months.
1x Movie Download would be Nice, but do want to detract from the recent Quality of Software Titles -
Shadow Warrior 2 would be a Top Title -
I don't have PS Plus, but if I did, I'd want Furi, Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Nioh, God of War III Remastered, and Uncharted Collection.
@Th3solutioni would also live to see Odin sphere. I've only ever played demo for it, and it seemed pretty fun.
A racing game would be nice seeing that I don't own one for PS4.
It's a rare occasion that any of the Plus games are of use to me, as I buy most of what I want on release. There have been occasional surprises, though... but in truth, there are titles I've downloaded on a whim and never bothered with. I got Bioshock Infinite when it was offered on PS3 on a whim, but it was never a game/series which interested me, so I've yet to bother with it.
@Paranoimia Luckily for me by some miracle I've never had a month where one of the free games were already in my purchased games library "knock on wood", but there have been several months where the Vita offerings weren't PSTV compatible making them useless to me. Still in 14 months I've easily received 30+ free games for my digital collection! ^_^
@Get2SammyB Your wording is a bit off. PS3 and Vita are going to no longer be supported "after" March 2019. March 2019, will be their final month.
@ellsworth004 OSL is on my list of wants, but I don’t know even if they gave it next month if I’d get around to it very quickly. I’m still barely scratching the surface of Bloodborne from this month. Nice work on cruising through the first boss by the way. I would definitely not call BB easy though! 😂
Can we have bloodborne again?
In fact.. let's just have bloodborne every month...
Puyo Puyo Tetris & Thimbleweed Park would be sweet (assuming they haven't been on plus before)
Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, Aragami. Way of the Samurai, Blades of the Shogun, or X-Com 2 would be very nice.
@ReanSchwarzer7 Fair, I'll correct that now. Thanks!
@roe
That sounds about right. Of course they'd offer RE7 this month, I just ordered it. Yup, that'd be par for the course.
@Jaz007 AC:Black Flag would be cool. Fingers crossed.
Im woth @jaz007 xcom 2 would be awesome. On top of that I want a sport game for once.
Please!!! just don't bless us with AAA games as we own most pf them already =)
@Retro88
I want day 1 indies back. Forget what the haters say. Some indies are better then the recycled AAA trash.
Everybody's Golf, Wipeout Collection or Hitman.
I would like Knack 2, but it's probably too soon.
I can guarantee it will be God of War 3 Remastered. Probably also Axiom Verge. Because I just bought them in the sale.
Shadow of the Colossus & UFC 3.
@Melucine Well... any, ‘thoughts’ or ‘predictions’ this month?
Hmm maybe Terraria for the indie ish game. The Order. It's been $5 forever. Time for it to be free.
Some people here are high or something, asking for games less than a year old! That's not the way it works. I want The Order 1886 or Plants vs Zombies 2.
@Gremio108 I can understand waiting to see if a game comes to plus but Salt & sanctuary is well worth buying. Ska Studios are one of the best indie dev teams out there, chuck 'em a few pennies!
@HeathenFriar I want Monster Hunter: World and Ni no Kuni 2.
@get2sammyb No problem!
@Th3solution trust me that was sarcasm. My first playthrough didn't go quite as smoothly, but I did eventually beat every boss in the game and expansion.
@ellsworth004 I’ve just spent the last 2-3 hours trying to defeat Father Gascoigne. I get him down to like 10-20% health and he just wallops me like a plaything. Despite the enormous frustration, Bloodborne is turning out to be one of my favorite PS Plus offerings.
Some sexy indies?
@Th3solution have you summoned help? Gascoigne is a lot easier if you go in mob handed.
@Johnnycide Not yet. I feel like I’m so close.
To be fair if i dont buy anything any more then i still will be busy untill the PS6. 😁 😋
@Th3solution Try to put the gravestones between you and Gascoigne so you can take of a lot hp before he can touch you.
Yooka Laylee.
Farcry 5
@Giygas_95 bloodborne is a free game this march
@coneal2825 I know, but I don't have PS Plus. If I did though, that's a game I'd want. Maybe some day, but right now I don't feel like paying for a subscription.
A Way Out. I know it's brand spanking new, so yeah right.
A Hat In Time.
Firewatch.
SSX Tricky!
Did we get Abzu in the EU already? I want that.
backwards compatibility
@Tilt_mode PSNow is not a very good choice, it's not supported globally yet, so I doubt they'd go that way...
Plants vs Zombies 2 would be nice! Maybe a racing game? I have none, because there's always some other game that takes the priority, but I can't deny one for free. =)
Knack 2 or the order.
I'll take Furi, Gravity Rush, Gravity Rush 2 and Matter fall please. I feel greedy asking for anything after What we got for March though. Ratchet and Clank is pretty great.
@OGGamer We got Furi and Gravity Rush already in previous months. Now, Gravity Rush Remastered might be an option though. GR2 is possible but it’s just been out a little over a year. Great game.
Day one indies like we used to get. Bloodborne is fantastic but most of us who wanted it purchased it a long time ago.
I'd take anything I don't already have to be honest! Looking at offerings in other territories over the last few months I'd expect we will get the likes of Killzone, GoW3, Gravity Rush Remastered fairly soon. Asia have had all of those, and they also had Knack, R&C and Just Cause 3 shortly before we ended up getting them in the EU. I'd settle for any of those to be fair. I actually quite like the random indie games you get as well.
The Last Guardian.
@Shigurui I'll put it on my to-buy list!
Although, got a lot of backlog on my ps4, however, it would be great to have mortal kombat xl and AC:Syndicate
Knack 2
(joking aside, I actually do want that!)
PS4: probably whatever, I have yet to comb through even the last few months' offerings (what was last one I got to try, Darksiders?). Do tell me more about "Switch port begging" while I'm duking it out with my console's suddenly whimsical internet connection as of late on top of the usual Remote Play quirks. But if I do have to name stuff, let it be the usual binge kickoffs like Valkyria Chronicles and Wolfenstein again. Or maybe even Prey if I'm to be obnoxious?
Vita: while Sony's not remotely obliged to do so, the now known countdown to the end of Vita offerings does compel one to wish for several more big things along the homestretch. Might as well go out with a bang, right? We've already had stuff like Psycho-Pass and Grand Kingdom recently, so why not crank my wishful thinking up to eleven and list titles like Nonary Games, Atelier games, Danganronpa, A.o.T. Wings of Freedom (yeah, right, I don't even remember seeing this game discounted often)... dream big and all that.
Among March giveaways, Claire proved impressive indeed - an experience expectedly reminiscent of but still different from and arguably meatier than Uncanny Valley. Bombing Busters, on the other hand, didn't hook me much and soon made way for the titles bought later on. Speaking of which, CounterSpy is pretty fun.
To be honest, whatever game we got I'll probably just download and leave it there until I'll eventually delete it, because only game I play last 3 month is Ark: Survival Evolved! Just bought Season Pass so I will only play this for the rest of the year, LOL! Best game EVER!!!
Let's get some great 4 player couch co-op, just to have when friends come by!
I would like Tetris Ultimate, I think you know why.
I really want Gang Beasts. I don't want to buy it for 20 bucks because I'm sure I'll be done after a couple hours playing with my kids.
This is my final month of PS Plus ever (I'm not renewing) so it would be great to get something I really want to try.
Andromeda. Go 'ed, EA.
That Japanese school one. Placenta 5? That's meant to be decent.
I was seriously considering buying Oxenfree on the sale which ends today. It’s only $5 on sale. So I decided there is high likelihood it will be a free game next month so I am waiting.
The Order 1886 would be a good one, quite like Black Flag again too.
Both are ones that I have quite got myself to buy digitally yet as I'm waiting sub fiver, but PS+ would be even better.
@Th3solution I hope you like cars
@Ichiban Poyo Poyo is only a retail game, not a digital
@Th3solution it is not
@sinalefa I was thinking TLG after seeing it on the store yesterday on sale for $17.99. I think PSVR Worlds could be included as it was $6.99 in the sale and I almost bought it but decided to wait.
If we got GoW3 I think I'd replay the opening first hour boss battle just to see how it's been improved but I don't need to replay the entire 6-8 hours.
Surprised no leaks or rumours yet from the Internet, news should be out today.
@rjejr
Thanks for the heads up. $18 doesnt sound bad although I am trying to clear some backlog.
@Melucine Awesome. I am not a huge fan of racing games but I do need to add some to my library for purposes of diversity. I think many people would be happy to have a racing game.
@Th3solution I am also not a huge fun and never buy racing games, but like you I do love diversity on my games, so they are welcome if they are free. It will be a fun month for me, at least ps4 wise.
Definitely God Of War 3 Remastered and Assassin's Creed 4
@Elodin Free is still too expensive for The Order. Just watch a let’s play video of it and you’ve played it as there’s no gameplay whatsoever.
A triple a racing game would go down nicely for me.
@sinalefa I've been trying to clear my backlog as well and not buying more games but it's a slow process. Did finish Uncharted Lost Legacy and Kirby this weekend but H:ZD is long. Then TLOU:LB and RotTR. I almost bought Mario + Rabbids in Target today for $30 but I don't need it right now so I'll wait.
If we did get TLG w/ PS+ I might try to squeeze it in though after HZD before I start anything else. I've been meaning to go back to Blood Rush on PSVR but I'm too lazy to put the headset on and set up a chair the cords can reach. No point standing for that one as you are sitting in the game. .
Far Cry 4
They are saying that Hellblade will be 1 of the free games!!
But I bought it 2 months ago
I still haven't finished it but I was liking it a lot really! The creepy voices in the headphones are awesome, terrifying and very well made!
Hoping we find out today as I am going to pre order god of war and spend £200 in the Easter sale but don't wat to buy anything till i know what games will be free
Odin sphere would be good wanted that for ages but never had cash for it
@AFCC While I wouldn't mind playing Hellblade for 'free', that would absolutely kill sales of the game on PS4 for the month. Plus seriously p*ss off the Xbox camp that just had the game announced for that platform. I highly doubt Hellblade would be offered on PS Plus already, didn't that just release in October?
Now something like Nex Machina, that would be a nice PS Plus offering.
@Turismo4GT I read it somewhere but to be honest is just a rumour so we'll see in an hour or so
@rjejr
I saw the Lost Legacy trophy you earned. I beat it and never went back to it. Game was enjoyable though.
Funny that you are playing Left Behind. When I see that one I always think "they are young Chloe and Nadine".
@sinalefa Well I'm not playing Left Behind yet, got a few things going on first before I start. And yes, I'm done w/ U:LL for good. I got all of those tokens while still in chapter 4 and used the bracelet to get most of the treasures after that. I don't play on hard mode of multiplayer, or really anything else. I almost never go back to any game, play the story, or whatever passes for game progression, and that's it. I paid $20 for the Zleda DLC and beat the 1 hit kill section then got stuck trying to find stuff and gave up, no motorcycle for me. Which is 1 reason why I won't play a game until it's done, b/c I'll spend money for DLC I won't play.
Though I did play Kirby before the DLC, but w/ my kids for 6 hours. I may give it a try solo after the DLC is done, but maybe not.
