PS Plus Essential April 2026 Games Revealed

Each new month brings exciting additions to the PlayStation Plus library. This time, we're revealing the anticipated games that Sony will offer to subscribers of the PS Plus Essential tier for April 2026. This information was initially leaked by the well-known informant billbil-kun on Dealabs and subsequently confirmed by Sony.

These games will be available for download across all PS Plus tiers —Essential, Extra, and Deluxe— from Tuesday, April 7, to Monday, May 4, 2026. Once added to your collection, they will remain accessible as long as your PS Plus subscription stays active.

The titles comprising the "free" PS Plus Essential selection for April are:

• Lords of the Fallen (PS5)
• Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream (PS5)
• Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered (PS4, PS5)

Lords of the Fallen is a 'soulslike' action RPG launched in 2023. Developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games, this title is a reimagining of the 2014 game of the same name. Despite receiving mixed reviews, it offers a challenging experience for fans of the genre. It is also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is a cooperative multiplayer action RPG released in 2024. Based on the popular Japanese light novel and anime series, it invites players to immerse themselves in its world. This game can also be enjoyed on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Tomb Raider I-II-III Remastered is a remastered collection that revives the first three classic games starring the iconic heroine Lara Croft, originally released in the 1990s. It's a perfect opportunity to revisit the origins of this legendary saga.

Remember, you still have the chance to redeem the PS Plus Essential games for March 2026 —PGA Tour 2K25 (PS5), Slime Rancher 2 (PS5), Monster Hunter Rise (PS4/PS5), and The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road Collection (PS4/PS5)— until Monday, April 6, 2026.
