PS Plus games for April includes a surprisingly great 70s movie tie-in

Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus line-up for April, and fans of classic films and/or Digimon will be extremely happy.
Video games based on movies have a spotty track record at best, but in recent years that’s become less and less true, especially for titles that go back to older cinematic classics.
Recent titles like Indiana Jones And The Great Circle prove games are sometimes better suited than movies to continue older franchise, a rule which also applies to RoboCop: Rogue City. Developed by Teyon, the first person shooter features an original storyline, set after the events of 1990 film RoboCop 2.
The game is far better than anyone expected and, ahead of its standalone expansion Unfinished Business later this year, it will be available to all PlayStation Plus subscribers from April 1, 2025.
As confirmed by Sony, RoboCop: Rogue City will be free for PlayStation Plus subscribers across all tiers on PlayStation 5 next month.
Another surprisingly good adaptation of an older film franchise is 2023’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, will be available across PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
It’s a asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror in the vein of Dead By Daylight, only more polished and with a very goofy system where you level up grandpa with blood to help killers spot survivors.
While it was somewhat overlooked when it originally came out, it’s a surprisingly faithful recreation of the classic 1974 horror film – complete with several maps and characters pulled from the not-so iconic sequels.
The final game on the PlayStation Plus line-up for April is Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory, which is a sequel to 2015’s Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. It is a role-playing game in the Digimon universe, where you command up to three companions in battles.
All of these games will be available to claim from April 1 to May 5, 2025. It’s worth noting you can just add them to your library during this time and download them later, as long as you have a PlayStation Plus subscription.
You still have until March 31, 2025 to pick up this month’s PlayStation Plus games, which includes Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colours, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection.
