April 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games have been confirmed

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced April 2023’s PlayStation Plus Essential games.

Joining the previously confirmed Meet Your Maker (PS5 / PS4) in April will be Sackboy A Big Adventure (PS5 / PS4) and Tails of Iron (PS5 / PS4).

Subscribers will be able to claim the games from April 4 until May 1.

March’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are Battlefield 2042 (PS5/PS4), Minecraft Dungeons (PS4) and Code Vein (PS4). They’re available to claim until April 3.

Essential is the entry-level PlayStation Plus membership tier, which offers subscribers access to a few ‘free’ games every month.

Players can continue to play these games even after they’re no longer available to claim at the end of the monthly period as long as they continue to subscribe to PlayStation Plus Essential (or a higher tier).

Once their membership ends, they’ll no longer be able to play these games unless they resubscribe.
