Sony has introduced the PlayStation Plus Monthly video games lineup for April 2026, confirming earlier leaks that spilled some — however not all — of the video games.
Three titles make up the whole thing of Sony’s choices for subsequent month, which will probably be out there to assert from Tuesday, April 7 till Monday, May 4. As beforehand detailed, this trio will embody pleasurable Soulslike Lords of the Fallen, in addition to the MMORPG-like Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream.
Completing the lineup, nonetheless, is a pleasant shock: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, which presents Lara Croft’s authentic three adventures with all expansions, secret ranges, and a shiny lick of paint. You also can change again to enjoying utilizing the video games’ authentic graphics, polygons and all, must you so select.
It’s an attention-grabbing time for Lara Croft’s authentic trilogy package deal to be given away free, following the controversial addition of new cosmetics to the game which fans said looked like AI slop, whereas builders at Saber Interactive who labored on the remaster mentioned they had been nothing to do with the brand new additions.
Publisher Aspyr subsequently denied using AI-generated assets, and insisted that the contentious outfits added by way of the newest replace “were created by our team of artists.” It’s a disgrace, as IGN’s technical review of the game back in 2024 was in any other case complimentary. “The very small and largely independent team that built Tomb Raider I-III Remastered have clear passion and skills for the legacy of Lara Croft,” we wrote.
While IGN has not reviewed Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, we gave a constructive write-up to Lords of the Fallen (which joins PlayStation Plus forward of its sequel launching later this yr). “Lords of the Fallen is a great Soulslike, and its killer new idea of swapping between two versions of the world to solve puzzles and slay enemies is an excellent twist to set it apart from the pack,” IGN wrote in our Lords of the Fallen review, scoring it an 8/10.
