If April feels like it’s taking its time to show up, PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting a kind of “fine, we’ll do it for you” lineup instead. It’s a mix that swings from spooky to sporty, with enough squirrel energy to make you question your own priorities.
What’s arriving in April 2026
The split is pretty straightforward too: The Crew Motorfest, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Warriors: Abyss and Wild Arms 4 will hit PS4 and PS5 consoles, while the rest of the month’s additions are PS5 only.
Also, in the case of Horizon, PS4 players will receive Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, rather than the PS5 remaster.
It’s the kind of detail that matters when you’re staring at a store page, trying to decide whether you need to upgrade—again.
There’s a certain comfort in seeing familiar names mixed in with something more niche.
The Crew Motorfest, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and Football Manager are self-explanatory at this point in gaming history, but the April list also leans into smaller, weirder picks that might slip past your radar.
The standouts: from roguelites to campy horror
And then there’s The Casting of Frank Stone, which feels like the kind of game PlayStation Plus is actually built for—at least, in my estimation.
It comes from Supermassive, a campy-horror studio that I’m quite fond of, but it’s a crossover with Dead by Daylight, a game I’ve never played, despite a latent interest in its vibe.
Frank Stone never eclipsed other titles in my to-play pile, and in the harsh light of 2026, I was on the verge of forgetting all about it.
Now that it’s being shoved in my digital face (complimentary), I’m ready to give it a go.
And who knows, maybe it’ll be a gateway into the rich world of Dead by Daylight—though I’m not fully sure I’m brave enough for that.
Most of the games on this month’s list can fit this description to some degree — minus the Dead by Daylight hook, unless you really squint at Monster Train — so it feels like a quality batch.
On a practical level, you get range: action, shooters, deckbuilding, RPG nostalgia, and that specific kind of horror-crossover energy.
I can already picture the moment you boot one up and the controller clicks, the room going quieter, like you’re about to commit to a new obsession—only for you to switch to something else five minutes later.
