The free PlayStation Plus games for April 2023 are available to claim right now across PS4 and PS5. PlayStation Plus subscribers who are signed up for the service's most basic tier, PS Plus Essential, have a batch of free games to claim every month. These PS Plus free games are one of the main benefits of being signed up for PlayStation Plus, along with access to online multiplayer, of course.
Those who are signed up for the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers can also claim the monthly free games for their collections as well. And unlike most of the other games available for PS Plus Extra and Premium, users can keep the monthly free games forever, as long as they stay subscribed. Other games on PS Plus Extra and Premium aren't available for one to keep and subscribers will lose access if they are ever pulled from the service.
As far as the free PS Plus games for April 2023 go, subscribers can now claim day one game Meet Your Maker, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Tails of Iron. Native PS4 and PS5 versions of all three games are available to download. The games will be free for PlayStation Plus subscribers to claim until May 1, at which point they will be replaced by a new batch of free games.
Free PS Plus Games for April 2023
- Meet Your Maker
- Sackboy: A Big Adventure
- Tails of Iron
Out of these free games, Meet Your Maker is certainly the headliner. It's somewhat rare for PS Plus to give away a day one game for free, but Meet Your Maker is joining the service on the very day of its launch. The game is the latest project from Dead by Daylight studio Behaviour Interactive, and it has earned somewhat mixed reviews so far. PS Plus subscribers can try it without paying anything beyond their usual subscription fee, whereas everyone else will need to pay $29.99.
Tails of Iron and Sackboy: A Big Adventure are two strong additions to the PS Plus lineup as well. Both games earned mostly positive reviews from critics, plus Sackboy was actually a PS5 launch title. Overall, the free PS Plus games for April 2023 should go a long way in keeping fans signed up for Sony's subscription service, and it will definitely be interesting to see if they free PS Plus games for May 2023 can top them.
