April 2025 PlayStation Plus Free Games: What to Expect

LOS ANGELES, CA — With April fast approaching, PlayStation Plus subscribers are eager for news regarding the free games available for download. The announcement for next month’s lineup will occur on March 26, followed by the official release of these titles on April 1.

For April 2025, gamers are speculating on which titles will be offered, with much anticipation following the recent addition of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This role-playing game from Bioware launched recently but was met with a lukewarm reception, leading to its quick inclusion in the PlayStation Plus lineup.

In April 2024, subscribers received a variety of titles, including Minecraft: Legends and Immortals of Avenum, setting a strong precedent for this year’s offerings.

PlayStation Plus consists of three tiers—Essential, Extra, and Premium. The Essential tier, which includes the monthly free games, costs $79.99 per year. It’s important to note that a subscription is required for online gameplay for most titles, while free-to-play games do not necessitate a membership.

Typically, Sony announces the lineup for the upcoming month on the last Wednesday of the current month, with new titles becoming accessible the following Tuesday. Therefore, the reveal for April’s games is scheduled for the afternoon of March 26, resulting in a release on April 1.

April Fool’s Day may bring some skepticism toward any online news that day, but fans are excitedly speculating on potential inclusions for the next rotation.

Currently, unconfirmed predictions from the gaming community suggest titles like Cuphead, Need for Speed Unbound, and Lords of the Fallen could be part of the lineup. Other titles gaining attention include Atomic Heart, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and various first-party games such as Gran Turismo 7.

More hopeful titles speculated for inclusion include Nioh 2 and Hogwarts Legacy. Due to the release schedule, fans are anticipating a robust selection of games.

The April offering will replace previous titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard and others that were available until the end of March.

As the gaming community eagerly awaits the formal announcement, user predictions remain rampant on social media and gaming forums. Enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for updates and reminders about redeeming any games from the current lineup.
