Ghostrunner 2 | PS5


Survive a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future in this intense and immersive first-person experience, which builds on the fast-paced action of the original. As before, it’s a one-hit kill scenario: fight through enemies without taking damage yourself. But in this sequel, there are numerous combat improvements, non-linear levels with complex motorbike sections and exciting new modes. Your new skills allow you to be more creative and take on even the most demanding encounters with greater accessibility… however, your foes behave uniquely depending on the skills used on them, providing a fresh challenge with each encounter.

Tunic | PS4, PS5


Explore a hostile and intricately-connected world of shady forests, sprawling ruins, and labyrinthine catacombs in this stylish isometric adventure. Discover hidden treasures and secret techniques to help you on your way. Clash with colossal beasts and smaller enemies deep beneath the earth, high above the clouds and in places stranger still. All will test your knowledge of technical combat as you courageously dodge, block, parry and strike to conquer them. Collect the missing manual pages, bursting with hints and original full-color illustrations.

Destiny 2: Lightfall*** | PS4, PS5


This Destiny 2 expansion takes Guardians to Neptune to discover a neon metropolis unlike anything you’ve exploded in Destiny 2 before. Meet the Cloud Striders, join the fight against the Shadow Legion, and prevent devastation in the technologically advanced secret city of Neomuna. Arm yourself with new rewards and unlock new Dark powers with the new Strand subclass: flow through the city with newfound speed as you grapple from building to building. Every class can tap into this new element, but it’s up to you to create the perfect build.


The EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team Starter Pack


PlayStation Plus members can also kickstart their Football Ultimate Team experience or build up their existing squad with the PlayStation Plus Football Ultimate Team Starter Pack. This pack includes 11 untradeable players rated 82 or above, alongside one of football’s all-time greats as an ICON Loan Player Pick for seven games.


You’ll be able to find and download this bundle in addition to the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games line up on PlayStation Store. Download EA Sports FC 24 from PlayStation Store to access. Once downloaded, the bundle’s contents will be available in-game immediately.


Last chance to download April’s games

Good month for me.
Almost bought Tunic a few times, good thing that I learned my lesson of not buying games if I'm not playing them soon afterwards.

For me... meh..

But I won't deny those are big titles, if I hadn't already smashed tunic it would grab me.

Great month, lots of variety. Had a feeling EASFC was coming after the deep discounts. Will try Tunic and Ghostrunner 2

Solid month. If FC24 still has the same single player coach mode as previous FIFAs, i know i have addiction for more than a month. Love building my own club, buying and selling players, and you can still play normaly. Much better than the "player career mode".

FC24 is the one game Sony needs to have to make sure people keep renewing PS Plus in Europe so it's always a good get for them, even if i don't care much lol.
The rest is good though.

This is a pretty banger month! Was hoping Tunic would show up on this at some point. Ghostrunner looks pretty fun although never got around to trying the first one. Fifa is probably one of the few sports games I don't mind getting on here. Always end up playing more footy every year than I anticipated, since it is the perfect game to just drop in for a match or two without having to be too invested.

Man, they are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaly trying to get people hooked on Destiny (or get old players to relapse) before Final Shape comes out. 🤣

As for the rest, I’ll definitely grab the other 3. I usually buy one FIFA game in a generation, looks like Sony is saving me some money on that one this gen.

Manager career mode is so much fun. On PC you can have a custom career mode with icons and hero players

It's basically a free version of Ultimate Team
 
Was it a couple of years ago that Pro Evo was announced on PS+ then got pulled because of a backlash? I was so pissed off when they replaced it!

Didn't like Ghostrunner 1, not my style. Tunic already owned on Xbox. FC24 : I don't like soccer. I don't play Destiny 2.

Nothing for me this month. :(
