Sony has revealed all the games coming to the Extra and Premium tiers of its PlayStation Plus subscription service in April 2023. Like with the monthly free PlayStation Plus games, Sony has established patterns when it comes to revealing the PS Plus Extra and Premium lineups. Typically, Sony announces the upcoming PS Plus Extra and Premium games in the middle of the month, and then adds them the following week.
This is true for the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for April 2023, which will be added on Tuesday, April 18. When it comes to the PS Plus Extra games for April 2023, Sony has confirmed 11 games for the service in April, including Bassmaster Fishing, indie hit Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Doom Eternal, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Paradise Killer, Riders Republic, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Slay the Spire, The Evil Within, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.
What's interesting about the new PS Plus Extra games for April 2023 is that a handful of them are actually Xbox-owned games. Doom Eternal, The Evil Within, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus are all published by Bethesda, which is owned by Xbox parent company Microsoft. With very public bad blood between Sony and Microsoft as the latter attempts to acquire Activision Blizzard, it is a bit odd to see deals like this still being arranged.
PS Plus Extra Games for April 2023
- Bassmaster Fishing
- Kena: Bridge of Spirits
- Doom Eternal
- Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
- Paradise Killer
- Riders Republic
- Sackboy: A Big Adventure
- Slay the Spire
- The Evil Within
- Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
- Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus
Another new PS Plus Extra game that may raise some eyebrows is Sackboy: A Big Adventure. As it so happens, Sackboy: A Big Adventure is one of the free PS Plus games for April 2023, so some may see its inclusion on the PS Plus Extra games lineup as redundant. However, this way, anyone that misses out on claiming it as a free game would still potentially be able to play it with their PS Plus subscription, assuming they are signed up for the Extra or Premium tier.
PS Plus Premium Games for April 2023
- Doom
- Doom 2
- Doom 64
- Doom 3
- Dishonored: Definitive Edition
PS Plus Premium subscribers can play all the PS Plus Extra games added in April 2023 of course, but they can also look forward to five additional games. The PS4 versions of Doom, Doom 2, Doom 64, Doom 3, and Dishonored: Definitive Edition are all coming to PS Plus Premium on April 18. These are more Bethesda-published games, but it's odd that the new PS Plus Premium additions for April 2023 are all native PS4 titles as opposed to PS1, PS2, PSP, or PS3 games, which are the main reason why one would sign up for the Premium tier of the service.
