PS Plus April 2025: Leaked Free Game and Day-One GOTY Contender Revealed!

This month of March has been simply terrific for video game enthusiasts, with standout titles like Split Fiction and the recently launched Assassin’s Creed Shadows. As March winds down, PS Plus subscribers are eagerly anticipating what next month will bring. There’s even a rumor circulating about potential free games coming in April 2025 through PS Plus (PS Plus April 2025 free game leak). To add to the excitement, Sony has already announced a highly-anticipated day-one release that some consider worthy of Game of the Year.

PS Plus April 2025 leak

It’s been speculated that a potential reveal for PS Plus in April 2025 could be Wall.E. Previously, a rating for this timeless title was leaked by Gematsu, and there were assumptions that the game would be included in Premium service in March.

Even though the March Extra and Premium games were released, unfortunately, the plan didn’t work out. Yet, there’s a possibility that Wall.E might be added to the Premium tier in April, since its trophies have been leaked online.

Beyond exposing the awards, the leak seems to indicate that we’ll be receiving the PlayStation 2 edition of the cherished Disney classic. This is terrific because Gematsu was uncertain about whether we were getting the PS2 or PSP version, and the PS2 version is likely to be the better one.

Confirmed PS Plus April 2025 free games

In April 2025, one of the free games for PlayStation Plus is titled Blue Prince. Officially, this game will debut on PS Plus Extra on April 10th, marking its first day of availability. This means that players can look forward to an entirely fresh experience with this new addition to their gaming library.

Blue Prince has earned immense respect, as PC Gamer’s Christopher Livingstone declared it his Game of the Year for 2024 even before its full release, based solely on a preview. This game is an intriguing blend of puzzle-solving and adventure, set within a grand mansion that boasts shifting corridors and ever-evolving rooms, reminiscent of the infamous Murder Castle of H.H. Holmes.

Apart from expressing it as a PC Gamer, Shuhei Yoshida, the former head of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has also mentioned that Blue Price is likely to be among the top contenders for Game of the Year (GOTY) in 2025.

As a gamer, I’m thrilled to share that another free game confirmed for PS Plus Extra in April 2025 is Tape 2 of Lost Records Bloom & Rage! This epic sequel will be added to the Extra and Premium collections on April 15th. If you can’t wait till then, good news – Tape 1 is available for play right now!
