Wait, it’s April already? Good grief. Well, that can only mean there’s a trio of games up for grabs for PS Plus subscribers about to drop. Last month, of course, saw the surprising inclusion of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This month isn’t as shocking, but I think you’d be happy to buy this month’s headlining game for a dollar.
Yes, from April 1st until May 5th you can claim Robocop: Rogue City for free on PS5. Launched in 2023, this shooter got pretty solid critic reviews and a lot of praise from fans of the movies. It did well enough to warrant a standalone expansion which will launch later this year.
“Become the legendary part man, part machine, all cop hero and bring justice to the dangerous, crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit,” says the blurb on the official PlayStation blog. “With your powerful Auto-9 or one of a range of weapons available, eradicate criminals throughout this explosive first-person adventure. Your cyborg strength and cybernetic abilities can be upgraded as you progress, to make you an even more formidable law enforcement officer. “
Sticking with the movie theme, you’ll also be able to claim The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on PS4 and PS5. Hopefully being available to PS Plus subscribers will bring a wave of new players to this multiplayer horror game which scored very well when it launched in 2023.
“Take on the role of one of the notorious Slaughter family, or their victims, in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a third-person asymmetrical horror experience based on the groundbreaking and iconic 1974 horror film. As a victim you must use your wits and stealth to stay out of the Family’s reach and find the tools you need to lead to your eventual freedom. Slaughter Family players must seek out, track down, and stop their guests from escaping. Players of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre can finally find out if they have what it takes to survive.”
Finally, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory will be available on PS4 and PS5. I know absolutely nothing about this game, so I’m actually looking forward to trying it out. That’s always the fun thing about these monthly freebies: they provide an opportunity to play things I wouldn’t otherwise risk throwing money away on.
“After being accused of a crime he didn’t commit, Keisuke Amazawa has no choice but to dive into the Digital World and investigate to prove his innocence. Even if that means joining a group of hackers and helping them to solve the troubles threatening this mysterious universe. Discover the mysterious backstory to the events that happened in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth as you dive into a deeper and darker adventure, at crossroads between real and digital and experience the perfect mix between Adventure, Raising and Battle with over 320 Digimon to discover. “
