Sony has officially confirmed the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup for April 2026, and it’s a varied set of three titles, available to download from 7th April through to 4th May.
Lords of the Fallen headlines PlayStation Plus lineup this month
Leading the charge is Lords of the Fallen, the soulslike action-RPG from CI Games set in a grim medieval fantasy world. It’s well-timed, too, with Lords of the Fallen 2 expected to launch later this year on PS5, Xbox, and PC via Epic Games, making now a great opportunity to catch up before the sequel arrives.
