Sony has announced new games coming to PlayStation Plus Essential on April 4. A new FPS called Meet Your Maker, from Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive, will be launching as one of the included games. It will be joined by Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Tails of Iron. All three games will be available to both PS4 and PS5 owners.

• Meet Your Maker is a post-apocalyptic base-building game where players must construct their own outposts littered with traps and guards to try and keep other players out, while also venturing into other outposts to steal materials from them.
• Sackboy: A Big Adventure was originally released as a PS5 launch title. It is a spin-off of the LittleBigPlanet franchise that loses the content creation aspect of the original titles, also shifts to 3D platforming.
• Tails of Iron is a 2D action-RPG with "punishingly brutal combat." It features a hand-drawn artstyle and received positive reviews when it launched in September of 2021.

This also means that last month's PlayStation Plus games - Battlefield 2042, Minecraft Dungeons and Code Vein - will no longer be available past April 3.

Microsoft has also released the upcoming games for its Games with Gold service. Available from April 1 to April 30 is Out of Space: Couch Edition, a casual co-op strategy game, and from April 16 to May 15 is Peaky Blinders: Mastermind, a puzzle-adventure game based on the hit BBC period drama.

Meet your maker seems interesting

Been wanting to play Sack Boy for the fun local coop so that's neat!

Tails of Iron looks nice. I'm eager to try it out.
About the other two can't really say much. I already own Sackboy, which is an awesome game and I couldn't care less about Meet your maker...
So, for me, this month is pretty lame 'free' games wise.

These games were a lot better when they were still supporting the Vita. Miss actually looking forward to the next month's lineup. And once you mod your PS4, if you don't have any dedicated games that you play online, there's no reason to have PS+ anymore.

I'll sack your boy.

Edit: Interesting that it's a PS+ monthly title. I would have much more expected it to be a PS+ Extra title.

Yeah, from time to time they include some bigger budget games on the monthly roster. Good for us, I guess.

Looks like we get a few underrated gems for April. Hope we get some AAA tittles this year eventually.

Sackboy is pretty good. It's not as good as similar Nintendo titles like Mario 3D World or Kirby and the Forgotten Land, but it's the closest I've seen anyone come, and it's still a good time. It will be nice to be able to play it without the disc.

Compared to last month, these are all low tier.

Can't argue with that.
But for me, last month was also lame, because the only game I was interested in was Minecraft Dungeons.

Sackboy is good.
As far as I played (like, world 3), the stages could be repetitive but the platform system is more complex than its looks, and the caracters are very charismatic. but be carefull with the competitive challenge, they are very hard

Sackboy: A Big Adventure love the Music in this Game !
