It seems sometimes thatPS Plusenters and exits periods of patterns. For example, from the end of 2019 through early 2020, fans could easily expect one big AAA game and one smaller, more niche game. This all went out the window whenPS Plus was used to ramp up PS5 hype, but that train hasn’t slowed down either. However, it does seem PS Plus is settling into a nice little pattern for now.

For Two Months, Oddworld: Soulstorm Joins PS Plus
First off, fans already knowOddworld: Soulstormwill be launching on PS Plus. It releases April 6 and the PS5 version of the game will be filling in the consistent “two month slot” that PS Plus has featured since November. It went from offeringBugsnaxtoDestruction AllStarstoOddworld: Soulstormbeing available during April and June. Notably, this is probably due to the fact that many are still picking up PS5s, as almost every restock still sells out in the matter of minutes. While those who do get a PS5 during April have missed out on two games so far, it’s nice to see that “late” comers are not being forgotten.
Oddworld: Soulstormis the latest addition to an age-old platform franchise. It is both a “re-imagining” of 1998’sOddworld: Abe’s Exoddusand sequel to 2014’sOddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty!Overall, it’s both a classic and brand new experience for many PS5 adopters.
PS Plus Games for April 2021
The rest is a little harder to pin down and nowhere near exactly, no matter what’s on one’sPS Plus Wish List. In broad strokes though, every month since January 2021 has fit a few identifiable patterns. First off, it seems the days of 2 games every month are gone. That’s not to say they’re coming back, but while this pattern remains consistent, fans can expect 3-4 games in addition to the aforementionedOddworld. That’s without even mentioning the additionalPlay at Home Initiative, which has a ton of free gamesup for grabs right now.
Secondly, at least one of those games will be for the PS5 specifically. Not counting the free two month games, there has been one available for every month:Maneaterfor January,Controlfor February, andMaquettefor March. It remains to be seen what arrives in April, but fans can count on at least one additional PS5 game.
Ultimately, it all does all remain to be seen. While fans should not overhype themselves, the best expectation fans can have is yet another good month offree PS Plus games.
PS Plussubscribers get a handful of free games every month.
