PS Plus Extra/Premium: April 2026 Line-up

28

April’s PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog is one of the more varied drops in recent memory. Eight games spanning open-world racing, post-apocalyptic hunting grounds, football management, hack-and-slash roguelites, a trigger-happy squirrel, interactive horror, demonic deckbuilding, and a PS2 JRPG classic. Something for almost everyone, available from April 21. Here’s the full breakdown.

Extra

The Crew Motorfest | PS4, PS5

An open-world racing game set across the Hawaiian islands of O’ahu and Maui, built around a permanent festival of car culture. Over 700 vehicles across dozens of themed playlists – street racing through Honolulu, off-road on volcanic slopes, drift events, demolition royale and more. The structure is non-linear: you pick what you want to do and in what order. An offline mode was added in 2024, though the game is most alive with other players online. Think Forza Horizon’s closest PS-native equivalent. 

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered | PS4, PS5

Guerrilla’s 2017 open-world action RPG returns with a full visual overhaul built for PS5 – improved lighting, textures, facial animations and performance. You play as Aloy, an outcast hunter navigating a far-future Earth overrun by mechanical creatures, uncovering the mystery of how the world came to be this way. The remaster includes The Frozen Wilds expansion. If you played the original on PS4, this is the definitive version. If you haven’t played it at all, there’s no better time. 

Football Manager 26 Console | PS5

The console version of Sports Interactive’s annual football management sim. You take the dugout seat – handling transfers, tactics, training, press conferences and player development across a fully licensed league structure that now includes the complete English Premier League. The Console edition streamlines the experience compared to the PC version while keeping the depth that makes the series compelling. If you’ve ever wanted to turn your favourite club around, this is where it starts. 

Warriors: Abyss | PS4, PS5

Koei Tecmo’s spin on the Warriors formula with a roguelite twist – you battle through the underworld in run-based sessions, mowing through massive hordes of enemies across each attempt. Over 100 playable heroes drawn from across the Warriors franchise history, with each run letting you build a party by recruiting allies and combining their abilities. Runs end either in failure or in clearing the current layer of hell, with progression carrying over between attempts through permanent upgrades. High chaos, low barrier to entry. 

Squirrel with a Gun | PS4, PS5

Exactly what it says. You are a squirrel. You have a gun. The goal is to cause as much mayhem as possible across a suburban neighbourhood while collecting acorns and escaping a secret underground facility full of agents who would very much like their gun back. Made by a two-person indie team, it’s a sandbox shooter with puzzle platformer elements that fully commits to its absurd premise, including using recoil from firing to launch yourself across the map. Short, silly, and surprisingly well-made. 

The Casting of Frank Stone | PS5

A narrative horror game from Supermassive Games – the studio behind Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures – set in the Dead by Daylight universe. A group of young friends uncover the blood-soaked legacy of Frank Stone, a killer whose violence left permanent scars across the town of Cedar Hills and across time itself. Every decision you make shapes how the story unfolds and who survives. If you’re familiar with Supermassive’s style of branching cinematic horror, you know exactly what to expect. If you’re not, this is a good entry point. 

Monster Train | PS5

A roguelike deckbuilder with a structural twist: instead of a flat battlefield, you’re defending three vertical floors of a train bound for hell against waves of heavenly attackers. Each floor is its own tactical problem. You build your deck from six monster clans, each with distinct playstyles, upgrade cards, recruit units, and push through 25 escalating covenant difficulty levels. Over 280 cards mean no two runs feel the same. One of the best-regarded deckbuilders on PC finally arrives on PlayStation. 

Premium

Wild Arms 4 | PS4, PS5

A PS2-era JRPG from Media.Vision set on Filgaia, a world still scarred a decade after a brutal war. This fourth entry in the Wild Arms series abandoned the series’ classic Wild West theme in favour of a more sci-fi flavour, introducing a hex-based battle system where positioning and field control matter as much as stats. The PS Plus Premium version includes modern enhancements – up-rendering, rewind, quick save and video filters. A slice of mid-2000s Japanese RPG craft for subscribers willing to dig into something slower and story-driven.
