On April 7, 2026, PlayStation Plus subscribers will gain access to two new monthly games: Lords of the Fallen and Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. This announcement follows the previous month’s offerings, which included popular titles like PGA Tour 2K25 and Monster Hunter Rise.
Lords of the Fallen, a Soulslike action RPG released in 2023, has garnered a Metacritic rating of 70 on PlayStation 5. However, some players have expressed mixed feelings about the game. One player, Jason, noted, “I desperately want to like Lords of the Fallen, but it’s the first game all year that’s actively annoyed me.” This sentiment highlights the divisive nature of the game among its audience.
On the other hand, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream offers a different experience, blending MMORPG elements with action gameplay. It features 21 characters from various arcs of the Sword Art Online anime and allows players to team up in 20-player raids, enhancing the cooperative gaming experience. The game has a Metacritic score of 68, based on only 12 critic reviews.
Both games will be available to subscribers from April 7 to May 5, 2026, providing a full month for players to explore these new titles. This release comes after March’s offerings, which included four games that will be available until April 6, 2026.
The official confirmation of these games was anticipated on April 1, 2026, as is customary for PlayStation Plus announcements. Reliable leaker Billbil-kun had hinted at the upcoming titles, making their release less of a surprise for dedicated followers of the service.
As the gaming community prepares for this new lineup, reactions are mixed. While some players are excited about the new additions, others are still reflecting on the previous month’s games, with Dominic praising Monster Hunter Rise as “an incredible game.”
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional titles that may be announced in the future, but the current offerings have certainly generated buzz among subscribers.
With the new games set to launch, PlayStation Plus continues to provide a diverse selection for its subscribers, catering to various gaming preferences and styles.
