The PS Plus lineup for April has leaked

UPDATE: And now it's official.

UPDATE 30/3/22: Sony has now formally unveiled April's PlayStation Plus games line-up and, unsurprisingly given the veracity of previous PlayStation Plus leaks from French forum Dealabs, the official list remains unchanged.

That means, from 5th April, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download and play acclaimed card-battler Slay the Spire (PS4), Hood: Outlaws & Legends (PS4 & PS5), and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated (PS4).

Sony has also warned PlayStation 5 owners that Persona 5 is being removed from its PlayStation Plus Collection on 11th May, meaning they should download it soon while the chance remains.

Eurogamer interviewed the developers of Hood Outlaws & Legends last year on their dark Robin Hood competitive heist game.

Slay The Spire, meanwhile, is "a gorgeous blend of dungeon-crawler and card-battler" according to the Eurogamer review.

Then there's colourful mascot platformer Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, which originally released in January 2020.

Dealabs reports these games will be available from 5th April.

Until then, you can download ARK: Survival Evolved, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, Team Sonic Racing, and Ghostunner (PS5).
