Sony has unveiled an exciting lineup of PlayStation Plus Essential titles for April 2025, featuring RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PS4, PS5), and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory (PS4). These games were announced via a PlayStation.Blog post and will be available to subscribers starting April 1, until the next rotation on May 5.
The April 2025 selection offers diverse gaming experiences catering to various player preferences. RoboCop: Rogue City, developed by Teyon and Nacon, is a first-person shooter that immerses players in the iconic role of Alex Murphy, battling crime in Detroit. A significant update in January of the previous year introduced a New Game Plus mode, enhancing replayability. Our review at launch awarded it a solid 7/10, praising its faithful recreation of the '80s atmosphere.
For those seeking intense multiplayer action, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from Sumo Digital and Gun Media offers an asymmetrical horror experience. Players can either survive or hunt as part of the Slaughter Family, with the game simulating the terrifying presence of Leatherface. Our review gave it a 6/10, noting its entertaining yet technically challenging gameplay.
Rounding out the lineup, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory by Bandai Namco provides a more relaxed pace with its turn-based monster collecting gameplay. Released in 2018, it expands the digital world with over 320 Digimon to discover and collect, offering a fresh perspective on the original Cyber Sleuth narrative.
As these titles become available, PlayStation Plus subscribers should also remember to download the March 2025 titles, including Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, before they are removed from the service on March 31. This ensures players can enjoy a robust library of games, whether they are current subscribers or considering joining the service.
