In an exciting development for PlayStation Plus subscribers, the critically-praised puzzle game Blue Prince has joined the PS Plus Extra and Premium catalog. This marks a special exception to PlayStation's usual Tuesday update schedule, as Blue Prince launched directly on the service for its Thursday release date.

Blue Prince Joins PS Plus

PlayStation Plus Extra provides access to a rotating selection of modern PlayStation titles, while the Premium tier adds classic games from older consoles. Currently, members can enjoy two new additions:

  • Blue Prince: This innovative puzzle adventure has earned widespread acclaim, with some critics calling it one of the genre's finest examples. Its 90 OpenCritic score ties it with Hazelight Studios' Split Fiction as 2025's highest-rated releases so far.
  • EA Sports PGA Tour: This golf simulation arrived ahead of schedule, giving sports fans early access before the official April 15 update.

The full April 15 update will bring:

  • Extra Tier: Battlefield 1, Hogwarts Legacy, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 2, and PlateUp
  • Premium Tier: PS1's Alone in the Dark 2 and PS2's War of the Monsters

This diverse lineup includes 2023's best-selling game (Hogwarts Legacy), a beloved Battlefield installment, a brand-new narrative experience, and a chaotic cooking simulator.

All PlayStation Plus members, including Essential subscribers, can claim April's free games:

  • RoboCop: Rogue City
  • The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
  • Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory

With Blue Prince's exceptional reception and this robust April lineup, PlayStation Plus continues delivering strong value across all subscription tiers.
