This week, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the “free” titles coming to PlayStation Plus subscribers in April 2023. We present you the offered games in more detail.
As Sony Interactive Entertainment announced this week, PlayStation Plus subscribers can look forward to a total of three selected titles in April 2023, which can be downloaded at no additional cost as part of the Essential tier.
We’ll introduce you to the line-up for the next month and tell you what you can expect in terms of play.
Tails of Iron: Brutal combat in a treacherous kingdom
The secret highlight of PS Plus in April 2023 is certainly “Tails of Iron”, an action role-playing game that scores with both its hand-drawn graphics and its versatile combat system. You take control of the protagonist Redgi, an heir to the Rat Throne. Redgi aims to restore his kingdom to its former glory by putting the ruthless Frog Clan and their cunning leader, Green Wart, in their place once and for all.

Although we’d overshoot the mark a little when comparing it to the difficulty level of Soulsborne titles, Tails of Iron is one of the more challenging representatives of its genre and puts you in a world where all sorts of dangers await you.
Surviving in battle isn’t just about carefully studying your opponent’s attacks and strategies. At the same time, you are always faced with the task of adapting your equipment to the challenges ahead, for example by equipping the hero with heavy armour, nimble spears or powerful axes.

In addition, in “Tails of Iron” it is possible to forge your own weapons or create powerful potions. You can obtain the necessary resources and components by exploring the game world. The voice of Doug Cockles provides the necessary atmosphere. Cockles should be familiar to most of you as the English voice of the witcher Geralt from the “The Witcher” series.
In addition to the main Tails of Iron game, the PlayStation version also includes the free Bleeding Whiskers expansion, which includes new bosses, difficulty levels and missions.
Sackboy: A Big Adventure delivers classic platformer fare
The second “free” title of PS Plus Essential in April 2023 comes from the pen of the British developer studio Sumo Digital and is called “Sackboy: A Big Adventure”. In contrast to the main offshoots of the “LittleBigPlanet” series, this time a classic 3D platformer is offered, which you can tackle both alone and cooperatively with other players thanks to the coop component.
In the Sackboy: A Big Adventure campaign, you’ll race against the clock using a variety of new abilities that Sackboy has been gifted with for his latest adventure. Can you save the artful world from the sneaky Vex and his nightmarish upside-down device?

We recommend that you play the 3D platformer together with friends, as “Sackboy: A Big Adventure” has been provided with exclusive co-op levels, some of which score with special creative surprises. The subtle use of the DualSense features on the PlayStation 5 and a variety of different outfits round off the entertaining platformer.
Meet your Maker: Die Community im Fokus
There is still a small question mark behind “Meet your Maker”, since we are dealing with a day-one release for PlayStation Plus, which will only be activated or published on April 4, 2023. However, the concept outlined by the developers already makes you want more and builds above all on the creativity of the community.
According to the developer, the game offers a mixture of a first-person building title and a raiding game in which you either set up your own outposts or try to capture the outposts of other players. To prevent others from taking over your territory, take your creativity in a nasty direction and design mind-bending levels with customizable blocks, traps, and guards that you can mix and match as you see fit.

The sentries roaming your outposts are based on an AI system that you can modify to send the sentries along the routes you want. According to the developers at Behavior Interactive, the studio consciously decided on a day-one release in PlayStation Plus, since games like “Meet Your Maker” thrive on a large and active community.
At the same time, one extensive post-launch support promised, with which the entertaining genre mix should be made interesting in the long term. We will find out whether this concept works from April 4, 2023. Then the PlayStation Plus Essential titles for the month of April 2023 will be officially activated.
