PlayStation has announced the games coming to PlayStation Plus in April. Alongside cards and outlaws, there’s also a heads-up that one game will be leaving another part of the service in May.Persona 5is leaving the PlayStation Plus Collection on May 11.
In an addendum on thePlayStation Blog, Sony says that adding the game to your library before May 11 will allow users to still have access, as long as they have an active Plus subscription. The PS Plus Collection is available for PS5 owners who have an active sub.
As for April’s PS Plus games, both PlayStation 4 and 5 get in onHood: Outlaws & Legends. The PlayStation 4 entries areSpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – RehydratedandSlay the Spire. The formerisn’t quite the best foot forwardfor a cult classic, but the latter is a deck-building roguelike thatwill eat your time like nobody’s business. Seriously, check outSlay the Spireif you somehow haven’t tried it yet.
March’s PlayStation Plus games also take off on April 4, so don’t forget to pick those up. Those areArk: Survival Evolved,Team Sonic Racing, the PS5 version ofGhostrunner, andGhost of Tsushima: Legends.
The PlayStation Plus Collection is still sticking around
Sonyrecently revealedits revamped PlayStation Plus plans, with “Essential” players keeping access to current benefits while higher tiers can get a catalog of games ranging across generations. It all goes live in June, and PlayStationconfirmed to IGNthat the Plus Collection willnotbe going away with this change.
As forPersona 5, it’s a bummer the beefy Atlus RPG is leaving the collection. Granted, it’s the base version and not thesignificantly expandedRoyal. ButPersona 5is a major RPG of the last console generation, and one that added some nice variety to the PS Plus Collection.
Considering Atlus has been rolling out a series ofPersonaannouncements over the last few months, maybe something’s in store. For now, it’s a good reminder for PS5 owners to ensure they’ve got all the Plus Collection titles in their library.
