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 titles were announced in a recent PlayStation.Blog post and will be accessible to subscribers starting April 1, remaining available until the next set of games is introduced on May 5.
The April 2025 selection offers something for every type of gamer. RoboCop: Rogue City, developed by Teyon and Nacon, is a standout title that immerses players in the role of Alex Murphy in a first-person shooter set in a crime-ridden Detroit. A notable update in January of the previous year added a New Game Plus mode, enhancing the replayability of the game. Our review at launch awarded it a commendable 7/10, praising its faithful recreation of the '80s classic.
For fans of intense multiplayer action, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre by Sumo Digital and Gun Media provides an asymmetrical experience where players either survive or hunt as part of the Slaughter Family. This game, which simulates the terrifying proximity of Leatherface's chainsaw, earned a 6/10 in our review, noted for its engaging yet technically challenging gameplay.
To balance the adrenaline rush, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory from Bandai Namco offers a more relaxed pace with its turn-based monster-collecting gameplay. Released in 2018, this title allows players to explore a vast digital world and encounter over 320 Digimon, providing a fresh perspective on the original Cyber Sleuth narrative.
As these titles prepare to launch, PlayStation Plus subscribers should not miss the opportunity to download the March 2025 titles—Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Sonic Colors: Ultimate, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection—before they are replaced on March 31. Whether you're a current subscriber or considering joining, this is a prime time to enrich your gaming library.
