Alongside Hogwarts Legacy, subscribers will also have access to the indie roguelike puzzle game Blue Prince, the narrative adventure Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2, the golf simulation EA Sports PGA Tour, and the World War I shooter Battlefield 1, among others.
Blue Prince and Tape 2 of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage will both debut as launch titles on the Game Catalog, becoming available on April 10 and April 15, respectively. EA Sports PGA Tour will also go live on April 10, while the remaining titles will be accessible from April 15 for those subscribed to the PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/Premium tiers.
Sony further announced additional games for the Classics Catalog this month for PS Plus Premium subscribers. It’s worth noting that the PS Plus monthly games, which were disclosed last month, remain available to all PS Plus subscribers.
PS Plus Game Catalog Titles for April
April sees the arrival of Hogwarts Legacy, which invites players into a magical experience at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As a new student, players can select their preferred house, engage in classes, learn spells, brew potions, and interact with magical creatures.
The narrative intertwines with friends as they unearth an ancient magic that poses a threat to the Wizarding World. Featuring a vast open world that can be navigated on foot, on flying brooms, or via magical creatures, Hogwarts Legacy allows players to explore the intricately designed Hogwarts castle and uncover its many mysteries. The game is available on both PS4 and PS5.

Launching on April 10, Blue Prince is a roguelike puzzle adventure set within the ever-shifting confines of a single manor known as Mt. Holly. Each door presents a player choice, and the decisions affect the journey through the dynamically changing rooms of the manor.
Players take on the role of the protagonist, navigating the labyrinthine space in search of the elusive Room 46, collecting clues and permanent upgrades throughout their exploration. Blue Prince will be available on the PS5 starting April 10.
The second installment of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, which launched its first part on Game Catalog in February, will also be introduced on April 15. This narrative adventure by Don’t Nod follows the lives of four teenage girls—Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat—who return to Velvet Cove in the summer of 1995 to confront their pasts and rekindle their connections.
With a coming-of-age storyline enriched by deep characters and a nostalgic 90s soundtrack, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2 will also be playable on the PS5.
