Meet Your Maker | PS4, PS5 ​

Meet Your Maker is a post-apocalyptic first-person building-and-raiding game where every level is designed by players. Switch between roles as you mastermind devious Outposts filled with traps and guards, then gear up for methodical fast-paced combat raiding other players’ creations, gaining an edge by choosing the right loadout (melee, ranged, defensive), perks, and consumables to match your challenge or playstyle. Combine your creativity and build with a friend or join forces to raid Outposts as a team of two.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure | PS4, PS5​

Iconic PlayStation hero Sackboy bursts back into breathtaking action with a huge, fun and frantic 3D multiplayer platforming adventure. Go solo in an epic race against time stuffed with danger and peril or enjoy local or online party play, creating teams of two to four adventurers as you work together to overcome nefarious tasks however you can imagine, including unmissable co-op only levels.

Tails of Iron | PS4, PS5​

Set in a grim land plagued by war, Tails of Iron is a hand-drawn RPG Adventure with punishingly brutal combat. As Redgi, heir to the Rat Throne, you must restore your broken Kingdom by banishing the merciless Frog Clan and their ferocious leader, Greenwart. As you explore the deceivingly charming world, you’ll encounter a cast of unique companions, ready to aid you in your adventure. And you’ll need all the help you can get, whether that’s new meal recipes, blueprints to forge deadly weapons and armor, or even a land-chugging, armor-plated mole mobile!

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Sackboy!! Nice!

 

[tmlDan]

Sackboy is highly underrated.

Pretty decent month

 

[analog_future]

Sackboy is legit amazing. One of my favorite 3D platformers in years, especially when playing with friends or family.

 

[Mr Moose]

Down for Sackboy.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Nice. Sackboy is awesome.

 

[jshaver488]

Good. Don’t the “extra” games leave after a while? It’s why I haven’t downloaded forbidden west yet. This way I can have sack boy in my library forever

 

[Mossybrew]

Fuck this shit. And fuck Sackboy. What a sad month.

I don't think it will happen with their first-party games, but who knows?

 

[adamsapple]

Verging into Games w/ Gold territory here. Hopefully Extra is better.

 

[shubik]

Another good lineup. Sackboys was on my list for some time and Meet your maker looks interesting as well. In the meantime I still have to finish Resident Evil 4, Tchia, Life is strange and Ghostwire from this month....

 

[Trogdor1123]

Awesome month! Wanted to try all of these so I’m very happy

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

oh nice Sackboy

This. I finally learned to curb my nature of buying every game I'm interested in, and wait for them to arrive on the subs.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Already got Sackboy, so not the best month for me. May play some Tails of Iron though.

Can’t tell if this is a joke or not.

I’ve literally been waiting for Sackboy since we first heard rumblings about Extra. Great that it’s in essential as we can keep it forever.

 

[Captain Toad]

Sackboy for Essential?

I'm surprised how many big games that are still going to Essential. You'd think they'd hold that stuff to sell people on Extra and Premium.

Of course, if you don't flag it in April you lose your shot, so they can still add it to Extra later on.

I don't know about those other two games.

 

[DeepEnigma]

they refuse to put sackboy on extra lol

Why would they have to? If you have Extra, then you have Essential and if you ever downgrade Extra and stick with Essential, you still have access to the game if you added it to your library.

It's wishful thinking from a PlayStation hater.

This is in no way comparable to GwG.

 

[Drizzlehell]

I'm clinically incapable of getting excited about anything anymore but I'm sure someone will be stoked to play these.

 

[reinking]

I wish they had thrown VR2 a bone but I have not played Sackboy yet so I am happy with April.

 

[Kerotan]

Sackboy is a great addition!

I inow, but other early PS5 games like Demon's Souls and Miles Morales are there, so it's kinda weird lol. But maybe they will add it next month so it's available for new Extra/Premium users.

 

[Punished Miku]

Sackboy is a solid addition. And a day 1 indie as well. Looks good. First month I'm wishing I had PS+ again since canceling it.

 

[Fbh]

Ps+ Essential has been pretty solid as of late so a bland month every now and then is expected.
I guess the medieval mouse knight game looks sort of interesting.

 

[Platinumstorm]

I was expecting the Spyro trilogy. It was pretty heavily discounted during the essentials sale, which is still going on.

PS+ Essential has only seemed to get better since the launch of PS+ Extra. I'm not sure how that makes sense business-wise, but I'm all for it.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Crazy good month.

3 interesting games that aren't/won't be big sellers. That's about as perfect as it gets.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Pretty excited for Sackboy! I love little big planet.

 

[vodka-bull]

Already platinumed Sackboy and it‘s an incredible good game for everyone who hasn‘t played it. The other two are probably just two more games in the pile of PS+ games I‘m goong to add but never play.

 

[Fbh]

Yeah I have to commend Sony for that.
With the launch of Extra and Premium I was expecting Essential to go the Games with Gold route but it has remained really solid.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Nothing for me but happy for anyone who this appeals to.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Sackboy is low-key the best platformer in years. Best local co-op game too.

 

[CamHostage]

For those who, like me, cannot ever find the PS Plus library on Sony's miserable current version of webstore, here's a direct link to the monthly 3 game selection:

(It'll rotate out when the April games come out, but you may want to grab Code Vein, Minecraft Dungeons, or BF 2042 if you haven't yet claimed them.)

You’re drunk man. GwG is literally a digital license garbage disposal.

 

[Topher]

Verging into Games w/ Gold territory here. Hopefully Extra is better.

Sackboy alone puts it light years above the typical garbage on GwG.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Excited to play Sackboy!

 

[yurinka]

Sackboy is a great game

 

[AlexxKidd]

I won't dog on you apple. I respect your shitty opinion

 

[Kvally]

Excited to play Sackboy!

You know he banged my Bree Olson. I hate you!

 

[aclar00]

Where's my Sackboy VR2 update Sony!?

[ReBurn]

I'm looking forward to playing Sackboy.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I bought Sackboy after I really enjoyed Astros Playroom. I found Sackboy very monotonous unfortunately and sold it on quickly.
