Across the PS Plus and PS Now membership schemes, Sony always marks a new month with some fresh experiences for members of those clubs to enjoy at no extra cost.

Of course, April is also bringing with it a fresh stream of exciting titles which you'll have to pay separately for.

Keep on reading, then, and we'll break down everything that PS4 and PS5 owners can enjoy this month.

New PS Plus games for April 2021

As confirmed by Sony on the official PlayStation blog, there are three PS Plus games for members to grab in April 2021 – and they are great games, too.

PS4 owners with active PS Plus memberships will get to play Days Gone and Zombie Army 4: Dead War. Both of those games became available on 6th April. Days Gone had previously only been available for PS Plus members on the PS5.

If you have been able to get hold of a PlayStation 5 amidst the continuing PS5 stock issues, then you will be pleased to hear that you will be getting an extra game to play – and we can never get enough PS5 games! New release Oddworld: Soulstorm will be added on the same day as the others, 6th April.

PS Now is the cloud gaming service that lets you play Sony-approved games on your PS4, PS5 or PC without having to download them. And some new games are coming to this platform in April, too.

On April 6th, three new games came to PS Now. Those games are Borderlands 3, The Long Dark and Marvel's Avengers (which recently got a free upgrade in the shape of its Hawkeye DLC).

Borderlands 3 will be available on the service until 29th September, while The Long Dark and Marvel's Avengers will be available until 5th July.
