Riders republic. Nice. I never bought it but played beta twice. Good fun openworld game.

[BigBosss]

I have 3 other mates who like playing multiplayer games. Is this something we will all enjoy together?

[Astrokis]

It’s a really fun game when there’s a lot of people on but the player base dropped a lot compared to launch. This should help increase the amount online drastically.

It’s definitely a - I want to chill with my friends type of game so definitely check it out! Also it’s a huge improvement over Steep

[MaximusPrime_]

Sounds good. Also, Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC coming a day after. I'll be more likely spending time on that DLC first. But will join when free.

Riders Republic is a ton of fun and one of the best things Ubisoft has done in recent years IMO.

The music and acting are obnoxious, which I just turn down... but it's so much just freeriding mountain bikes or other stuff across the mountains. I haven't played w friends, but I imagine it would be a ton of fun in MP. Very underrated game!

[SlothLordPootus]

I kept getting caught up in other games so I never got around to buying Doom Eternal. If it's good I'll still buy it so i can keep it. The reboot was awesome, i think i played through it about 5 times, and platinumed it.

[closed_account]

Same here, I've had Doom Eternal on my wishlist for a long time. I'm definitely jumping in considering the free PS5 upgrade they released.

[Storm23]

It is a lot of fun. First FPS in a while that has really grabbed me. And I love FPS games. C’mon Killzone/Resistance series remasters/remakes/sequels…anyt hing.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I agree , Sony has not produced a single player FPS campaign in about 8 years. I already played DOOM Eternal which was awesome.

[FallenAngel1984]

A whole lotta Bethesda titles in this lineup

Sackboy also got included as well despite already being as Essential title

[crazyCoconuts]

Regarding sackboy, you're right... That's confusing. At least wait until it's not in essential, as it's impossible to have extra without essential.

[Welshy]

Damned if you do and damned if you don't with that one I think. When a former monthly free game goes into the subscription catalog at a later date it also gets criticism, so may as well just add it straight away for people who don't claim it going forward I guess.

[Profchaos]

Hopefully the claim on the game counts as a essentials claim so when the game leaves the catalogue it doesn't leave the players library.

I found a similar situation frustrating I played fallout 76 when it was introduced as a premium game a month or so later it was a essentials game and I could not repurchase it so I'll lose the game when it leaves the Library

[crazyCoconuts]

Spiderman is in the titles leaving Extra in May. Guess 1st party titles aren't guaranteed to stay

[Welshy]

That's just the way of subscription services in general, titles come and go, but I'm sure it'll be back. Maybe it's a Quantum Break deal where it's just a license refresh?

It's one of the reasons I fear a subscription/digital only future. I don't want the platforms telling me what I can and can't play at any given time and waiting of tenterhooks for games I actually want to be available.

[closed_account]

Oh boy, that's making me want to jump back into Returnal! Not that I'd mind buying the game, love it.

[EvertonFC]

Great Month, own most of them but looking fwd to trying monstor boy, nice sto have EW in my collection now and some wolfeinstein.

[sagapo]

I will definitely give Kena a try! Nice month.

[shinoff2183]

Pretty straight month. Monster boy, I'll finally check out dishonored possibly, kena (if I like it I'll buy it physically)

[mastershredder]

I just had the longest laugh at that Bass Masters image of a dude in the competitive race-like ensemble. Dude, I had no idea that Fishing was so extreme and high-energy lol.

[Phantom68]

What they did not say is that 32 games will leave the service in May.

[thesoftware730]

You better get to playing then.

You got over 1 month left.

[shinoff2183]

For as many as they have on plus it's not a surprise to see that many leave.

I personally am sad to see star ocean first departure leave but I own it. Bought it before ps plus addition. Just wish more people would try it as I feel it's the best game on there.

[adamwparker]

Bassmaster

"We've got weights in fish!!!"

[onisama]

Lot of microsoft owned games are being added to ps plus while spiderman is leaving the service.... Weird world were living in

[Elda]

Kena & Doom Eternal are the goodies out the bunch but I've played them already. Nothing here for me.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Decent month. Both Gamepass and Plus been excellent lately. Kena was a slight disappointment for me though.

[andybock]

Lol was excited until I saw they are locked behind premium.

[Dandalandan117]

I just got Riders Republic last week damn
Hopefully they'll improve the issues regarding disconnected errors
Oh well at least I don't have Kena yet

[46player]

Kena kicks butt, gets tougher in NG+. Bought Doom Eternal on sale last week, so that sucks. Riders Republic is okay at best, pretty clunky.

[saint_seya]

Im glad because i have been thinking for a while to buy Kena, yet never did, now i can get the game for "free".

[StarkR3ality]

Wanted to play Kena! Awesome!

[Kyizen]

Been waiting for Kena, looking forward to it

[VivaLaManual]

Ugh. I hate how many FPS games they keep putting on the game catalog.
