In a significant update for gamers, PlayStation Plus has announced that subscribers will gain access to two new titles starting April 7, 2026: Lords of the Fallen and Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream. This announcement comes as part of the monthly games update, which is highly anticipated by the gaming community.
Lords of the Fallen, a Soulslike action RPG released in 2023, has garnered a Metacritic rating of 70 on PlayStation 5. Meanwhile, Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, which incorporates MMORPG elements, has a Metacritic score of 68 based on only 12 critic reviews. Both games will be available to subscribers until May 5, 2026.
March’s offerings included popular titles such as PGA Tour 2K25 and Monster Hunter Rise, which will be accessible until April 6, 2026. The anticipation for the new games is palpable, especially with the official confirmation expected on April 1, 2026.
Players can engage in 20-player raids in Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, which features 21 characters from various arcs of the Sword Art Online anime. The game also allows for solo play and online co-op, enhancing its appeal to a broad audience.
Notably, reliable leaker Billbil-kun has hinted at these titles, making their announcement seem almost certain. As one player remarked, “At this point, a Billbil-kun leak is basically an early announcement.” However, details remain unconfirmed.
Community reactions have been mixed, with one player expressing frustration over Lords of the Fallen, stating, “I desperately want to like Lords of the Fallen, but it’s the first game all year that’s actively annoyed me.” In contrast, another player praised Monster Hunter Rise, calling it “an incredible game.”
As the gaming world gears up for the new month, the excitement surrounding the PlayStation Plus monthly games continues to build. With both titles promising unique gameplay experiences, subscribers are eager to dive into these new adventures.
