Offer At the moment until 23rd for non members.12 months for €59.99 plus get €15 free credit to account. Only via PSN store.

Why do they never do these offers for current members. My sub is up in a few weeks

Indeed, look up the "Lock-in cycle" to understand business strategies for getting customers, and keeping them. In this case, the "churn" is likely to be not an issue for Sony so they don't have to make offers to existing customers.

I was gonna say that, people with it already won't want to lose what they have so they will fork out regardless. Crap practice, but it obviously works.

Yeah that will be me in a few weeks when it's up. Now I just need 12 months PsPlus to become available on eneba or instant gaming. Something definitely going on with both sites being out of stock of Irish PSN credit for at least 2 months now

Always happens me too, and even though I know I can stack them, I never buy the deal when it's available because it doesn't renew until May, and inevitably there's no deals to be found near that time. Every year, without fail, I do this. There could be a deal on the day I get paid, and I still don't do it. No idea why.

Any guesses or leaks on April's games?

Found this on Reddit, could be bull**** but will find out soon enough.

i work at marketing & pr of one of local PlayStation branch

* Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions ( PS4 , PS5 backwards compatible)

- June
* Grand Theft Auto Online (PS5 only , next gen upgrade available)
* Ratchet and Clank : Into the Nexus Remaster ( PS5 )
* Ratchet and Clank : Into the Nexus ( PS4 )

Ratchet and Clank : Into the Nexus?

Sounds very unlikely that they would remaster a PS3 title at the same time they have a new R&C game out.

The new Oddworld game is meant to be a freebie. The rest looks like a Wishlist to me!

CastorTroy

Even though I got it at Christmas and haven't tried it yet, giving Dreams away would be a good way to breathe new life into it.

Captain Tsubasa is part of the Easter sale today, highly unlikely it will be announced as a psplus game for April which would render the whole list BS.

Just seen a "leak" that the other 2 games are Days Gone and Zombie Army 4. Only seen it on hotukdeals so I wouldn't call it 100% true, especially with Days gone on the instant collection on ps5

Plenty of people won't have the PS5 though so it's a handy one to give for current PS4 users.

Yeah, would be shyte if it was Days Gone as already on Plus collection like you said. Amazing for those who haven't played it yet on PS4 though.

It would be absolute scutter if they started giving away the games that are in the instant game collection on a monthly basis like that. Really can't see that happening.

Those of us on PS4 don't have that though, and that's the vast majority tbf

Good month only if you have PS4 , kind of meh if you have PS5. Hopefully this isn't the start of instant collection games showing up as regular ps Plus monthly games

Zombie month, sponsored by Sony....

Many may already own or played Days Gone, but it is the best game of all time so I've no issues them sharing this masterpiece round everyone.

The old oddworld games never quite clicked with me, but nice to have a new game as a 'freebie' to give a blast.

And Zombie Army looks a bit of craic at least for some mindless action. So not a bad month by any stretch

Just finished Days Gone one of the best games i've played in ages

Ye get Oddworld. It's 2 PS4 games and 1 PS5 so seems fair to me

1 PS5 game and 1 PS4 game, Days Gone comes free with the PS Plus Collection.

Iinm there are still 8 games in the Collection that have not been on Plus

Crash N'Sane Trilogy
Fallout 4
Final Fantasy XV
The Last Guardian
Monster Hunter World
Mortal Kombat X
Persona 5
Resident Evil 7

Tried Days Gone a few months back through the Plus collection. I don’t know whether I just wasn’t in the mood for that type of game or something else, but I deleted it after about 3 hours.

When does it get good?

gimli2112

pretty much at the first cut scene. I've seen people say once you upgrade the bike or start getting certain skills but most people who really liked it, as far as I can tell, did so from the start. I just loved the whole set up story gameplay etc but it's not for everyone

I've said before I've killed myself trying to get into games that got good reviews but for whatever reason it just hasn't clicked, in saying that I have, albeit rarely, struggled to get into games and then for some unknown reason it just clicks.... case in point for me was Dying Light

It didn't for me.

Not a great selection for me this month, Oddworld will be given a go, but I couldn't get into the originals so can't see this being any different. Days Gone is meh at best (to me) and no interest in the Zombie Army games.

C'est la vie!

I asked this same question on the dedicated thread and the general consensus seemed to be that it doesn't "get good" i.e. you're either in from the start or you're not. I still have faith so I will play it again at some point if only in small doses. It's not garbage or anything, just annoying.

As the Plus collection wasn't available to us on PS4, outside of Fallout 4, I would like getting any of the above games in PS Plus.

How you getting twice as many games is fair is beyond me.
