Playstation Plus Monthly Games: The April 2026 Leak Promises a Big Addition—But Keeps the Rest in the Dark
Ahead of an expected April 1 (ET) announcement, the next wave of playstation plus monthly games is being shaped by a single leak: one title, a specific claim window, and little else—leaving subscribers with a headline name but no full picture of April 2026.
What exactly does the leak say about Playstation Plus Monthly Games for April 2026?
The leak attributes April’s first known addition to Dealabs’ billbil-kun, described as having a consistent and accurate track record for revealing PlayStation Plus games early. The key claim is that Lords of the Fallen will be added to PlayStation Plus in April 2026.
The reported availability window is precise: the game would be claimable from April 7 through May 5, 2026. The leak also indicates the title should be accessible for subscribers across the Essential, Extra, or Premium tiers. Beyond that, the same information stream offers no additional details on the remainder of April’s lineup.
Notably, the game has not been officially confirmed for PlayStation Plus at the time of the leak, and the official announcement is expected Wednesday, April 1 (ET).
Why is Lords of the Fallen positioned as April’s early headline?
The leak frames Lords of the Fallen as an opportunity for players to catch up on a 2023 soulslike before a sequel arrives. The title is identified as a soulslike from Hexworks and published by CI Games. It is characterized as a successor and reboot to a 2014 game with the same name, while also being positioned as accessible to new players without prior experience of the earlier entry.
In terms of reception and current condition, the available context is mixed but specific: recent reviews are described as mixed, while the game still holds a “Mostly Positive” ranking on Steam. The game is also described as having a rough launch with performance issues, followed by many patches that improved performance over time. A latest major update—version 2. 5—arrived at the end of 2025 and is described as making major changes, including increasing the speed of combat, making boss fights deadlier, and adding a new Veteran mode.
The Veteran mode is described as intended for players who have already mastered the base game and are looking for a greater challenge—an important detail for subscribers who may see the game as a first-time entry point. The larger timing context is that Lords of the Fallen 2 is expected later in 2026, making a subscription addition a convenient way for PlayStation players to sample or revisit the franchise.
What remains unknown—and what subscribers can verify next
The most striking limitation is also the most consequential for planning: the leak provides no information about what else will be included in April 2026. That leaves the playstation plus monthly games conversation dominated by a single title and a single set of dates, rather than a complete value proposition for the month.
For now, the only concrete checkpoints in the record are these: an official announcement is expected on Wednesday, April 1 (ET); the leaked title is Lords of the Fallen; and the claimed availability window is April 7 through May 5, 2026, with tier access suggested to span Essential, Extra, and Premium. Everything beyond those points—including the rest of the lineup—remains unconfirmed until the official reveal.
Until then, the state of play is straightforward: the leak offers a potentially major addition, but subscribers looking for the full April 2026 package will still be waiting for official confirmation of the playstation plus monthly games lineup.
