Despite PlayStation Plus’ incoming overhaul, the PlayStation Plus April 2022 lineup is still quite in line with past months. The games are Hood: Outlaws & Legends, Slay the Spire, and Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated. The three titles will be available from April 5 to May 2.
Hood: Outlaws & Legends is the PlayStation 5 title of the bunch, but it will also be available on PS4, too. It’s a multiplayer action game with magic, melee weapons, and bows and arrows that released in 2021 to mediocre reviews, garnering a 66 average from OpenCritic. Players can go up against AI or the AI and other humans as they try to rob the wealthy.

Slay the Spire is one of the PS4 titles and is arguably the most beloved of the trio, coming in at a 89 average. This deck-building roguelite is known for its brutal card-based gameplay and popularized the deckbuilding roguelite genre, inspiring games like Monster Train. It may be hard, but it was praised for its deep mechanics that reward those who learn its many intricacies.

Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is the final title. This PS4 remaster of a PS2 collect-a-thon platformer released in 2020 hit a 70 average on OpenCritic and was able to reach a whole new audience who grew to love the sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. Purple Lamp Studios’ next SpongeBob game is likely to release sometime this year, which gives PlayStation Plus subscribers time to catch up.
Sony also announced that Persona 5 would be leaving the PS Plus Collection for PS5 owners on May 11. Players just need to add it to their library to make sure it stays playable past that date, granted they keep their PlayStation Plus subscription.
While it may be a surprise to some, the lineup was once again leaked through Dealabs, which has an accurate track record of getting the lineup out there just before Sony’s official announcement.
