PS Plus April UPDATE: Free PS4 game bonus and new PlayStation Plus deals

It won’t be long until PS4 gamers are downloading the latest PS Plus titles for April 2019.

Announced last week by Sony, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to add Conan Exiles and The Surge to their digital libraries on April 1.

But that isn’t the only PS Plus bonuses fans can enjoy this week, with more being offered by Sony PlayStation.

It was recently announced that Path of Exiles, the successful free-to-play title released back in 2013 for PC, is now available on PS4.

This a free download that requires a PS Plus subscription to enjoy online multiplayer.

However, fans can also download a special PlayStation Plus bundle for Path of Exile this weekend too.

This can be found on the PlayStation Store and adds special items to your game, which are exclusive to PlayStation Plus.

The pack contains an Infernal Skull helmet skin and a Fire Frog pet, both of which can be claimed today.

So there’s no waiting around for Tuesday to roll by so you can download those new games.

It should be noted that there are plenty of other exclusive PS Plus bundles that can be downloaded for other games too.

The PlayStation Store also contains cosmetic bundles and in-game items for Star Trek Online, Fortnite Battle Royale and Apex Legends.

None of these appears to be timed items, meaning you can claim them whenever you have an active PS Plus subscription.

PS Plus subscribers also have access to a range of boosted discounts this weekend as part of their subscription.

Games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider have seen big price drops, with the new adventure from Square Enix discounted by over 50%.

Yakuza 6 is another game seeing a steep reduction in its price tag, alongside The Last Guardian and Warhammer: Vermintide 2.

It’s worth checking the full list of discounted games on the PlayStation Store before they disappear.

And while you don’t need an active PlayStation Plus account to get the bulk of these discounts, it does enhance many of the current deals, driving down prices.

And if that doesn’t interest you, there are still the PlayStation Plus games from March available to download today.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and The Witness can be claimed right now and added to your digital library.

These titles will remain available until Tuesday, April 2, when they will be replaced and go back to their normal prices in the Store.

And out of the four games that will be available to download over the coming days, The Witness is the best-reviewed title.

According to Metacritic, the puzzle title scores the highest among critics and users, scoring an 87 Metascore and a 7.2 User Score.

Conan Exiles comes in at the bottom of the list, earning an average 68 Metascore and 5.5 User Score, albeit, from a smaller pool of reviewers.
