PlayStation Plus free games for April includes 'scare-filled' cult classic
While Halloween might still be over half a year away, this month's PlayStation Plus line up includes a 'scare-filled' cult classic that'll have you hiding behind the sofa - and the best part is you can pick it up for free.
Having an active PlayStation Plus subscription is near enough an essential for any keen gamers on Sony's platform, as it gives you access to free games every single month alongside a library of hundreds of must-play titles if you upgrade to one of the higher tiers.
While there have been some frustrating instances where the PlayStation Network has completely dropped out, and some top tier titles do eventually leave the service before you might get the chance to play them, it remains still a great way to try out games that you otherwise might have missed.
One such of these has arrived with the 'Essential' tier this month, and it's absolutely perfect for horror movie fans or simply anyone wishing to add some scares to their life.
Advert
Released back in 2023, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a game adaptation of the iconic Tobe Hooper horror masterpiece that places you on either side of the fight for survival.
Similar to other horror-inspired experiences like Dead by Daylight, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an asymmetrical multiplayer game where four survivors attempt to escape the grasps of a player-controlled Leatherface by activating fuse boxes that power an exit.
The survivors can't meaningfully fight back, so it provides a unique experience where you can either take the mantle of the killer and reign terror on your real life victims, or put yourself in the shoes of a survivor to experience the true horror of the situation.
One review in The Guardian described the experience as "an incredibly tense, scary, jump scare-filled face off between the hunter and the hunted," and if that sounds up your street then you'd better jump onto the PlayStation Store and start the download.
It'll become available for all PlayStation Plus subscribers (no matter what tier) on April 1, and you'll be able to claim it for the entire month to keep for life - or at least as long as you have an active subscription.
Joining The Texas Chain Saw Massacre this month too are RoboCop: Rogue City and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory, so there appears to be a bit of a tie-in theme going on!
There's certainly plenty to choose from no matter what you're interested in, and you've also still got until March 31 to download last month's offerings - which include the only recently released Dragon Age The Veilguard.
