The big PS Plus Essential monthly refresh has arrived, cycling out three PS5, PS4 games and replacing them with new ones. The April 2023 lineup is now live on the PS Store across PS5 and PS4 systems in the UK and Europe, with the USA set to join the fun later in the day. Members of Sony's base tier can now download and play Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Tails of Iron, and the brand new day-one release Meet Your Maker.

In a recent Push Square Poll, 44 per cent of readers voted to say they're at least somewhat happy with April 2023's PS Plus Essential lineup, with Sackboy: A Big Adventure being the PS5, PS4 title getting you lot excited the most. The three new games will be available to download until Tuesday, 2nd May 2023, when they'll be replaced with another set of PS Plus Essential titles.

We plan to have a PS5 review of Meet Your Maker published in the near future, but until then, share your first thoughts on this month's titles in the comments below.

PlayStation 5 PC Xbox Series X PS5 Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Delayed to February 2024

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed yet again. In a tweet, developer Rocksteady Studios confirmed that its upcoming DC Comics looter-shooter has been pushed to a February 2, 2024 release date. Reports from last month suggested that the game was being delayed until later this year, following fan backlash from a PlayStation State of Play event for the game, showcasing detailed gameplay and a live service model. But it seems like the team needs a lot more time to ensure a polished experience at launch. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was originally slated for a May 26 release and will now arrive nine months later — which at first might seem like a long time for polish, but as per Bloomberg games reporter Jason Schreier, it's “actually normal these days.”
