The PlayStation Plus games lineup for April 2023 has been announced in a new PlayStation Blog revealing a vast array of blockbuster hits and indie favourites set to arrive on 18 April 2023 for active subscribers. On this date, players will gain access to adventures like Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Paradise Killer, Doom Eternal, Riders Republic, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
On the classics front, a vast array of Doom games will also be released for those on the PlayStation Plus Premium and Deluxe tiers, likely in celebration of the game’s 30th anniversary.
In addition to announcing new games arriving on the service, Sony has also revealed a few rare departures. In May 2023, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Resident Evil, and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 will be removed from PlayStation Plus, alongside ‘some’ other titles. While removals are fairly standard, the disappearance of Marvel’s Spider-Man is notable, as it is a Sony-published game.

It could be that developer Insomniac Games is gearing up for a new Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 reveal, which could inspire more players to seek out and purchase the game outright, or it may be a simple matter of licensing. Whatever the case, those keen to check out Spider-Man, or its fellow departing games, should get in quick.
