Free Update Enhances PlayStation Plus Essential Game Experience
Filmogaz.com reports PlayStation Plus revealed its April 2026 Essential line-up this week. The pack includes three games arriving on 7 April.
Monthly selection
The standout is Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft. It bundles the first three PlayStation Lara Croft adventures with modernized controls and a visual overhaul.
Lords of the Fallen is the other major inclusion. The soulslike is less punishing than genre leaders, making it more accessible for many players.
Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream completes the trio. Critics view it as the weakest of the three additions.
Co-op update for Lords of the Fallen
A free update enhances the PlayStation Plus Essential game experience for Lords of the Fallen. Bandai Namco announced the “CO-OP Update” on the game’s official X account.
The change allows visiting co-op partners, or “Lampbearers,” to perform actions once limited to the host. The patch also improves multiplayer stability.
- Upgrade weapons and equipment
- Socket upgrade items
- Interact with vendors
- Use Chrysalis Rebirth
- Rest and warp between Vestiges
- Plant Vestige seeds
- Begin boss battles
Version and availability
The co-op improvements apply to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions only. Some confusion arose over which version would appear in PlayStation Plus.
Bandai Namco confirmed the up-to-date edition is the one joining the Essential line-up. All three titles will be free to download on 7 April.
