Hogwarts Legacy features a vast open world that can be traversed on foot, on broomsticks, and with magical creatures. Hogwarts Castle has been rendered in meticulous detail, allowing players to experience magic first-hand and discover the school’s many secrets. Hogwarts Legacy is playable on PS4 and PS5.

The Blue Prince will be released as a day-one game on the PS Plus game catalog on Thursday, April 10. This roguelike puzzle adventure game is set entirely in an estate, Mt. Holly, where the rooms are constantly moving and changing. Each closed door is a player’s decision about the room behind it, and the sum of these decisions determines your journey through the manor.
As the protagonist, the player travels through the maze in search of the mysterious Room 46, looking for clues and permanent upgrades on each run. The more you explore, the more you learn about the estate’s past. “The Blue Prince” will be available in the PS5 game catalog starting April 10th.
The second tape of the two-part Lost Records: Bloom & Rage will also be released this month as the launch title for the PS Plus game catalog. Tape 1 was released on Game Catalog in February; Tape 2 will be available on April 15th. Don’t Nod’s narrative adventure tells the story of four teenage girls, Swann, Nora, Autumn and Kat, who uncover the secrets of Velvet Bay in the summer of 1995.
After 27 years, the friends return to the town to confront their past and reconnect. This coming-of-age story features rich characters and a beautiful soundtrack that evokes ’90s nostalgia. “Lost Records: Bloom and Fury – Tape 2” will run on PS5.
