The world of Harry Potter has enchanted fans for almost 30 years in the form of books, films, video games and plays. And PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will be able to dive into that universe on April 15 with Hogwarts Legacy.
PlayStation Plus is Sony’s version of Xbox Game Pass, and it offers subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games. There are three PlayStation Plus tiers — Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) — and each gives subscribers access to games. However, only Extra and Premium tier subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.
Here are all the games PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can access starting on April 15 — and in a few cases, even earlier, on April 10. You can also check out the games that PlayStation added to the service in March, including the original Armored Core game.
Hogwarts Legacy
You won’t run into Harry, Ron or Hermione in this open-world RPG set in the Harry Potter universe, because the game is set in the 1800s, long before they were born. However, you’ll be able to explore the Hogwarts grounds, craft potions and encounter mythical beasts as a student at the storied magical school. Your character holds the key to an ancient secret that could tear the wizarding world apart, so it’s up to you to decide the fate of the world around you.
Blue Prince*
In this atmospheric, architectural game, you’ll embark on an adventure in an ever-changing manor filled with 45 mysterious and shifting rooms. You’re the heir to the manor, and you’ve been tasked with exploring each room and searching for the rumored room 46. But as you wander, each decision will shape your path through the manor. Will you reach your goal or get lost in your new home?

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2
This narrative adventure game takes place in the sleepy Michigan town of Velvet Cove, but at different times. You’ll rewind back and forth between 1995 and 2022 to uncover life-changing secrets and why these four high school friends are reuniting after all these years. The dreampop soundtrack, ethereal vibes and serene environment give the game a feeling of beauty and strangeness.
This is the sequel to Lost Records: Bloom and Rage – Tape 1, which Sony added to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in February. So you should play that first before picking up this game, or you probably won’t understand what’s going on.
Other games coming to the PS Plus catalog
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play those games in April, with a few other games arriving soon, too.
*Available on April 10.
