PS Now is Sony's equivalent of Xbox Game Pass, in fact, it was launched three years before Game Pass.

One of the main differences is, the majority of the games have to be streamed over the internet as opposed to being downloaded.

While this can cause some issues, many people now have internet speeds that can do this successfully.

Now it's time to look ahead towards what games could be coming to the service in April 2021.

Release Date

The latest PS Now games are usually announced on the 1st of the month, with them going live on the 2nd.

This means that we can expect April's games to be announced on April 1st and they will go live on April 2nd.

Leaving Games

According to PlayStation Gaming, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is expected to leave the service on April 29th

Predictions

At the moment we don't have any official confirmation as to what the new PS Now games could be, but that doesn't stop us from speculating.

Here are our predictions.

The Division 2 could be the perfect PS Now title to start the month off. Each month, there's usually a pretty solid multiplayer title included in the PS Now line-up and Tom Clancy's The Divison 2 could be April 2021's choice.

It's a pretty old game but being added to PS Now could give it the boost of life it needs at this later stage of its life.

Other people think Death Stranding could be the stand-out addition and we're inclined to agree with them. March 2021 didn't see anything really amazing get added to PS Now so we're due a bit of a blockbuster in April, right?

DEATH - Have you played Death Stranding yet? Would you get PS Now if it was added?

In addition to this, smaller games like Cuphead and Subnautica are both being talked about and would both make an interesting addition.

With Bethesda joining Xbox and adding twenty titles to Game Pass this week, you feel as if PlayStation is going to have to push the boat out to convince people to keep their PS Now subscriptions.

March 2021 Games

March 2021 saw some really great games come to the service, so we can expect the same level of quality in April too.

World War Z, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Infamous Second Son, and SUPERHOT were added to the service in March 2021.

Superhot

Blurring the lines between cautious strategy and unbridled mayhem, Superhot is the FPS in which time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops.
