Add as a preferred source on Google

Sony revealed the latest batch of games that PlayStation Plus subscribers can grab in April. It includes the brand-new Oddworld: Soulstorm, which will only be available to PS5 owners.

PS Plus is Sony’s online subscription service. Subscribers get a pack of free games every month that can be added to their PlayStation library. Since the PS5’s launch, Sony has used the service to give away new releases for free.

Following the same strategy it used for games like Destruction AllStars and Bugsnax, Sony is giving Oddworld: Soulstorm away to subscribers. The new release launches on April 6, the same day it will be available on PS Plus. Only PS5 owners can download the game, but PS4 owners can still claim it and then download it from their library when they upgrade consoles.

Zombie action game Days Gone is another one of this month’s big-ticket items. Both PS4 and PS5 owners will be able to add it to their library. PS Plus subscribers who own a PS5 technically already have the game, as it’s included in the free PS Plus Collection.

Another zombie game rounds out the lineup. Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a multiplayer shooter that supports up to four players. The game will be available for both PS4 and PS5 players.

All three games will be available starting on April 6. Players will have until May 3 to claim them. Don’t forget to grab March’s free games before April 6, which include Final Fantasy VII Remake and indie puzzle game Maquette.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

LOQ 17 gaming laptop

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.

This tiny Legion handheld puts the cloud in your hands

Lenovo has revealed more details about an upcoming Legion gaming handheld that could be among the thinnest and lightest devices in its category. The Legion C700 will measure just 14.99mm at its thinnest point and weigh approximately 556 grams, or around 1.25 pounds. By comparison, Lenovo’s Legion Go S is 22.6mm thick and weighs about 730 grams, while the ASUS ROG Ally X measures 24.7mm and weighs 678 grams.

Trimming these figures down should make the C700 much easier to hold for long periods and carry in a bag. But all of this portability comes at a cost--and that's cloud gaming.
