Sony today unveiled the March 2024 lineup of new games for the PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra catalog. Jak and Daxter fans, whom PlayStation and Naughty Dog rarely acknowledge, got a win today as the PSP version of Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is getting rereleased for the first time via PlayStation Plus Premium on March 19.

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier was released for PSP and PS2 in 2009 and is the closest thing we’ve ever gotten to a Jak 4. Although it’s not as well-polished as Naughty Dog’s trilogy, it’s an important piece of Jak and Daxter history that wasn’t easily playable outside of original hardware until this month. Hopefully, this sets the stage for PS Plus Premium rerelease of Daxter will eventually happen, although that isn’t confirmed at this time.

If you’re more interested in the newer games coming to PlayStation Plus’ game catalog, I’d recommend Marvel’s Midnight Suns. It’s an underrated RPG strategy game highlighting the supernatural side of the Marvel universe. Here’s the full list of games hitting PS Plus Premium and Extra on March 19.

  • Marvel’s Midnight Suns
  • NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition
  • Resident Evil 3
  • Lego DC Super-Villains
  • Mystic Pillar: Remastered
  • Blood Bowl 3
  • Super Neptunia RPG
  • Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot for PS5
  • JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R
  • Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
  • Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
  • Cool Boarders
  • God Eater Burst

The PlayStation Blog post announcing this lineup also revealed that the first season of My Hero Academia will be available for no additional cost on Sony Pictures Core to PS Plus Premium members starting March 13. It’s a rare multimedia bonus to Sony’s subscription service.

Be aware that the following games will leave the PS Plus Game Catalog on March 19.

  • Tchia
  • Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
  • GhostWire: Tokyo
  • NEO The World Ends With You
  • Haven
  • Code Vein

PlayStation Plus gets one of 2024’s best games in May
A player plays a straight in Balatro.

Sony just announced the May 2025 lineup for PlayStation Plus, and it's a doozy. Giant boltgun-wielding space marines, armored dinosaurs, and a card game best described as Poker-turned-roguelike all await this next month starting on May 6. You have until then to redeem the games from April, if you haven't already done so.

First up is Balatro for PS4 and PS5 players. This game has been the subject of a lot of discussion, especially because it's a small indie that took home more awards than many AAA games. At the Game Awards, it won Best Debut Indie Game, Best Independent Game, and Best Mobile Game — and for good reason. Balatro is a deckbuilder with a twist; you use a standard deck of playing cards, but some cards have abilities and multipliers that help you on your quest to get the highest score you possibly can.

3 PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (April 25-27)

The end of a month is always exciting. We have an entire month of upcoming PS5 games to look forward to, plus the excitement to hear what new games will be coming to PlayStation Plus. April finished up strong with Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 arriving just this past week, which we suspect many of you will still be playing. However, that game isn't for everyone, and some of us out there can't afford to get this hot new game at full price. Whatever the case may be, this is the time when your PS Plus subscription really shows its worth. Just like I do every week, I have hand-picked some great games on the service you are sure to enjoy over the weekend.

April has been a bit of a slow month for new and upcoming PS5 games. Next month has tons of great offerings, from the creepy The Midnight Walk to the adrenaline-pumping Doom: The Dark Ages, but it is in periods like this where PlayStation Plus comes in to help you fill in the gaps. The second half of the month saw a somewhat smaller number of games coming to the Extra and Premium tiers than usual, but the quality and variety more than make up for it. As always, we like to give you a nice variety of options for what to check out this weekend and are confident that this group of 3 new PlayStation Plus games has something you will love.
