As a dedicated PlayStation gamer, I'm absolutely buzzing about this month's PS Plus lineup! The crown jewel is undoubtedly Hogwarts Legacy dropping on April 15 for Extra and Premium subscribers—I've waited years to explore that magical 1800s world with my custom wizard. But the magic starts even earlier on April 10 with gems like Blue Prince, a puzzle roguelike that's stealing critics' hearts. Throw in Battlefield 1's gritty WW1 trenches and premium retro classics, and it feels like Sony conjured this lineup just for me. What a time to wield a DualSense! ✨

🧙 Hogwarts Legacy: My Early Access to Wizardry

I'll finally attend Hogwarts as my own original character in Avalanche Software's open-world adventure! Set centuries before Harry Potter, I'll duel dark wizards, tame magical beasts, and unravel Ranrok's goblin rebellion threatening the wizarding world's balance. The customization options alone—from wand cores to house selection—make this my most anticipated playthrough. Though I'm secretly hoping for some surprise quidditch mechanics!

🌟 April's Must-Play Catalog Highlights

From April 10, these gems join Extra/Premium:

• Blue Prince (PS5): 91% OpenCritic score! This roguelike card puzzler has me creating rooms with interlocking systems

• EA Sports PGA Tour (PS5): Perfect swing timing before golf season

• Battlefield 1 (PS4): 64-player WW1 chaos with tanks and destructible trenches

• PlateUp! (PS4/PS5): Overcooked-style kitchen madness

• Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (PS5): Narrative-driven mystery sequel

🃏 Why Blue Prince Has Me Obsessed

This Dogubomb-developed sleeper hit deserves its "97% critic recommended" status. I love how its card-based room creation forces clever spatial reasoning—one wrong placement can collapse entire runs! Raw Fury published a true innovator; my first playthrough left me both thrilled and stumped (hence sprinting to online guides). As TheGamer's 4.5/5 review warned: "It will make you run crying to the internet for answers." Pro tip: Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play it too!

💥 Battlefield 1: Trench Warfare Mastery

Revisiting this WW1 masterpiece feels timely with its dynamic 64-player battles. I’ll be storming no-man's-land with period-authentic weapons, piloting biplanes, or sabotaging buildings with environmental destruction—every match tells an emergent story. Its gritty atmosphere remains unmatched in military shooters.

📼 Premium Perks: Retro Resurrection

For us Premium subscribers, April delivers two HD-remastered classics:

War of the Monsters particularly excites me—its monster-vs-robot chaos looks stunningly polished for modern TVs!
