Although Sony isn’t as boisterous as their console rival Xbox in lauding the “Day 1” games that are added to their subscription service, they do still have their moments, especially for indie titles. Joining the likes of The Plucky Squire and Tchia, the April 2025 lineup for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium features another standout indie game, which launches today, in the form of Blue Prince.
