PlayStation Plus subscribers — across all three tiers, Essential, Extra, and Premium — have roughly 48 hours to get four games for free. This is at least the case for PS Plus subscribers on PS5. Only two of these games are available to PS Plus subscribers on PS4. Once claimed, each PlayStation Plus game is free to keep in your PSN library perpetually, as long as an active PS Plus subscription is retained. If your subscription lapses, you will lose access to all games downloaded for free via PS Plus until your subscription is renewed.
More specifically, all PlayStation Plus subscribers have all of April 5 and all of April 6 to claim the following games for free: Monster Hunter Rise, PGA Tour 2K25, Slime Rancher 2, and The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road. Come April 7, these four games will be replaced with April 2026’s lineup, which features three free games. This is one less than what is available right now, but one of the games is a collection with three games. To this end, technically, the April 2026 lineup has more free games than the March 2026 lineup.

The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road is just the most up-to-date version of The Elder Scrolls Online. Given the nature of The Elder Scrolls Online, its original Metacritic score doesn’t provide any insight into its current quality. Whatever the case, being included in PS Plus is saving subscribers from a $20 purchase.
